This approach never worked for me. Explanation here:

But in summary: the more bloated your AGENTS.md is, the worse the context consumption gets. The best approach I use is telling the agent to first think about what it needs to do, then choose which rules apply. I got 100% consistency across every area of my projects.

In the post there's also a replica of one of projects rules I use, feel free to provide feedback: https://github.com/meerita/monorepo-nextjs-golang-rust-pytho...



Why is there no 17? :)

Conditional logic .agents/rules/16-conditional-logic.md

Identifiers and UUIDv7 .agents/rules/18-identifiers-and-uuidv7.md

Thanks for sharing this approach, I'll give it a shot in my mono repo project.


I cannot recall why the 17 is missing. Maybe was some internal specific of the projects.
