A simple, open format for guiding coding agents, used by over 60k open-source projects . Think of AGENTS.md as a README for agents : a dedicated, predictable place to provide the context and instructions to help AI coding agents work on your project. # AGENTS.md ## Setup commands - Install deps: `pnpm install` - Start dev server: `pnpm dev` - Run tests: `pnpm test` ## Code style - TypeScript strict mode - Single quotes, no semicolons - Use functional patterns where possible Why AGENTS.md? README.md files are for humans: quick starts, project descriptions, and contribution guidelines. AGENTS.md complements this by containing the extra, sometimes detailed context coding agents need: build…from agents.md

    Feels a bit like Figma, but for coding agents. Instead of going back and forth with prompts, you give the agent a DESIGN.md that defines the design system up front, and it generally sticks to it when generating UI. Google Stitch seems to be moving in this direction as a standard, so we put together a small collection of DESIGN.md files based on popular web sites.

    npx agentseed init AGENTS.md (https://agents.md) is a standard file used by AI coding agents to understand a repo (stack, commands, conventions). Agentseed generates it directly from the codebase using static analysis. Optional LLM augmentation is supported by bringing your own API key. Extracts languages, frameworks, dependencies, build/test commands, directory structure, and monorepo boundaries.

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  • I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
