.firgit: a file for what repository-reading agents should forget

firgit.com Visit website

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A documented plain-text convention for telling agents and other repository readers what not to retain from a codebase.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-11 issue.

For: Maintainers whose teams use repository-reading agents
Worth noticing: Unknown keywords default to forgetting, and deeper `.firgit` files cannot cancel entries inherited from parent directories.

Field notes

The specification treats forgetting as a retention rule, not a reading restriction: a reader may still inspect or use matching material for current work. Entries can apply to paths, and the page says subdirectory files are honored while deeper entries cannot cancel shallower ones. It also gives unknown keywords the same forget meaning, making unfamiliar directives conservative by default.
