AGENTS.md - basic FFAStrans knowledge for Agents
Posted: Tue May 19, 2026 9:41 pm
For the users of claude code and similar tools:
I do keep this collection of generic ffastrans system knowledge in the ffastrans install dir so AGENTS.md and docs folder is next to ffastrans.exe.
The goal of providing such knowledge files is that Agents don't need to re-collect all basic knowledge from scratch each time you start a new session (or make you independent of the Agents own memory). Ultimately, keeping short generic .md files like this to guide Agents shall help to limit Token and Context usage and therefore speed up and cause less cost.
For example: if you ask the agent what went wrong with this %job_id%, it might by default have to check lots of files and folders just to find out where the job logs are and how to parse them efficiently. All of this can be saved when the agent reads the generic knowledge file up in front.
For ffastrans 1.4: (updated 13.06, removed misleading o_media)
