FAQPage Schema
How do I create hierarchical AGENTS.md documentation across a monorepo?

Hierarchical AGENTS.md documentation is automated by generating per-directory files with root and parent references, creating a navigable hierarchy for agent governance across multi-directory projects.

What is an AGENTS.md file used for in a codebase?

An AGENTS.md file standardizes agent guidance by documenting purpose, key files, subdirectories, dependencies, testing, and working instructions to improve AI agent onboarding and navigation within a directory.

How do I validate an AGENTS.md directory hierarchy for missing or orphaned files?

Validating an AGENTS.md directory hierarchy involves checking the parent-linked structure to identify and report orphaned or missing AGENTS.md files, ensuring consistent agent governance across the codebase.

Can I update AGENTS.md files automatically without losing manual notes?

Updating AGENTS.md files automatically preserves manual notes while validating and updating the hierarchy, enabling scalable documentation maintenance across large repositories without overwriting custom guidance.

Does automated AGENTS.md scaffolding work for multi-directory projects?

Automated AGENTS.md scaffolding supports multi-directory projects by enforcing a parent-linked template and per-directory configurations, ensuring consistent agent guidance and navigation across large monorepos.
