Maintaining AGENTS.md

Goal: concise, actionable agent instructions. Target under 60 lines; never exceed 100.

Workflow

  1. Inspect before writing:
    • package manager: lock files and manifests
    • commands: package.json, Makefile, task runners, CI workflows
    • docs/specs/policies: README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/, specs/, policies/, SECURITY.md, .github/
    • conventions: current code patterns, test layout, generated files, legacy areas to avoid
  2. Choose scope:
    • root AGENTS.md: repo-wide defaults
    • nested AGENTS.md: only when a subtree has different commands or rules
    • closest instruction file wins; keep narrower files shorter than root files
  3. Write the smallest useful file.
  4. Verify exact paths and commands exist.
