AGENTS.md as an entry point

Publication date: 2025-08-21

I spent a long time thinking about which file should be the entry point for agents in my projects. I settled on AGENTS.md. It turned out to be not just a convenient name, but an established format supported by many tools and used in thousands of repositories.

Essentially, it's a README for agents: a dedicated place for recording commands, rules, and specifications. This approach eases documentation for people and gives agents a predictable foundation. In ADSM, this is especially important—the context can be carried over from project to project and remain clear.
