306 - Keeping your agent instructions in sync and effective
About this episode
AGENTS.md is becoming the common language for AI coding tools, but keeping repo
rules, personal rules, and tool-specific files in sync is still messy. In this
episode, Kaushik and Iury break down the sync problem, compare their own setups,
and unpack what the latest AGENTS.md research actually says.
