The idea is that AGENTS.md acts as a “README for agents”: a predictable, structured place where humans can put instructions, conventions, build/test commands, environment setup, and other guidance that generative agents (e.g. code-writing, code-assisting tools) should consult when operating in the repo. Instead of putting everything in README or doc files (which are more human-oriented and might mix high-level narrative), AGENTS.md is intended to surface agent-relevant details that help them “do the right thing” (tests, style, project structure, tooling).
