Making open-source libraries easier for AI agents to use

Original: Give agents files they actually read, put documentation where the agent already is: your types, make the API self-explan

A new guide argues that open-source library maintainers should design their documentation for AI coding agents, not just human developers. The advice: put documentation directly into type definitions, make APIs self-explanatory, and structure files so agents actually read and trust them when integrating code.

Why now: Growing developer interest in optimizing software projects for AI agents that write and integrate code.
