agents.md

This file provides agents with guidance when working in this project.

Code Style Guidelines

• Use type hints frequently
• Use modern `dict` `list` instead of `Dict` `List`
• Use descriptive variable names
• Use checks when accessing dictionary keys or doing actions that may fail
• Break out exception handlers into specific exceptions when relevant
• Document complex functions with docstrings

Workflow

```

• Work like a scientist. Think step by step and seek evidence before declaring success
• Be clear and concise in your writing, without flowery language
• Create a PLAN.md file to plan and track your work
• Example
