You could get this page down to under 100 words by simply having it say "the name of the file LLM agents will look at for instructions on the repo is AGENTS.md; that's it, that's the standard".

It's a real problem! Every agent right now has their own weird filename. I love David Crawshaw's sketch.dev, but for reasons passing understanding they choose "dear_llm.md" for theirs.

I created a ticket for adding AGENTS.md support.

edit: They're on it. Not everything has to be complex; sometimes somebody just has to do it.
