The agents instructions file needs to be hierarchical; It's a pain managing multiple agents.md files with a lot of duplication between them for different projects, even in a mono-repo. we probably need a tool for this.

In any case, I increasingly question the use of an agents file. What's the point, then the agent forget about them every few prompt, and need to be constantly reminded to go through the file again and again?

Another thought: are folks committing their AGENTS.md? If so, do you feel comfortable with the world knowing that a project was built with the help of AI? If not, how do you durably persist the file?

Agree on the need for hierarchical agents.md. I thought that was kind of standard and I am surprised that this proposal doesn’t support that.

I would be deal-breakingly concerned if I thought someone was actively trying to hide the fact from me.
