+# AGENTS.md for Spec Kit documentation
+
+## Guidelines for consistent user documentation
+
+- The correct syntax for this project is "Spec Kit" (two words, capital S and K). Never use any other variation outside of code snippets.
+- Use active voice and present tense where possible.
+- Write for an audience familiar with AI and programming concepts, but new to Spec Kit.
+- Ensure an informal narrative, teaching voice: give a one-line "why" plus a one-line "how" and a minimal, copy‑pastable example/command when helpful.
+- User documentation files are expected to use kebab-case for the `.md` extension, except for special files like `README.md`.
+- Examples should be copy-pastable in fenced code blocks and accurate; if unsure, prefer not to change examples.
+
+## GitHub Pages Deployment Constraints
+
+- Documentation is hosted at `https://github.github.io/spec-kit/` via GitHub Pages deployment defined by `.github/docs.yml`.
+- The static site is generated with DocFX. Use library ID `/dotnet/docfx` if referencing `context7` MCP.
+- All documentation changes must be aligned with these standard flows, else deployments will fail.
