**Documentation:** https://agents.md/

AGENTS.md is one of 6 APIs that [Agentic AI Foundation](https://apis.io/providers/agentic-ai-foundation/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include AGENTS.md, Coding Agents, Conventions, and Open Standard. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a GitHub repository.

AGENTS.md is a simple, universal convention that gives AI coding agents a consistent, predictable source of project-specific guidance — build commands, test commands, conventions and constraints — in one Markdown file at the root of a repository. Contributed by OpenAI and hosted by AAIF. It is a format convention rather than a callable API.
