blinkagent[bot] 4b3045e637 docs: clarify that READMEs should not include input/output variable tables (#787)
The registry auto-generates input/output documentation from
`variables.tf` and `outputs.tf`, so including these tables in
module/template READMEs is redundant and prone to drift.

This adds two bullets to the **Code Style** section of `AGENTS.md`:

- Do not include input/output variable tables in READMEs
- Usage examples (e.g., `module "..." { }` blocks) are still encouraged

# AGENTS.md
Coder Registry: Terraform modules/templates for Coder workspaces under `registry/[namespace]/modules/` and `registry/[namespace]/templates/`.
## Commands
```bash
bun run fmt # Format code (Prettier + Terraform) - run before commits
bun run tftest # Run all Terraform tests
bun run tstest # Run all TypeScript tests
terraform init -upgrade && terraform test -verbose # Test single module (run from module dir)
bun test main.test.ts # Run single TS test (from module dir)
./scripts/terraform_validate.sh # Validate Terraform syntax
./scripts/new_module.sh ns/name # Create new module scaffold
.github/scripts/version-bump.sh patch | minor | major # Bump module version after changes
```
## Structure
- **Modules**: `registry/[ns]/modules/[name]/` with `main.tf`, `README.md` (YAML frontmatter), `.tftest.hcl` (required)
- **Templates**: `registry/[ns]/templates/[name]/` with `main.tf`, `README.md`
- **Validation**: `cmd/readmevalidation/` (Go) validates structure/frontmatter; URLs must be relative, not absolute
## Code Style
- Every module MUST have `.tftest.hcl` tests; optional `main.test.ts` for container/script tests
- README frontmatter: `display_name`, `description`, `icon`, `verified: false`, `tags`
- Use semantic versioning; bump version via script when modifying modules
- Docker tests require Linux or Colima/OrbStack (not Docker Desktop)
- Use `tf` (not `hcl`) for code blocks in README; use relative icon paths (e.g., `../../../../.icons/`)
- **Do NOT include input/output variable tables in module or template READMEs.** The registry automatically generates these from the Terraform source (e.g., variable and output blocks in `main.tf`). Adding them to the README is redundant and creates maintenance drift.
- Usage examples (e.g., a `module "..." { }` block) are encouraged, but not tables enumerating inputs/outputs.
## PR Review Checklist
- Version bumped via `.github/scripts/version-bump.sh` if module changed (patch=bugfix, minor=feature, major=breaking)
- Breaking changes documented: removed inputs, changed defaults, new required variables
- New variables have sensible defaults to maintain backward compatibility
- Tests pass (`bun run tftest`, `bun run tstest`); add diagnostic logging for test failures
- README examples updated with new version number; tooltip/behavior changes noted
- Shell scripts handle errors gracefully (use `|| echo "Warning..."` for non-fatal failures)
- No hardcoded values that should be configurable; no absolute URLs (use relative paths)
- If AI-assisted: include model and tool/agent name at footer of PR body (e.g., "Generated with [Amp](thread-url) using Claude")
