# AGENTS.md Templates
|
|
|
|
## Key Principles
|
|
|
|
- Concise: dense, human-readable content; one line per concept when possible.
|
|
- Actionable: commands should be copy-paste ready.
|
|
- Project-specific: document patterns unique to this repo.
|
|
- Current: reflect the actual codebase and active tooling.
|
|
- Scoped: put broad rules at the repo root; put narrow rules in nested `AGENTS.md` or `AGENTS.override.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Recommended Sections

<One-line description>
|
|
|
|

|
## Comprehensive Project Root Template
|
|
|
|

## Nested Override Template

Use this for a subdirectory whose rules differ from the repo root.

# <Directory> Instructions

|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
- Applies to `<path>/`.
|
|
|
|
## Local Rules
|
|
|
|
- <specific rule that differs from root guidance>
|
|
|
|
## Verification
|
|
|
|
- `<command>` - <focused check for this directory>
|
|
```
