Use AGENTS.md to guide coding agents and IDEs across your CrewAI projects.

Why AGENTS.md#

AGENTS.md is a lightweight, repo-local instruction file that gives coding agents consistent, project-specific guidance. Keep it in the project root and treat it as the source of truth for how you want assistants to work: conventions, commands, architecture notes, and guardrails.

Create a Project with the CLI#

Use the CrewAI CLI to scaffold a project, then AGENTS.md will be automatically added at the root.

# Crew
crewai create crew my_crew

# Flow
crewai create flow my_flow

# Tool repository
crewai tool create my_tool

Tool Setup: Point Assistants to AGENTS.md#

Codex#

Codex can be guided by AGENTS.md files placed in your repository. Use them to supply persistent project context such as conventions, commands, and workflow expectations.

Claude Code#

Claude Code stores project memory in CLAUDE.md. You can bootstrap it with /init and edit it using /memory. Claude Code also supports imports inside CLAUDE.md, so you can add a single line like @AGENTS.md to pull in the shared instructions without duplicating them.

You can simply use:

mv AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md

Gemini CLI and Google Antigravity#

Gemini CLI and Antigravity load a project context file (default: GEMINI.md) from the repo root and parent directories. You can configure it to read AGENTS.md instead (or in addition) by setting context.fileName in your Gemini CLI settings. For example, set it to AGENTS.md only, or include both AGENTS.md and GEMINI.md if you want to keep each tool’s format.

You can simply use:

mv AGENTS.md GEMINI.md

Cursor#

Cursor supports AGENTS.md as a project instruction file. Place it at the project root to provide guidance for Cursor’s coding assistant.

Windsurf#

Claude Code provides an official integration with Windsurf. If you use Claude Code inside Windsurf, follow the Claude Code guidance above and import AGENTS.md from CLAUDE.md.

If you are using Windsurf’s native assistant, configure its project rules or instructions feature (if available) to read from AGENTS.md or paste the contents directly.
