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	$0.05274	$0.05274
Opus 5.5	$0.02110	$0.02110
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01055	$0.01055

Security

Grade A, and why

template-agentic-ready-repo AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 289 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.]

Adapt the placeholders and (adapt to your stack) examples.

Read First

Document Funnel below — where any writing may live; read before writing.
PRD.md — intent (stage 4) → docs/prd/ (source-of-truth doctrine).
docs/README.md — stage-6 verdict catalog → docs/NN-slug.md.
kb/index.md — stage-3 knowledge catalog.
README.md — quick start, services, structure, tests, skills.

Three indexes, three layers, no overlap: kb/index.md, PRD.md, docs/README.md (knowledge / intent / verified reality). Planned vs Working: docs/prd/ = intent, docs/NN-slug.md = reality, edited only via coding-agents-docs-guideline. → docs/README.md

Document Funnel (MANDATORY — every harness, every agent)

Writing flows in one direction only — each stage narrows and hardens what the stage above it produced. Know which stage your output belongs to before writing, and never skip a stage.

Changes

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.
