## Summary
This README documents how to integrate The Agency agents with Aider. It explains that the project's CONVENTIONS.md consolidates the roster, shows install/activate commands, notes manual usage with `aider --read CONVENTIONS.md`, and how to regenerate artifacts via `./scripts/convert.sh --tool aider`.

## Key Claims
- The Agency roster can be consolidated into a single `CONVENTIONS.md` file which Aider reads automatically when present.
- Installation uses the repository's `./scripts/install.sh --tool aider` script run from the project root.
- Agents can be referenced by name inside an Aider session to activate behavior (e.g., "Use the Frontend Developer agent...").
- Manual reading of the conventions file is supported via `aider --read CONVENTIONS.md`.
- Generated artifacts for Aider can be produced with `./scripts/convert.sh --tool aider`.
