It defines how the codebase is structured and what conventions should be followed, helping generated code stay consistent with the project.</p> <p>In a Spring Boot application, AGENTS.md can specify where controllers, services, and repositories belong, how dependencies should be injected, and how tests should be written. For example, it might instruct agents to use constructor injection, keep business logic in services, and follow a specific package structure.</p> <p>The file should be concise and practical. Typical content includes project structure, coding rules, and basic guidelines for making changes. By providing this context, AGENTS.md reduces inconsistent code generation and improves the usefulness of AI-assisted development.</p> ai springboot java openai
