Why Is This Changing?

AGENTS.md gives AI coding agents the context and rules they need to work safely and consistently in our design system.
This is helpful for:

  • reducing bad or inconsistent code changes
  • encoding architecture and workflow rules
  • preventing edits to sensitive areas
  • avoiding repeated prompting
  • making AI tools behave more predictably

The intention behind creating this now, is to help with adding spec.md files when doing component upgrades or, large refactors to components. This will also remind the agent to update docs with any regular component updates.

We can also, in the future, have AGENTS.md files in each package for more fine tuned directions.

What Is Changing?

- Add a new spec file only for new components, major component refactors, or
when the work is explicitly establishing long-term component guidance.

I think we could even be more "aggressive" and instruct the agents to assess it themselves whether the components it modifies would benefit from adding specs. It would still be up to us to accept or reject those. But this could speed up the process of adding those "organically" without additional cognitive load for us, devs.
