Project Summary

AGENTS.md provides a standardized format for instructing AI coding agents, akin to a README for automated development tasks. It aims to simplify agent interaction by offering a predictable structure for context and commands, benefiting developers who leverage AI for coding assistance.

How It Works

AGENTS.md uses a Markdown-based structure to define project-specific guidance. This includes development environment tips, testing instructions, and pull request guidelines. The format allows for clear, actionable commands and explanations, enabling agents to navigate and contribute to a project more effectively.

Quick Start & Requirements

To run the accompanying Next.js website locally:

  1. Install dependencies: npm install
  2. Start the development server: npm run dev The website will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.

  • Provides specific commands for package management (e.g., pnpm dlx turbo run, pnpm install --filter <project_name>).
  • Details testing procedures, including running specific test suites with Vitest patterns (pnpm vitest run -t "<test name>").
  • Includes instructions for linting and ensuring code quality (pnpm lint --filter <project_name>).
  • Specifies a pull request title format and emphasizes running tests before committing.

Maintenance & Community

The repository includes a Next.js website hosted at https://agents.md/ which elaborates on the project's goals and provides examples.
