Summary

  • README's Use with Claude Code (MCP) section now states explicitly that cli-bridge is the recommended path for agentic use, with the underlying reason — and links to cli-bridge's "The problem" section instead of restating it.
  • Disambiguates the install.sh path (auto-generates the cli-bridge spec when Claude Code is detected — skip step 3) from the manual path.
  • Mentions cli-bridge's auto-refresh on startup so users understand the spec stays in sync after gosymdb binary upgrades — no re-registration needed.
  • Adds AGENTS.md with a factual description of what gosymdb is, how the database is found, the freshness loop, MCP integration via cli-bridge, known limitations, and related tools in the family. Descriptive register throughout (no imperatives directed at agents).

Why

The previous README presented cli-bridge as one of several options. In practice it is the path for agentic use — agents that only see gosymdb mentioned in CLAUDE.md quietly fall back to grep once the conversation gets long. Saying so explicitly (with the reason) helps both human readers picking a setup and agents reading the file later.

Test plan

  • go test ./... — green
  • Manual: gosymdb cli-bridge-manifest still emits valid spec JSON (unchanged)
  • Smoke test in a fresh Claude Code session after merge: gosymdb_* MCP tools appear in the registry

README:
- The MCP section now states explicitly that cli-bridge is the
  recommended path for agentic use, with the underlying reason
  (CLAUDE.md mentions decay under context pressure; MCP tools
  don't). Links to cli-bridge's "The problem" section for the
  full background instead of restating it.
- Disambiguates the install.sh path (auto-generates spec, skip
  step 3) from the manual path.
- Mentions cli-bridge's auto-refresh so users understand spec
  stays in sync after binary upgrades without re-registering.

AGENTS.md (new): factual description of what gosymdb is, how the
database is found, the freshness loop, the MCP integration via
cli-bridge, known limitations, and related tools in the family
(cli-bridge, cairn). Descriptive register — describes capabilities
rather than directing agent behavior.
