Agentic software engineering (ASE) template repository
The purpose of this repository is to serve as a public template for agentic software engineering (ASE) developed at Ascend.io. We use a variety of tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and GitHub Copilot to assist in the software development process. This repository is designed to be a starting point for teams looking to implement ASE practices in their own projects.
What?
Common context to be included in all agentic sessions are centralized in the AGENTS.md file. Tool-specific files are then symlinked or copied from this AGENTS.md file.
Structure
| What | How | Why |
|---|---|---|
AGENTS.md |
Central context file | Single source of truth for agent instructions |
CLAUDE.md |
Symlinked from AGENTS.md | Claude Code specific context |
GEMINI.md |
Symlinked from AGENTS.md | Gemini CLI specific context |
.github/copilot-instructions.md |
Symlinked from AGENTS.md | GitHub Copilot specific context |
bin/ |
Executable utility scripts | Direct execution of bash/Python utilities |
prompts/ |
Durable context files as Markdown | Reusable prompt templates and context |
tasks/ |
Ephemeral development task files | Temporary task documentation |
src/ |
Source code directory | Main application code |
Why?
Standards are hard [obligatory xkcd here]. Nobody agrees on the files -- nor even the extension -- to use for their ASE tooling. So, over time we settled on the root agent context file with some additional structure.
