AGENTS.md

View Source

Tidewave looks for a file called AGENTS.md in your project's root directory to add context to your chat session.

You can use AGENTS.md to add useful instructions to the agent's context, such as important project rules, basic project structure, etc.

If you already have a CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules or similar file for use with other AI tools, you can symlink or copy this file into AGENTS.md for Tidewave to pick it up.

Tidewave Web shows a notice at the very top of the active chat about the status of the AGENTS.md file.

Changing AGENTS.md

Tidewave does not watch for file changes. If you edit your AGENTS.md file or create it from scratch, you need to reload Tidewave in your browser for the new content to be picked up.

For some frameworks, Tidewave includes a default AGENTS.md file that is used if the project does not define one itself. If that is the case, the notice includes a link to the default file, which you can then copy into a local AGENTS.md file to make adjustments based on your needs.
