CodeWhale reads AGENTS.md from project root per its CONFIGURATION.md — ponytail already works with no adapter file needed. Added dedicated install section, agent count bump (13→14), and portability table row. Also adds Zed to the grouped instruction-only adapter list (same mechanism: reads AGENTS.md natively).

Adds CodeWhale to the supported-agents list. CodeWhale (the rebranded DeepSeek-TUI, 38k★, Rust) reads
AGENTS.mdfrom the project root natively — ponytail works with zero adapter file.What changes
13 → 14, a### CodeWhaleinstall section, and CodeWhale added to the instruction-only adapter list.docs/agent-portability.md: one table row for CodeWhale.Docs-only. No code.
Why it's accurate
CodeWhale's own
docs/CONFIGURATION.md: "AGENTS.md— cross-agent project instructions … the canonical file …CLAUDE.mdand.claude/instructions.mdare read as compatibility fallbacks." Loader:crates/tui/src/project_context.rs::load_project_contextreadsAGENTS.mdfrom the workspace root andas_system_block()wraps it as<project_instructions>for the system prompt.I dropped an earlier "
~/.codewhale/AGENTS.mdfor global use" line: the installed binary (v0.8.61) still resolves the global path to~/.deepseek/AGENTS.md(rename incomplete), so that claim was wrong. Only the verified project-root path is documented.Test verification (RED → GREEN)
Installed CodeWhale
0.8.61(npm i -g codewhale) and added a test to CodeWhale's own loader that drops ponytail's realAGENTS.mdinto a workspace root and asserts CodeWhale ingests it into the<project_instructions>block.The test (in
crates/tui/src/project_context.rs):GREEN — overlay written as
AGENTS.md, CodeWhale discovers it natively:RED — same test, overlay written as
NOPE.md(a filename CodeWhale does not read) → native discovery misses it:RED proves the green isn't a tautology — it's specifically the
AGENTS.mdfilename CodeWhale keys on. Flipping the name back toAGENTS.mdreturns to GREEN.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
