Linux Kernel Developers Consider Adding AGENTS.md To Help Guide AI/LLM Agents
Linux kernel developer Sasha Levin has proposed adding an AGENTS.md file to the kernel source tree to guide AI/LLM coding agents contributing patches. The file would link to the kernel's README and related documentation. Testing showed that without AGENTS.md, one AI agent improperly added a Signed-off-by tag and used a non-standard attribution tag instead of the kernel's Assisted-by convention, while another added no attribution at all; adding AGENTS.md fixed both issues. The patch, discussed on the Linux kernel mailing list, has drawn objections over increased token consumption from requiring agents to parse the full README and documentation, with some suggesting more targeted AI-specific docs instead.
