Frequently asked questions
About the generator and the convention
+What is an AGENTS.md file?
AGENTS.md is a convention for instructing AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and others). The file sits at the root of your repository and tells every agent how your project is built, tested and styled — so you stop repeating the same instructions in every chat.
+Is AGENTS.md an official standard?
It is an open convention documented at agents.md and adopted by most major AI coding tools. There is no standards body, but the format is a plain Markdown file, which is why one file works across many different agents.
+Where do I put the generated file?
Save it as AGENTS.md at the root of your repository. Nested AGENTS.md files in subdirectories are also supported by some tools — the closest file to the code you are editing wins.
+Is my project information uploaded anywhere?
No. The generator runs entirely in your browser. Your project name, description and rules never leave your machine — there is no server, no account and no telemetry.
+What is the difference between the role presets?
Each preset ships domain-specific rules collected from real projects: a SaaS preset cares about billing safety and PII, a game preset cares about deterministic logic and lazy loading, a docs preset cares about canonical URLs and layout shift. Pick the closest one, then edit the output freely.
+Can I edit the generated file afterwards?
Absolutely — and you should. The generated file is a strong starting point, not a contract. Delete rules that do not fit, add the ones your team argues about, and keep it under a couple of hundred lines so agents actually read it.
+Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up, no watermark, no usage limits. The tool is a single static page, so it costs us nothing to run for you.
+Does it work for monorepos?
Yes. Put the generated file at the root for repo-wide rules, and add smaller AGENTS.md files in package or app directories for local rules. Tools that support nesting use the closest file to the file being edited.
+Can I generate files in languages other than English?
Set the “working language” field in the form — the generated rules will tell agents to write code, comments, commits and docs in that language. The instruction text itself stays in English because agents read it best in English.
+Why is there no “download all formats” or team sharing?
On purpose. This is a static page: no accounts, no database, no server-side anything. The file you generate is yours to commit — your repository is the sharing mechanism.
