# Maintaining AGENTS.md AGENTS.md is the canonical agent-facing documentation. Keep it minimal—agents are capable and don't need hand-holding. Target under 60 lines; never exceed 100. Instruction-following quality degrades as document length increases. ## When to Use - The user asks to create, update, or audit `AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`. - The project needs concise, high-signal agent instructions derived from the actual toolchain and repo layout. - Existing agent documentation is too long, duplicated, or drifting away from real project conventions. ## File Setup 1. Create `AGENTS.md` at project root 2. Create symlink: `ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md` ## Before Writing Analyze the project to understand what belongs in the file: 1. **Package manager** — Check for lock files (`pnpm-lock.yaml`, `yarn.lock`, `package-lock.json`, `uv.lock`, `poetry.lock`) 2. **Linter/formatter configs** — Look for `.eslintrc`, `biome.json`, `ruff.toml`, `.prettierrc`, etc. (don't duplicate these in AGENTS.md) 3. **CI/build commands** — Check `Makefile`, `package.json` scripts, CI configs for canonical commands 4. **Monorepo indicators** — Check for `pnpm-workspace.yaml`, `nx.json`, Cargo workspace, or subdirectory `package.json` files 5. **Existing conventions** — Check for existing CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/, or README patterns ## Writing Rules - **Headers + bullets** — No paragraphs - **Code blocks** — For commands and templates - **Reference, don't embed** — Point to existing docs: "See `CONTRIB...
