This patch series adds unified configuration and documentation for coding
agents working with the Linux kernel codebase. As coding agents become
increasingly common in software development, it's important to establish
clear guidelines for their use in kernel development.
The series consists of two patches:
1. README: restructure with role-based documentation and guidelines
- Reorganizes README to provide targeted documentation paths for
different user roles (developers, researchers, security experts,
maintainers, and AI coding assistants)
- Adds quick start section and essential documentation links
- Establishes proper attribution requirements for AI-assisted
contributions using Assisted-by tags with agent details
2. agents: add unified agent coding assistant configuration
- Creates configuration files for major coding agents (Claude,
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Continue, Windsurf, and Gemini)
- Uses @README references to point all agents to the central
documentation, ensuring consistency across tools
The agent configuration files now use @README references instead of
symlinks.
Example agent attribution in commits:
Assisted-by: Claude-claude-3-opus-20240229 checkpatch
This ensures full transparency about agent involvement in code development
while maintaining proper attribution standards.
