Description

Summary

Add support for AGENTS.md files to provide project-specific context and instructions to the AI agent.

Motivation

AGENTS.md is an emerging standard that helps AI coding agents understand and work effectively with a project codebase. Similar to how README.md serves developers, AGENTS.md provides:

  • Clear context about the project purpose and architecture
  • Precise instructions for build processes, testing, and code conventions
  • Project-specific rules and guidelines for code generation
  • Security considerations and sensitive information handling

This will reduce back-and-forth clarification rounds, ensure consistent output following project conventions, save token usage, and help new contributors onboard faster.

Proposed Solution

  • Detect and parse AGENTS.md files in project root or CONFIG_DIR
  • Include AGENTS.md content as context in agent conversations

Acceptance Criteria

  • AGENTS.md file detection implemented
  • Content is properly included in agent context
  • Support for both root-level and CONFIG_DIR/AGENTS.md
