Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install AGENTS?▼

Run `npx skills add mcouthon/agents --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills globally.

What does the AGENTS framework do?▼

It structures coding work into phases — research, plan, build, review, commit — with specialized agents and auto-activating skills for debugging, testing, security review, and more.

Does AGENTS work with Claude Code and VS Code Copilot?▼

Yes. It generates compatible agents, skills, and instructions for both Claude Code and VS Code Copilot from the same templates.

How do the skills activate?▼

Skills trigger automatically from natural language — saying 'this test is failing' activates debug mode, and 'security review this PR' activates the security-review skill.

Can the Explorer agent accidentally change my code?▼

No. Explorer is read-only and can only write research notes to the .tasks/ folder, so your codebase stays untouched until you approve a plan.
