SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Agent docs often grow into bloated manuals that are hard to trust at session start. This Skill keeps CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and related instruction templates short, accurate, and routing-oriented so agents can start work with the right context instead of stale command dumps.

Core Features & Use Cases

Audit and cleanup: measure bloat, spot stale project names, detect duplicated managed blocks, and identify where command references should be replaced by pointers. Rewrite for clarity: preserve only the essential rules, workflow routing, project map, gotchas, and validation hooks while moving deep details into skills, references, or docs. Template generation: create compact agent guides that support xtrm, beads, specialists, and GitNexus workflows without turning the file into a manual. Use case: A repository has an AGENTS.md full of old CLI tables and archived notes, and this Skill trims it into a current guide that tells the agent what matters now.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to audit the repository's agent docs and rewrite them into a compact, current guide that preserves only essential workflow routing and project facts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clean up bloated CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files for my project?

To clean up bloated CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md files, audit them to detect bloat, spot stale project names, and identify duplicated managed blocks, then rewrite the agent docs to keep only essential routing rules and project facts while moving deep details into skills or references.

Why do my agent docs keep growing into stale command manuals at session start?

Agent docs often grow into stale command manuals because command references and archived notes accumulate over time. Replacing copied command manuals with concise skill-or-help pointers keeps the documentation compact, current, and routing-oriented for agents.

What is the best way to maintain compact instruction templates for GitNexus workflows?

The best way to maintain compact instruction templates for GitNexus workflows is to generate agent guides that preserve only essential workflow routing, project maps, gotchas, and validation hooks, ensuring support for xtrm, beads, and specialists without turning the file into a manual.

Can I use this to rewrite agent documentation without losing my managed blocks?

Yes, you can rewrite agent documentation while preserving managed blocks. The rewriting process requires managed-block preservation, ensuring only the essential rules and workflow routing remain intact while stale terms and bloat are cleaned up.

Does this approach work with repositories using beads and specialists workflows?

Yes, this approach works directly with repositories using beads, specialists, or GitNexus workflows. It audits and rewrites xtrm instruction templates, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md to keep them short, accurate, and routing-oriented for these specific environments.

When should I not keep deep command details inside my AGENTS.md file?

You should not keep deep command details inside AGENTS.md when they bloat the file and make it hard to trust at session start. Moving deep details into skills, references, or docs and replacing them with concise pointers keeps the agent guide current and compact.
