For teams actively using AI in software delivery, the next step is moving beyond individual prompting toward curated instructions for software teams. This practice helps you apply AI effectively across all delivery tasks — not just coding — by sharing proven, high-quality instructions. The most straightforward way to implement this is by committing instruction files, such as an AGENTS.md, directly to your project repository. Most AI-coding tools — including Cursor, Windsurf and Claude Code — support sharing instructions through custom slash commands or workflows. For noncoding tasks, you can set up organization-wide prompt libraries ready to use. This systematic approach allows for continuous improvement: As soon as a prompt is refined, the entire team benefits, ensuring consistent access to the best AI instructions.
