AI Guard .gitignore

A deny-list .gitignore to keep AI agent instructions out of repositories.

This project provides a strict .gitignore that prevents AI coding agents and editors from adding repository-scoped instruction files, rules, or configuration artifacts to version control.

Usage

• Copy the contents of .gitignore from this repository into your own .gitignore (merge or replace as needed).
• If any of these files are already tracked by git, .gitignore will not remove them. You must untrack them manually, for example:

git rm --cached AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md GEMINI.md opencode.json
git rm --cached -r .github/agents .cursor .continue .windsurf .roo .junie .amazonq
