The motivation to help the OSS project should also come with the obligation to learn how the software operates, at least on a conceptual level. The desire to help does not grant people the pass to sledgehammer their way into adding in a feature.

If someone can’t write their own Agent.md for a project how are they going to validate the auto-completed text?

This strikes me as the ideal LLM first contribution/PR, a file explaining the projects standards and testing and structure.

Why should the project maintainers write such a file, when the info already exists within the README? It is duplicated work at best, and a definitive sign of the incapabilities of the agent to properly parse the project's contribution guidelines.
