What every good AGENTS.md contains
- A title and one-line description of the project.
- Real setup commands — install, dev, test — for your package manager.
- Code-style conventions the agent should follow.
- Project structure, so files land in the right place.
- Guardrails: the explicit “never do this” rules agents get wrong.

Rather than adapting an example by hand, paste your manifest into the generator — it detects your stack and fills in your real scripts and guardrails in about thirty seconds.
Frequently asked
What does a minimal AGENTS.md look like?
A title, a one-line description, a Setup section with install/dev/test commands, and a short Guardrails list. The generator produces this and more.
How long should it be?
Long enough to cover setup, style and guardrails — usually well under a page. Detailed beats lengthy.
