Mastering AGENTS.md for AI Coding with Tilak Mohanta

AI coding agents can write code. But do they really understand your project?

That’s where AGENTS.md comes in.

In this practical webinar, we’ll explore how AGENTS.md can provide persistent, project-specific instructions to AI coding agents—helping them understand your architecture, coding standards, workflows, testing expectations, and project conventions before they start making changes.

We’ll cover:

• What AGENTS.md is and why it matters
• How AI coding agents discover and use AGENTS.md
• What you should (and shouldn’t) put inside it
• How to structure instructions for real-world projects
• Root-level vs nested AGENTS.md files
• Writing effective coding, testing, architecture, and workflow instructions
• Common mistakes that make AGENTS.md less useful
• Practical examples from real development workflows
• How AGENTS.md fits into an AI-assisted development workflow

Who is this for?

Developers, tech leads, engineering managers, and anyone experimenting with AI-assisted software development.

You don’t need to be an AI expert. If you use AI to write, review, debug, or understand code, this session is for you.

Goal: By the end of the webinar, you should be able to create an AGENTS.md file for your own project and use it to make your AI coding workflow more consistent and reliable.
