+
+Base rules for AI coding agents (and developers) working in the
+`QuasarApp/OpenSimplex2` repository.
+
+OpenSimplex2 is a C (C99+) implementation of the OpenSimplex2F noise
+(2D/3D/4D). This is the QuasarApp community fork of
+[KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2](https://github.com/KdotJPG/OpenSimplex2): it keeps
+only the C implementation and ships GLSL/HLSL ports.
+License: LGPL-3.0 (`LICENSE`).
+
+**Maintainer:** EndrII (Yankovich Andrei), QuasarApp Group DOO.
+
+## Project architecture
+
+- The noise library is a single C translation unit at the repository root:
+  `OpenSimplex2F.c` + `OpenSimplex2F.h`. Context based API: create with
+  `OpenSimplex2F(seed, &ctx)`, query with `OpenSimplex2F_noise2/3/4...`
+  (`double` in `[-1, 1]`), release with `OpenSimplex2F_free(ctx)` /
+  `OpenSimplex2F_shutdown()`.
+- The root `CMakeLists.txt` creates two targets: `OpenSimplex2Interface`
+  (the public INTERFACE target consumers link against) and
+  `OpenSimplex2InterfaceC` (the static library from `OpenSimplex2F.c`).
+- `submodule/CMake` (git submodule, [QuasarApp/CMake](https://github.com/QuasarApp/CMake))
+  is the QuasarApp CMake layer: default build type `Release`, ccache, and
+  the `test` target (`initTests`/`addTests` in `tests/CMakeLists.txt`).
+  The `test` target deploys the test executable with `cqtdeployer` and then
+  runs it, so **`cqtdeployer` must be on `PATH`** to run
+  `cmake --build build --target test`.
+- `tests/test_OpenSimplex2F.c` builds the `OpenSimplex2tests` executable
+  (requires libpng) and writes 512x512 `test2d.png`/`test3d.png`/`test4d.png`.
+- `glsl/` and `hlsl/` are standalone shader ports (OpenSimplex2F +
+  OpenSimplex2S), not part of the C build.
+- Documentation site: MkDocs + Doxygen (`mkdocs.yml`, `doxygen.conf.in`,
+  `res/`), deployed to GitHub Pages on pushes to `main`
+  (`.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml`). The root `README.md` is the single
+  source of truth for the site home page.

+
+## Contribution process
+
+Work is issue-driven: one GitHub issue → one pull request.
+
+1. Branch `task_<issue>`, created **strictly from `main`**:
+   `git checkout -b task_<issue> origin/main`.
+2. Issue labels: `in progress` while working → `waiting-for-review` when the
+   PR is ready.
+3. Checklist comment on the issue: post it once and update **that same
+   comment in place**
+   (`gh issue comment <issue> --edit-last --body-file /tmp/checklist.md`).
+4. Commits: short imperative subject + issue reference, e.g.
+   `docs: add AGENTS.md (issue #32)`.
+5. PR via `gh pr create --base main --head task_<issue>`; the title carries
+   the issue reference, the body lists what changed and the verification
+   actually performed (commands + real output).
+6. CI must be green: `ci.yml` builds with CMake + Ninja and runs the `test`
+   target on Linux and Windows for every PR.
+
+Rules: C-only (other languages only as thin wrappers around the C API via
+PR); do not re-introduce the removed implementations (Rust, C#, Java, C++);
+new tests ship **with** the code they pin; user-visible changes go into
+`CHANGELOG.md`; keep the LGPL-3.0 headers.
+
+## Building
+
+Prerequisites: CMake ≥ 3.19; GCC or Clang (on Windows a MinGW toolchain —
+the test source uses the GCC-only `__attribute__((unused))`); Ninja
+(recommended); libpng development headers (the tests); `cqtdeployer` on
+`PATH` (the `test` target).
+
+```sh
+git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/QuasarApp/OpenSimplex2.git
+cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+cmake --build build --parallel 4
+cmake --build build --target test   # deploys with cqtdeployer, runs OpenSimplex2tests
+```
+
+Options: `OPENSIMPLEX2_TESTS` (default `ON`), `CCACHE_ENABLED` (default `ON`).
+
+Manual build without CMake: `make` (needs libpng) or
+`cc -Wall -Wextra --pedantic -O3 -c OpenSimplex2F.c`.
+
+Consumer side:
+
+```cmake
+add_subdirectory(third_party/OpenSimplex2)
+target_link_libraries(consumer PRIVATE OpenSimplex2Interface)
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+- CMake: `cmake --build build --target test` (deploy + run, needs
+  `cqtdeployer`).
+- Directly: `./build/tests/OpenSimplex2tests` (plain build) or
+  `./Testing/OpenSimplex2/Application/bin/OpenSimplex2tests` (deployed by the
+  `test` target).
+- Makefile: `make && ./test_OpenSimplex2F`.
