# Vercel Agent code reviews now follow your code guidelines

By Steven Van · 2026-01-06

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](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) Agent's core checks for bugs, security issues, and performance problems. Full details are in the [code guidelines documentation](<https://vercel.com/docs/agent/pr-review#code-guidelines>).
