July 7, 2025 Multiple AGENT.md Files Use multiple `AGENT.md` files across directory trees

Update: Amp now looks in files named AGENTS.md (with an S).

Amp now looks for AGENT.md files in subtrees, parent directories, and ~/.config/AGENT.md.

This lets you keep your top-level AGENT.md general and create more specific AGENT.md files in subtrees. They'll be included only when Amp works in that subtree.

You can also @-mention files in AGENT.md to include additional context.
