An AGENTS.md file is an instruction set for coding agents that specifies what to do, constraints to follow, and step-by-step procedures. It is used to enforce consistent automation guidelines, mandatory rules, and checklists across packages and modules.

Write prescriptive guidelines by using a templated AGENTS.md structure that includes mandatory MUST rules, cross-references, and a tone-check framework. This ensures the documentation tells agents exactly what to do and what to reuse rather than just describing the system.

Generate a ready-to-publish AGENTS.md template by applying a standardized file structure, mandatory rules, and checklists. This enforces a consistent, action-oriented tone across new packages, modules, or refactored existing files.

Descriptive documentation explains how a system works, whereas agent-facing instructions prescribe exact actions. AGENTS.md files must tell agents what to DO, what to REUSE, and what rules to FOLLOW using a strict prescriptive tone and MUST rules.

You should refactor an existing AGENTS.md file when it lacks a prescriptive tone, consistent structure, or mandatory MUST rules. Applying a tone-check framework and standardized template ensures the file enforces strict agent-facing instructions.

Yes, AGENTS.md files enforce consistent coding standards by providing mandatory rules, cross-references, and checklists. This standardizes agent automation tasks and ensures all modules follow the same prescriptive instructions.
