Current evaluation

Enhancement request to add AGENTS.md (agentic coding instructions) to charmcraft init templates. Labeled Needs information; maintainer asked the author for a concrete example in Jan 2026, no response for over 6 months; no template changes made.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue carries the 'Status: Needs information' label, and on 2026-01-16 dimaqq asked the author to supply a charm with a good AGENTS.md to copy and trim down; the author has not responded in over 6 months (last activity 227 days ago), and grep confirms no AGENTS.md was ever added to charmcraft/templates. A maintainer request for details unanswered beyond 6 months justifies closing, and the author can reopen or file a PR if still interested.

Impact: 25 Quick Win: 16.25 Staleness: 72 Complexity: 35 Confidence: 78 Support Request: 5
