AtomicBot-ai/atomic-agent/AGENTS.md

This is the repository-wide contract. Detailed implementation documents are read only for the task at hand. User working agreements still apply. Before editing, read the local AGENTS.md for each touched area and for both sides of an interface change. Read its README, then only the linked mechanism documents relevant to the task. Do not assume every client loads nested instructions from the root automatically. Code and tests establish shipped behavior; archive/proposal documents do not override it. Other area entry points…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

Agent instruction files

What are agent instruction files?

Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.

CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?

CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.

What is a skill?

A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.

Can I search my own team's files too?

Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
