docs: sync AIM 0.8.14 fixes (contributing folder, gh release notes, Dir row)

Pull the three instruction-file fixes released in AIM 0.8.14:
- contributing: point new modules at instruction-templates/, not instructions/
- github-cli: replace --notes with --notes-file + temp-file pattern, add
  precedence note that releases.instructions.md wins for project releases
- shorthand: backfill missing Dir -> Directory row

First two surfaced during Copilot review of this PR and filed upstream as
tablackburn/ai-agent-instruction-modules#23; third is pre-existing sync drift
in instruction-templates/ fixed in the same upstream PR.

Bump AGENTS.md to Template Version 0.8.14 and sync date 2026-05-17.

 ### Creating Releases
 
+Use `--notes-file` (write notes to a temporary file first) rather than `--notes` to avoid
+escaping issues with backticks, backslashes, and quotes. For project releases, the rules in
+`releases.instructions.md` take precedence over these examples.

 ```bash
-# Create release from tag
-gh release create v1.0.0 --title "Version 1.0.0" --notes "Release notes"
+# Create release from tag (write notes to a file first to avoid escaping issues)
+printf '## Highlights\n\n- Your release notes here\n' > release-notes.md
+gh release create v1.0.0 --title "Version 1.0.0" --notes-file release-notes.md
+rm release-notes.md
 
 # Create release with auto-generated notes
