AGENTS.md1 starsChanged 4 months agoApache-2.0View on GitHub

Entry point for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and others). This project follows the spec-driven standard in spec/standards/spec_driven_standard.md. If a module is installed, honor it: - enforce/ — guard hooks may block commits that violate the invariants. Do not bypass them. - continuity/ — follow the session/changelog protocol. - swarm/ — multiple agents share one SSOT; read before you write.

  • Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.

    Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,542 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.

The file

We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    No code without a spec: Do not implement a feature until its spec exists and is approved, with an explicit Definition of Done.

    line 10
  2. Very specific:

    Every session resumes from disk: Read project state from /spec, CHANGELOG.md, and open tasks at the start of every session.

    line 11
  3. Very specific:

    Read CHANGELOG.md (most recent entries).

    line 15
  4. Very specific:

    Check open tasks / in-progress specs under spec/features/.

    line 16
  5. Very specific:

    Read the relevant spec/ files before writing any code.

    line 17
  6. Distinctive:

    If a module is installed, honor it:

    line 27

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md

Entry point for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and others). This project follows the spec-driven standard in spec/standards/spec_driven_standard.md.

The three invariants (never violate)

  1. Spec is authoritative, code is derivative. The spec in /spec is the source of truth. If code and spec disagree, the spec wins — fix the spec first, then the code.
  2. No code without a spec. Do not implement a feature until its spec exists and is approved, with an explicit Definition of Done.
  3. Every session resumes from disk. Read project state from /spec, CHANGELOG.md, and open tasks at the start of every session. Do not rely on memory of a previous run.

Start of session

  1. Read CHANGELOG.md (most recent entries).
  2. Check open tasks / in-progress specs under spec/features/.
  3. Read the relevant spec/ files before writing any code.

Working a feature

  1. spec/features/<slug>/spec.yaml must exist and be approved before implementation.
  2. Implement to the spec, test-first, until the Definition of Done is met.
  3. Record what changed at the top of CHANGELOG.md.

Modules

If a module is installed, honor it:

  • enforce/ — guard hooks may block commits that violate the invariants. Do not bypass them.
  • continuity/ — follow the session/changelog protocol.
  • swarm/ — multiple agents share one SSOT; read before you write.

Claude Code users: see CLAUDE.md for the Claude-specific entry point. This file (AGENTS.md) is the agent-agnostic equivalent and is kept in sync.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
