Vercel Agent code reviews now follow your code guidelines
By Steven Van ·
Vercel Agent now reads files like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md to match pull request feedback to a repo's own conventions.
Vercel Agent's code review now reads a repository's own coding guidelines before commenting on a pull request. It looks for an AGENTS.md file, or existing formats such as CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, or .github/copilot-instructions.md, and applies whichever it finds automatically, with no setup required.
Guidelines are inherited down a repository's directory tree, so a root-level file applies everywhere while a file in a subdirectory adds context just for that subtree. They can also reference other files via imports or relative markdown links. This context shapes the tone of feedback, but does not override Vercel Agent's core checks for bugs, security issues, and performance problems. Full details are in the code guidelines documentation.
