FAQPage Schema
What is project memory and context management in Codex?▼

Project memory and context management in Codex uses AGENTS.md files to store project-level and subfolder-level guidance, ensuring the system retains necessary structural context to work effectively on new tasks.

How do I set up AGENTS.md files for new project onboarding?▼

To set up AGENTS.md files for new project onboarding, create a root AGENTS.md file for project-level context, then add subfolder-specific AGENTS.md files to provide focused guidance for distinct project areas.

Do I need to know the Codex project structure to use AGENTS.md?▼

Yes, using AGENTS.md requires existing knowledge of the Codex project structure and file creation, as the system relies on accurate project maps to direct Codex to relevant sources of truth.

What is the best way to create lean project maps for Codex PMs?▼

The best way to create lean project maps for Codex PMs is to build concise, durable AGENTS.md files that direct Codex to relevant sources of truth, avoiding bloated context while maintaining accurate guidance.

When should I create subfolder-level AGENTS.md files instead of a root file?▼

You should create subfolder-level AGENTS.md files when you need focused guidance for specific areas, whereas a root file is better for establishing general project memory and broad project-level context.
