I don’t think this is a bad idea. Agents.md is basically RTFM for LLM’s.
The damage was done when they decided to allow LLM contributions at all. This AGENTS.md proposal adds insult to injury, is all.
Yep. I hate it, but it is Linus’ project. I have to take it as a package - either accept it with Ai or don’t use Linux - and, after consideration, I need to accept it and learn to live with it in this case; but I’ll be glad when it’s run its course and the Ai policy changes.
The proposal is just to direct the LLM to the README file. Linux is going full on RTFM with LLMs.
…making AI/LLMs consume the entire Linux kernel README and associated documentation would increase token consumption
