It's good that this is deduplicated. Documentation for agents should be useful for devs also 👍
The exact file list feels like it will get outdated quickly though.
Other than that we can merge this.

I feel like this list will get outdated very quickly, just pointing people towards "for more details see the docs/development" should be good enough IMO.

Oh yeah that would work too. We're not really clicking on links here anyway, if we're reading this from an IDE or terminal.
