 # SYNOPSIS
-#   _agents_init_ensure_gitignore <root> <pattern>
+#   _agents_init_ensure_gitignore <root> <label> <pattern>...
 #
 # DESCRIPTION
-#   Appends <pattern> to <root>/.gitignore if the path it describes is not
-#   already covered by any existing ignore rule. Uses `git check-ignore` for
-#   accurate rule matching (catches wildcards and parent-dir globs). Falls
-#   back to a plain string search when the root is not a git repository.
+#   Appends any patterns not already covered by the project's .gitignore.
+#   Uses `git check-ignore` for accurate rule matching (catches wildcards
+#   and parent-dir globs). Falls back to a plain string search when the
+#   root is not a git repository. Leading `/` is stripped from each pattern
+#   before the path-based check so root-anchored patterns (e.g. /AGENTS.md)
+#   are matched correctly.
+#
+#   Missing patterns are written as a single labeled block:
+#
+#     #   ──────────────── Added by agents-init ──────────────────
+#     #   <label>
+#     <pattern>
+#     #   ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 #
 # ARGUMENTS
-#   root     Absolute path to the project root containing .gitignore
-#   pattern  Path pattern to ensure is ignored (e.g. "AGENTS/", "CLAUDE.md")
+#   root      Absolute path to the project root containing .gitignore
+#   label     Short description used in the block comment header
+#   pattern   One or more gitignore patterns to ensure are present
 #
 # RETURNS
-#   0  Pattern already ignored or successfully appended
+#   0  All patterns already ignored or successfully appended
 #   1  Could not write to .gitignore
 #
 # EXAMPLE
-#   _agents_init_ensure_gitignore /home/user/myproject "AGENTS/"
+#   _agents_init_ensure_gitignore /home/user/myproject "agents-init" "AGENTS/" "/AGENTS.md"
