docs: refactor AGENTS.md and README.md for proper separation of concerns

Browse Source 
AGENTS.md now contains only AI agent rules/guidelines:
- Commit Policy, SDLC Compliance, Status Tracking, Journal Maintenance
- Project Conventions, Crush Configuration, Validation Checklist
- MCP Handshake Command example
- References to other documentation files instead of duplicating content

README.md now contains comprehensive project documentation:
- Full MCP/LSP server inventory tables (30+ servers organized by category)
- Server technologies by language (TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Prebuilt)
- Environment variables reference table for all services
- Installation, usage, troubleshooting guides
- Crush integration configuration examples

This refactoring ensures:
- AGENTS.md is a concise reference for AI agent behavior (~107 lines)
- README.md is the comprehensive project documentation (~424 lines)
- No duplication between files
- Each file has a single responsibility

# AI Agents Documentation
# AI Agent Guidelines
This document tracks the AI agents and MCP servers configured in this project.
This document contains rules and guidelines for AI agents working on this project.
> **🔴 AUTOMATIC COMMITS**: AI agents MUST commit and push changes automatically WITHOUT prompting. Use atomic commits (one logical change per commit), conventional format (`feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`), and verbose messages. See [docs/SDLC.md](docs/SDLC.md) for full commit policy.
## Commit Policy
> **📋 SDLC Compliance**: All MCP/LSP development MUST follow [docs/SDLC.md](docs/SDLC.md). Key rule: **Protocol handshake is NON-NEGOTIABLE** - build + start + protocol validation ALL required before marking a server as "working".
**AUTOMATIC COMMITS**: AI agents MUST commit and push changes automatically WITHOUT prompting.
> **Status Tracking**: Current operational status of all MCP servers is maintained in [STATUS.md](STATUS.md). Please refer to that file for the latest status of each server.
- Use atomic commits (one logical change per commit)
- Use conventional format: `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `test:`
- Write verbose commit messages explaining the change
- See [docs/SDLC.md](docs/SDLC.md) for full commit policy
> **Journal Maintenance**: ALL work performed on this project MUST be documented in [JOURNAL.md](JOURNAL.md). This is an append-only journal that tracks Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), insights, patterns, and the reasoning behind all work done. Never delete entries from the journal. Each entry must be date/time stamped.
## SDLC Compliance
## Agents Overview
All MCP/LSP development MUST follow [docs/SDLC.md](docs/SDLC.md).

## Quick Start
To start an agent:
```bash
docker compose up -d <service-name>
```
Example:
```bash
docker compose up -d kicad-mcp
```
To view logs:
```bash
docker compose logs -f <service-name>
```
To stop an agent:
```bash
docker compose stop <service-name>
```
## Development Notes
### SDLC Compliance (REQUIRED)
**Read [docs/SDLC.md](docs/SDLC.md) before working on any MCP/LSP server.**
The SDLC defines the mandatory validation workflow:
1. **BUILD**: Container must build without errors
2. **START**: Container must start without immediate crash
3. **PROTOCOL**: Must receive valid JSON-RPC response to handshake
Without ALL THREE, a server is NOT "working".
MCP handshake command:
```bash
echo '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"capabilities":{},"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05","clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1.0.0"}},"id":1}' | \
timeout 10 docker run --rm -i kneldevstack-aimiddleware-<service>
```
### Critical: STATUS.md Maintenance
**STATUS.md MUST always be kept fully up to date** as it is the single source of truth for operational status of all MCP servers in this project.
Current operational status of all MCP servers is maintained in [STATUS.md](STATUS.md).
When working on any MCP server:
1. **Before starting work**: Review current status in STATUS.md
2. **During work**: Update STATUS.md immediately after each significant milestone (build, start, validation, issues)
3. **After completing work**: Ensure STATUS.md accurately reflects final status with relevant notes
4. **Commit STATUS.md changes**: Always commit STATUS.md updates in separate atomic commits with clear commit messages
1. **Before starting**: Review current status in STATUS.md
2. **During work**: Update STATUS.md immediately after each significant milestone
3. **After completing**: Ensure STATUS.md accurately reflects final status
4. **Commit changes**: Always commit STATUS.md updates in separate atomic commits
### Project Conventions
## Journal Maintenance
- All containers use the prefix `kneldevstack-aimiddleware-` for easy identification
- Container names are lowercase for consistency
- Service names are lowercase for Docker Compose compatibility
- Each agent is validated individually before moving to the next
- Vendor directory is gitignored to avoid committing cloned repositories
- **Dockerfile Management**: Custom Dockerfiles created for vendors must be saved in the `dockerfiles/` directory with a corresponding subdirectory structure (e.g., `dockerfiles/bash-language-server/Dockerfile`). These are tracked in git, while vendor/* is not.
- **KiCAD MCP** is host-only - requires KiCAD to be installed on host machine and connects via TCP
ALL work performed on this project MUST be documented in [JOURNAL.md](JOURNAL.md).
### Crush Integration
- This is an append-only journal
- Tracks Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), insights, patterns, and reasoning
- Never delete entries from the journal
- Each entry must be date/time stamped
All LSP and MCP instances must be configured in `crush.json` for Crush to use them. The configuration file uses the following format:
## Project Conventions

The repository includes helpful scripts in the `scripts/` directory:
#### scripts/CloneVendorRepos.sh
Clone all upstream vendor MCP/LSP repositories:
```bash
./scripts/CloneVendorRepos.sh
```
This script clones all 40+ vendor repositories into `vendor/` directory.
#### scripts/BuildAll.sh
Build all MCP/LSP services:
```bash
./scripts/BuildAll.sh
```
This script iterates through all services in `docker-compose.yml` and builds each one.
#### scripts/CleanVendor.sh
Remove all cloned vendor repositories:
```bash
./scripts/CleanVendor.sh
```
⚠️ **Warning**: This permanently deletes all cloned vendor repositories. You'll need to re-clone them.
#### scripts/StatusCheck.sh
Check build status of all services:
```bash
./scripts/StatusCheck.sh
```
This script checks which Docker images exist and compares with `STATUS.md`.
