AGENTS.md

IDagent_instructions
CategoryConfiguration
FeaturesNone
DependenciesNone

Reads project instruction files from the session workspace and injects their content into the system prompt. By default it reads AGENTS.md. Configure files when an agent should also read another file such as CLAUDE.md.

Tools

Section titled “Tools”

None — this capability only contributes to the system prompt.

How It Works

Section titled “How It Works”
  1. Agent sends a message
  2. Before processing, the system reads configured files from the session filesystem
  3. Each file is wrapped in <agent-instructions source="..."> XML tags
  4. Injected at the beginning of the system prompt (before other capability prompts)

Config

Section titled “Config”
{
  "files": ["AGENTS.md", "CLAUDE.md"]
}

files is optional. When omitted, Everruns reads only /workspace/AGENTS.md.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • Default file path: /workspace/AGENTS.md (plain Markdown, max 32 KiB per file)
  • Re-read every turn — edits take effect immediately
  • Missing configured files are ignored (no error)
  • Works with File System tools to update instructions dynamically
