AGENTS.override.md
Manage AGENTS.override.md across your repositories.
Codex-style workflows may ship both AGENTS.md and AGENTS.override.md. DirectiveOps discovers both, models them in the constitution graph, and surfaces drift and security signals across your fleet.
What it is
AGENTS.override.md
AGENTS.override.md layers additional or replacement guidance on top of AGENTS.md in Codex-style discovery. It is merged according to tool-specific rules so closer scopes can refine or override repository defaults.
The problem
AGENTS.override.md drift compounds silently across repos
Override files are easy to miss in review: they change effective agent behavior without a clear map of precedence across nested paths and repos.
How DirectiveOps helps
From drifted AGENTS.override.md files to aligned standards
Discover AGENTS.override.md next to AGENTS.md
Treat overrides as first-class instruction surfaces in inventory and drift checks
Roll out coordinated updates with reviewable PRs and audit history
