-Use agent instructions to provide always-on guidance that AWS DevOps Agent applies to every session. A session is a single conversation or investigation with an agent. On the **Agents** page in your Agent Space Operator Web App, you can set **Global instructions** that apply to all agents, or set instructions for a specific managed agent such as Chat or Incident triage. These instructions are stored as an AGENTS.md file. Unlike [DevOps Agent Skills](./about-aws-devops-agent-devops-agent-skills.html), which load on demand when the agent matches a skill description to the current task, agent instructions are always present from the start of every session, regardless of what the agent is working on.
