AGENTS.md
AGENTS.md is an open standard file format that provides context and instructions to AI coding agents working on software projects. Like a README for agents, an AGENTS.md file lives in the project repository and tells AI agents how to build, test, and contribute code — including coding standards, build commands, testing procedures, and development conventions. Supported by over 60,000 open-source projects and major platforms including OpenAI Codex, Google Jules, Cursor, Devin, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, and goose. Stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation.
