AGENTS.md – Open format for guiding coding agents
AGENTS.md is a simple, open format for guiding coding agents. Think of it as a README for agents.
Add sections that help an agent work effectively with your project. Commit messages or pull request guidelines, security gotchas, large datasets, deployment steps: anything you’d tell a new teammate belongs here too. Agents automatically read the nearest file in the directory tree, so the closest one takes precedence and every subproject can ship tailored instructions.
