Kind of, but for any given directory you can't separate out instructions for building from instructions for naming conventions, for example.

With AGENTS.md you have more flexibility to do something like

``` // AGENTS.md

If implementing a new service, first read @./SERVICE_SETUP.md

If writing tests, first read @./TESTING_SETUP.md

```

Or whatever else might make sense for your project.
