Amp now looks in the AGENT.md
file at the root of your project for guidance on project structure, build & test steps, conventions, and avoiding common mistakes. Manual »
Amp will offer to generate this file by reading your project and other agents' files (.cursorrules
, .cursor/rules
, .windsurfrules
, .clinerules
, CLAUDE.md
, and .github/copilot-instructions.md
).
We chose AGENT.md
as a naming standard to avoid the proliferation of agent-specific files in your repositories. We hope other agents will follow this convention.
