How DOX works
DOX is a tiny AGENTS.md framework that gives an AI agent precise project context.
The agent keeps a hierarchy of AGENTS.md files as the project changes:
root AGENTS.md contains project-wide instructions and the top-level index
child AGENTS.md files contain local instructions for specific areas
before any edit, the agent walks the docs tree from the root to the area it will touch
the relevant docs give it exact local guidelines, so it does not edit blindly
after meaningful changes, it updates the affected AGENTS.md files
The result is simple: traverse the docs, understand the local rules, make precise edits, keep the docs current. Less guessing. Less drift. Less "why did it touch that file?"
How to use
Copy the contents of AGENTS.md into your project's AGENTS.md file.
That's it. No installation, no dependencies, no package, no runtime. DOX is just a Markdown instruction for AI agents.<br>It works with any AI agent that supports AGENTS.md files, including Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and similar tools.
No AGENTS.md yet? Copy the file into your project root. The agent will see these instructions and will start building the DOX tree.
For an existing project, you can tell your agent: Initialize DOX tree for this project now. It will create all the child AGENTS.md files and indexes.
