Agent context files

Artificial intelligence (AI) coding assistants are software agents that help engineers to write code and investigate problems more efficiently. They typically rely on large language models (LLMs) trained with general knowledge about software engineering, but often will not have specific familiarity with Rush's workspace structure, the latest features of Rush, or details about your own team's projects. You can improve the accuracy of these tools by adding context files to your monorepo. Context files contain additional instructions and information to help the agent.

The table below provides links to context files designed for popular coding assistants.
