Create high‑quality AGENTS.md file

You are a code agent. Your task is to create a complete, accurate AGENTS.md at the root of this repository that follows the public guidance at https://agents.md/.

AGENTS.md is an open format designed to provide coding agents with the context and instructions they need to work effectively on a project.

What is AGENTS.md?

AGENTS.md is a Markdown file that serves as a "README for agents" - a dedicated, predictable place to provide context and instructions to help AI coding agents work on your project. It complements README.md by containing detailed technical context that coding agents need but might clutter a human-focused README.

Key Principles

• Agent-focused: Contains detailed technical instructions for automated tools
• Complements README.md: Doesn't replace human documentation but adds agent-specific context
• Standardized location: Placed at repository root (or subproject roots for monorepos)
• Open format: Uses standard Markdown with flexible structure
• Ecosystem compatibility: Works across 20+ different AI coding tools and agents

File Structure and Content Guidelines

1. Required Setup

• Create the file as AGENTS.md in the repository root
• Use standard Markdown formatting
• No required fields - flexible structure based on project needs

2. Essential Sections to Include

Project Overview

• Brief description of what the project does
• Architecture overview if complex
• Key technologies and frameworks used

Setup Commands

• Installation instructions
• Environment setup steps
• Dependency management commands
• Database setup if applicable

Development Workflow

• How to start development server
• Build commands
• Watch/hot-reload setup
• Package manager specifics (npm, pnpm, yarn, etc.)

Testing Instructions

• How to run tests (unit, integration, e2e)
• Test file locations and naming conventions
• Coverage requirements
• Specific test patterns or frameworks used
• How to run subset of tests or focus on specific areas

Code Style Guidelines

• Language-specific conventions
• Linting and formatting rules
• File organization patterns
• Naming conventions
• Import/export patterns

Build and Deployment

• Build commands and outputs
• Environment configurations
• Deployment steps and requirements
• CI/CD pipeline information

3. Optional but Recommended Sections

Security Considerations

• Security testing requirements
• Secrets management
• Authentication patterns
• Permission models

Monorepo Instructions (if applicable)

• How to work with multiple packages
• Cross-package dependencies
• Selective building/testing
• Package-specific commands

Pull Request Guidelines

• Title format requirements
• Required checks before submission
• Review process
• Commit message conventions

Debugging and Troubleshooting

• Common issues and solutions
• Logging patterns
• Debug configuration
• Performance considerations
