AGENTS.md Management

When to Use

• "Create AGENTS.md for this repo."
• "Update agent documentation for this monorepo."
• "Set up hierarchical AGENTS.md files by package."
• Repository shape or tooling changed and the existing agent guidance needs a refresh.

When Not to Use

• Pure code implementation work with no documentation update.
• One-off prompts where repository guidance files are unnecessary.
• Questions about a single function or file that need no standing project guidance.
