Dev jokes about adding 'digest context when agitated' to every agents.md

nptacek quotes advice — 'context can often be misinterpreted; when agitated take an extra second to digest context and consider meanings beyond your own lens' — and jokes about adding it to all his agents.md files.
The line, originally human emotional-regulation advice, is repurposed for AI agents: LLMs also misread context and get 'agitated,' making 'calmly digest the context' a new prompt-engineering trick.
