# Root `AGENTS.md` Template Use this structure for the `AGENTS.md` at the root of the current Git working tree. ## Recommended Shape ```md # Root Entry - State that this file is the primary routing entrypoint for the repository's agentic documentation tree. - Define the default path basis. # Common Constraints - Keep repository-wide rules here. - Do not repeat topic-specific rules that belong in child docs. # Required Instructions Before Editing - Route to the required child instruction docs. - Use explicit "Read and follow ..." wording. ``` ## Notes - Keep this file short. - Treat this file as an instruction document, not a passive index. - Route to child docs only when they are actually needed. - Do not turn the root file into a dump of all topic-specific rules.
