Creates, audits and maintains the AGENTS.md a repository owes its coding agents, following the agents.md convention (https://agents.md/). Decides root-only versus nested AGENTS.md files from the repo's real shape, interviews the tree (not the user) for build/test/lint commands, and writes only what an agent cannot deduce from the code. Audits a set that already exists: a rule the code states, a child repeating its parent, a command that no longer runs, a zone with no route in. Also the…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AGENTS.md for this repository, sized to its shape `AGENTS.md` is the file coding agents read before working in a repo (https://agents.md/ and https://github.com/agentsmd/agents.md). It is instructions for the agent, in the open, owned by the team. ai-engineering governs the format; your repo owns the content. ## One file or many The default is ONE `AGENTS.md` at the repository root: most agents read the nearest file up the tree, so a single root file covers every package. Add nested files only when a subproject genuinely needs different instructions — monorepos where packages have different toolchains, test runners, or review rules. The test is mechanical: - One toolchain, one test command repo-wide → root only. - Two or more packages with different commands, lint rules, or conventions → one root file with what is shared, one nested file per divergent package with what differs. - A nested file must not repeat its parents: repetition drifts. State only the delta. Say the decision out loud when you write the file: "single root AGENTS.md" or "root + N nested, one per package that diverges". ## What goes in (and what never does) …

How to install
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-agents-md@sha256:f0573309a3bec1beThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.4338d92, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
