Start Agents
Read AGENTS.md from the project root and apply its instructions as active context for this session.
Step 1: Locate AGENTS.md
Check the project root for AGENTS.md:
<project-root>/AGENTS.md
If not found, check parent directories up to the repo root. If still not found, inform the user that no AGENTS.md was found and stop.
Step 2: Read the file
Use the Read tool to load the full contents of AGENTS.md.
Step 3: Apply the instructions
Parse and internalize all instructions in AGENTS.md as if they had been written in CLAUDE.md. This includes:
- Coding conventions and style rules
- Tool usage preferences
- Workflow instructions
- Any agent-specific behavior overrides
Treat the content with the same authority as CLAUDE.md — it governs how you should behave for the remainder of this session.
Step 4: Confirm
Report to the user:
- The path of the
AGENTS.md file that was loaded
- A brief summary (3–5 bullet points) of the key instructions it contains
Do not repeat the full file — just the salient points so the user can verify the right file was loaded and the right instructions are active.
