Hello

With the advent of coding agent (Claude Code, Copilot), I often update in-project prompts, skills, constitution. I use the build or chore types but it is not exactly the same role. For me:

build: relates to the toolchain that transform the source code into deliverables
ci: relates to how this toolchain is adapted in CI + extra CI stuff
chore: relates to maintainance stuff.

ai is too short and conotted, i like agent, it is generic enough.

Examples:

agent: refine progressive disclosure ordering in AGENTS.md
agent(memory): split memory bank into thematic blocks
agent(prompts): rewrite python coding guidelines for haiku models
