Summary

Brings the agent setup over from Minimal API, so any coding agent works here the way we do.

• AGENTS.md, a one-line CLAUDE.md and Jacques, our sous-chef persona (.agents/agents/jacques.md). These match Minimal API except for the MCP rows.
• 37 skills in .agents/skills:
  • 25 shared skills, identical to Minimal API except for the name.
  • 5 MCP skills: expose-a-use-case (a tool, resource or prompt), api-conventions (tool names, annotations, result shapes, errors and server instructions), json-serialization, presentation-integration-tests (a real MCP client against the in-memory server) and mcp-inspector.
  • 7 repository and maintainer skills, which aren't included in the template package.
• The template package ships AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Jacques and the 30 engineering skills. I installed a packed template, and the generated solution builds and passes its tests.
• CONTRIBUTING gets the "Working with an AI agent" section, and the PR template gets the skills checkbox.

A few presentation changes so the skills describe the code as it is:

• Tool, resource and prompt descriptions are now XML comments on partial methods. The MCP SDK's generator turns them into the same [Description] attributes, word for word, so XML comments are the documentation here too.
• /mcp always asks for authorization, the same as Minimal API. When no authority is set, the policy lets everyone in.
• Serilog is registered with AddSerilog. The version properties are now AssemblyVersion and AssemblyInformationalVersion.
• The integration tests read results with the server's own McpSerializer.Options instead of a private copy.
• AppJsonSerializerContext lists only the types the server writes.
• The CS8618 #pragma in the tool tests is gone.
