A plain-text file that declares which agentic AI tools may operate in a directory tree — and on which paths. Modeled on robots.txt; complementary to AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md tells agents how to work in a project; agentaccess.txt tells them whether they may.

Put this in any directory you want AI tools to leave alone:

Agent: *
Disallow: /

• Read the spec: https://agentaccesstxt.org
• Repository, FAQ, registry, discussions: https://github.com/agentaccesstxt/agentaccess.txt

Feedback and criticism are welcome.
