GitHub agent markdown files require YAML front matter with name and description fields to be recognized by the platform.

Changes

Added YAML metadata blocks to all three agent configuration files:

  • .github/agents/documentation-writer.md
  • .github/agents/project-maintainer.md
  • .github/agents/software-quality-enforcer.md

Each file now includes:

---
name: Agent Name
description: Brief description of agent responsibilities
---

This enables proper discovery and display of the agents in GitHub's interface.
