What is I built an AI teammate that takes clear Jira tickets, turns them into PRs, and learns from our feedback?

AGENTS.md is a simple, open format designed to guide AI coding agents, acting as a README specifically for AI. It provides a predictable place to give agents the context and instructions they need, such as setup commands, code style guidelines, and testing instructions. This approach complements traditional README.md files, which are primarily for human contributors, by offering detailed, agent-focused guidance that might otherwise clutter human-centric documentation. The format supports nested AGENTS.md files for monorepos, allowing tailored instructions for subprojects. It is stewarded by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation and is compatible with a growing ecosystem of AI coding agents.
