Developer Zeke Sikelianos shares his global AGENTS.md rules for optimizing AI coding agents within the Cloudflare developer ecosystem.
Zeke Sikelianos has shared an anonymized version of his personal AGENTS.md template, which acts as a project-level README file to guide AI coding agents (such as Claude Code) during development sessions. Among the global rules, Sikelianos highlights Cloudflare-specific configurations that instruct AI agents to use JSONC instead of TOML for Workers config, use cross-platform .env files instead of .dev.vars, run Wrangler and npm packages on their latest versions, perform tasks via API/CLI rather than the Cloudflare dashboard, favor Cloudflare Workers over Cloudflare Pages for static sites, and use the Hono framework where appropriate.
Using a global AGENTS.md file is a highly effective, low-overhead way to establish persistent codebase guardrails for AI coding agents without having to configure complex or tool-specific custom skills.
- –Pragmatic Standard: It relies on simple Markdown files that AI models can naturally parse, making it immediately compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents.
- –Cross-Platform Alignment: The Cloudflare rules push the agent to prioritize standard, non-proprietary conventions (like using .env instead of .dev.vars) for cleaner setups.
- –Living Context: Updating the file whenever an agent makes a mistake prevents similar regressions across future chat sessions.
