How is this computed?

round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-02. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

DOX is a tiny Markdown-only framework built around AGENTS.md files that gives AI coding agents precise, hierarchical project context. Agents traverse a tree of root and child AGENTS.md files before editing, follow local guidelines, and keep the docs updated after meaningful changes.

Use cases

  • give my AI coding agent project-wide and local coding guidelines
  • stop AI agents from editing the wrong files or drifting from conventions
  • set up an AGENTS.md hierarchy for a large codebase
  • make Claude Code or Codex follow per-directory rules
  • keep agent instructions in sync as the project changes

When to choose

  • you use any agent that supports AGENTS.md (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode) and want better edit precision
  • you want a zero-install, zero-dependency convention that is just Markdown
  • your codebase is large enough that a single instructions file causes drift or blind edits

When to avoid

  • you need a runtime, tooling, or enforcement mechanism rather than instructions the agent may ignore
  • your project is tiny and a single AGENTS.md already suffices
  • your agent does not read AGENTS.md files
