Devin supports AGENTS.md - a simple, open standard for providing context and instructions to AI agents. Think of AGENTS.md as a README for agents

​
Creating an AGENTS.md File

Just put an AGENTS.md file in your project root (or anywhere else). Devin will look for the file before it starts coding. Here’s an example: 
# AGENTS.md

## Setup Commands
- Install dependencies: `npm install`
- Start development server: `npm run dev`
- Run tests: `npm test`
- Build for production: `npm run build`

## Code Style
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- Prefer functional components in React
- Use ESLint and Prettier configurations
- Follow conventional commit format

## Testing Guidelines
- Write unit tests for all new functions
- Use Jest for testing framework
- Aim for >80% code coverage
- Run tests before committing

## Project Structure
- `/src` - Main application code
- `/tests` - Test files
- `/docs` - Documentation
- `/public` - Static assets

## Development Workflow
- Create feature branches from `main`
- Use pull requests for code review
- Squash commits before merging
- Update documentation for new features
We also highly recommend doing repo setup to give Devin context on how to work with your repository.
