Let’s sum it up

  1. Place documentation where both human developers and AI agents can expect it. For example, in README.md, not AGENTS.md.
  2. Prefer exposing functionality as command-line tools and APIs, which are well accessible to developers and AI agents alike, over GUI and MCP tools.
  3. Avoid parameters (command-line, environment, etc.) that segregate workflows between humans and AI agents, for example, avoid AI=true, prefer --quiet or—even better!—design your tools with limited context/mental-overload in mind.
  4. In general, avoid making workflows that are available to AI but hard to access for humans, and vice-versa.
