Junie Help

Guidelines

Guidelines allow you to provide persistent, reusable context to the agent. Junie adds this context to every task it works on.

Guidelines are stored in the .junie/guidelines.md file in the root project directory, so you can version-control them and reuse at the project level.

Examples of guidelines

  • Information about the specific front-end technologies or testing frameworks to be used.

  • Information about the code style or any other information you believe would be useful for the development or debugging process.

Creating guidelines

You can add and edit the .junie/guidelines.md file manually, or prompt Junie to explore the project and generate the guidelines.md file for you.

Add guidelines manually
