What is template-agentic-ready-repo AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction file that tells coding agents how to work in the project, what to read first, and where different kinds of documentation belong.

Use it as the starting point for repository tasks, especially when reading or writing PRDs, knowledge-base entries, implementation docs, and agent instructions.

It gives every agent and development tool one shared source of project guidance and keeps requirements, knowledge, and verified behavior organized separately.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.07272	$0.07272
Opus 5	$0.03636	$0.03636
Sonnet 5	$0.01454	$0.01454

Security

Grade A, and why

template-agentic-ready-repo AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 505 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Instructions — [Project Name]

This file is the single source of agent instructions for every harness. CLAUDE.md and .github/copilot-instructions.md are symlinks to this file — edit AGENTS.md only. Repo-scoped skills and plugins live in .agents/, with each harness's own directory symlinked to it. See Harness Adapter below.

What This Is

[One-line description of the project. Stack, purpose, deployment context.]

Read First

Document Funnel below — where any piece of writing is allowed to live. Read before writing anything.
PRD.md — master product requirements index → topic PRDs in docs/prd/
docs/README.md — verdict catalog for the empirical layer → docs/NN-slug.md (what actually works / fails). See Planned vs Working below.
kb/index.md — knowledge base catalog (canonical semantics, architecture, data models, decisions)
README.md — quick start, services, development commands

Three indexes, three layers, no overlap: kb/index.md catalogs knowledge (stage 3), PRD.md catalogs intent (stage 4), docs/README.md catalogs verified reality (stage 6). Same NN number for one topic across docs/prd/, docs/gaps/, and docs/.

Source-of-truth doctrine (from PRD.md): KB wins on semantics/behaviour; repo artifacts win on literal values; top-level PRD wins over detail PRDs.

Planned vs Working doctrine: docs/prd/ states intent (what we plan to build); docs/NN-slug.md records verified reality (what works, what fails, the net verdict). When the two diverge, the PRD wins on intent and the NN doc wins on behaviour. Every substantive change MUST consult the relevant NN doc and update it via the coding-agents-docs-guideline skill — never edit docs/NN-slug.md without that skill loaded.

Document Funnel (MANDATORY — every harness, every agent)

Writing flows in one direction only. Each stage narrows and hardens what the stage above it produced. Every agent MUST know which stage its output belongs to before writing, and MUST NOT skip a stage.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
