+# AGENTS.md
+
+This file provides context and guidelines for AI agents working on the `aredis` repository.
+
+## Project Overview
+
+`aredis` is an efficient and user-friendly async Redis client for Python, ported from `redis-py`. It allows interaction with Redis using Python's `asyncio` framework.
+
+## Development Guidelines
+
+### Language and Style
+- **Language**: Python (supports Python 3.8+).
+- **Style**: Follow PEP 8 coding standards.
+- **Asyncio**: This is an asynchronous library. Ensure all I/O operations are non-blocking and use `async`/`await` syntax where appropriate.
+
+### Code Structure
+- **Source Code**: Located in the `aredis/` directory.
+- **Tests**: Located in the `tests/` directory.
+- **Benchmarks**: Located in the `benchmarks/` directory.
+- **Documentation**: Located in the `docs/` directory (Sphinx-based).
+- **Examples**: Usage examples are in the `examples/` directory.
+
+## Testing
+
+- The project uses `pytest` for testing.
+- Run tests using `pytest` or `python setup.py test`.
+- Ensure new features or bug fixes include appropriate test coverage in the `tests/` directory.
+- For performance-critical changes, consider running scripts in `benchmarks/` to ensure no regression.
+
+## Documentation
+
+- Documentation is written in reStructuredText (`.rst`) and built with Sphinx.
+- Update documentation in `docs/source/` when adding new features or changing public APIs.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Core dependencies are listed in `setup.py`.
+- Development dependencies are in `dev_requirements.txt`.
+- Test dependencies are in `test_requirements.txt`.
+
+## Contribution
+
+- When creating Pull Requests, ensure the code is clean, tested, and documented.
+- Check `dev_requirements.txt` and `test_requirements.txt` for necessary tools.
