# Using AGENTS.md

> Use an AGENTS.md file to provide Qodo with project-specific instructions, coding conventions, and build commands that guide agent behavior.

<Warning>
  **Heads up: IDE plugin deprecation notice**

  The Qodo IDE plugin is being retired on October 30, 2026. Local code review now runs inside the coding agents you already use.

  Set up the Qodo Agentic Toolbox to keep reviewing code before you open a pull request. [Get the Agentic Toolbox](https://docs.qodo.ai/agentic-toolbox).
</Warning>

Qodo automatically detects and reads an `AGENTS.md` file in your repository as part of the project context. This file helps guide the agent’s behavior, for example, by defining build and test commands, coding conventions, or project-specific instructions.

If your project contains multiple `AGENTS.md` files (e.g., in a monorepo), Qodo uses the one closest to the file or folder you're working with.

The format and purpose of this file follow the open standard described in [**agents.md**](https://agents.md/?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

<Tip>
  You can use AGENTS.md to share best practices, style guides, or testing rules so every agent working in your project behaves consistently.
