Yeah, I think this is fine. I don't want a separate file just for
Agents: we intentionally designed the README to work for them. That
there are Agents missing it is sad, but okay. And the Agents are already
trained to deal with for-human docs, so that it adds more tokens
shouldn't matter here since it's tiny. (If it reads the contribution
docs before every patch creation that seems like a good thing?)
