AGENT.md

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.
