Me sorry doctor, just to try to clarify things, AGENTS.md is not related 
to harnessing, it is simply extra context to the prompt.

After prompt comes the response from the LLM.

And software agent can decide what to actually do based on the response.

If the response says "Let us delete full directory and make new one", 
the software may decide to ask user about it. That is how I see where 
the harnessing stage comes.

Entering anything into the prompt is not for me harnessing, yet some may 
disagree, because that decision has already been made, so there is 
nothing to harness.

I find it fundamentally misleading to ask packages to do that as that 
would mean increasing cost in their spending when accessing proprietary 
Service as Software Substitute Large Language Models.

The so called "standard" was invented by those making money on it. It 
serves them.

I believe that some of those packages have concept of memories which is 
basically just extra text inserted into the prompt to be given to the 
LLM.

Personally I am using LLM memories which is just concatenated to the 
prompt to LLM.
