I built AI Steering Files: an open-source catalog of repository steering/config files for AI coding agents.

Repo steering files are becoming the real interface between humans and coding agents. The useful ones encode taste: test strategy, architecture boundaries, review rules, and “do not touch” zones.

Useful project. Steering files are becoming the new onboarding docs for agents. The hard part is keeping them small, testable, and close enough to the repo that they don’t become stale policy prose.

If agents keep missing repo commands, product context, constraints, or design rules, this helps you decide what belongs where. PRs welcome if I’m missing useful AI config files or strong examples.
