AGENTS.md is now supported in VS Code

12 Sep, 2025

AI Agents generate better output when you have a set of rules that can be used by AI Agents every time you interact with them.

As of now, there is no official standard way to do it; each of them has their own way of doing things like CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, etc.

But lately, AGENTS.md is getting traction slowly, and the majority of AI Agents support that along with their proprietary file as well.

Recently, VS Code (v1.104+) started supporting that as well.

With support for a common file for AI Agents, we can avoid creating multiple files for every single AI Agent.
