The research is in: your AGENTS.md is probably too long 📉

We have all been there trying to provide every possible detail to our coding agents. But research shows that massive AGENTS.md files actually degrade performance. The problem: Too much context creates redundancy Extra noise makes it harder for agents to work effectively Comprehensive files often do more harm than good The fix: Start with an empty file Add context incrementally Focus only on what is essential This approach keeps your development workflow lean and ensures your agents have the righ
