AGENTS.md - the new standard filename across LLM code tooling providers for agent guidance
agents.mdSaved August 20, 2025
Summary
AGENTS.md is an open, standardized Markdown file used to provide coding agents with detailed, agent-specific instructions for software projects, such as setup, testing, and code style.
It is designed to keep READMEs focused on human contributors while giving agents a predictable and machine-readable location for operational guidance. The format is widely adopted, supports nested files for monorepos, and is designed for compatibility across AI coding tools and agent platforms.
Personal Notes
It seems that the main LLM coding AI inference and tooling providers have finally come together to make a standard filename for repositories. As of this writing, I've seen as many as a dozen different file names for this functionality per repo, so this was urgently needed. But notable current hold-outs include Cline Code and Claude Code, unfortunately. I'll still be adopting it and using symlinks for the rest now.
