How agents use AGENTS.md
Precedence
In a monorepo with multiple AGENTS.md files at different directory levels, the closest file to the code being edited takes precedence. A file inpackages/api/AGENTS.md overrides the root AGENTS.md for code inside that package. User chat prompts override everything.
Automatic test execution
Agents will attempt to execute testing commands found in AGENTS.md automatically. If you listpnpm test as your test command, the agent runs it to verify changes before finishing.
