## Put it here

Loads on demand: paste or attach it when the task comes up. To have it every session, put it where your tool reads instructions:

- Claude Code: Save as CLAUDE.md in the project root, or .claude/CLAUDE.md. Other agents share the repo: put the shared rules in AGENTS.md and make CLAUDE.md one line, @AGENTS.md. Commit it. Start a new session: the file is read at launch. Reload: new session (or /memory to open the files). Check it loaded: /context lists the Memory files it read; /skills, /agents, /hooks list the rest; the InstructionsLoaded hook event fires once per loaded instruction file. Source: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory (checked 2026-10-12).
- Codex: Save as AGENTS.md in the repo root. Codex concatenates AGENTS.md from the git root down to the working directory, closer wins. Commit it. Start a new session. Reload: new session. Check it loaded: ask: Summarize the current instructions; `codex status`. Source: https://learn.chatgpt.com/docs/agent-configuration/agents-md (checked 2026-10-12).
- Cursor: Save as AGENTS.md in the repo root, or as .cursor/rules/<name>.mdc with `alwaysApply: true` in its frontmatter. Commit it. Reopen the project so it reindexes. Reload: reopen the project. Check it loaded: Cursor Settings → Rules shows each rule and its status; no per-reply indicator. Source: https://cursor.com/docs/context/rules (checked 2026-10-12).
- Any AI: Coding agent: save as AGENTS.md in the project root (read natively by Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Kiro, Devin, Cline, Roo, OpenHands, OpenCode, Goose, Amp, Zed, Warp, Junie, Factory and Jules; Claude Code when no CLAUDE.md exists; Aider with --read). Chat: paste it first. Reload: new session. Check it loaded: ask it to repeat one rule from the file. Source: https://agents.md/ (checked 2026-10-12).

## Access

Membership: plans at https://videotomd.com/pricing/, or email then a plan at https://videotomd.com/b/He8tUwLzLnU/. A member's browser downloads the file there; an AI without that session needs the member to attach it.
