  Provider-authored, saved verbatim — not generated by API Evangelist. Elk publishes an
  AGENTS.md at the root of its own repository giving AI coding agents instructions for
  working in the codebase. SCOPE MATTERS AND IS RECORDED HONESTLY: this is a
  contributor-facing skill (build commands, architecture, test gates, and a hard rule
  that agents must never add the DCO sign-off because it certifies a human's review),
  NOT an API-calling skill. No API-flow skills were generated, because Elk publishes no
  OpenAPI to ground operationIds in and the pipeline forbids inventing them.
