Problem

AGENTS.md told agents to keep PR bodies, logs, and notes in a gitignored .scratch/, following Quest's start skill. kixelated/quest#31 removes that from Quest. In practice agents only used it for PR bodies, and gh can read those from stdin.

Resulting behavior

  • AGENTS.md now says to pass PR bodies to gh on stdin (--body-file -). It keeps the rule against writing to directories other agents share.
  • Removed the /.scratch/ ignore entry. Nothing tracked in the repo writes there.

Validation

git grep scratch finds no other .scratch/ references. The change only touches docs and .gitignore.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Agents only used `.scratch/` for PR bodies, which `gh` can read from
stdin. Keep the rule against writing to shared directories, and remove
the ignore entry whose comment pointed at Quest's start skill.
