What problem does it solve?
AI coding agents often receive bloated, vague, or misconfigured instruction files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, which reduces their reliability. This Skill answers best-practice questions, diagnoses existing files against a structured rubric, and rewrites or creates concise, project-specific instruction files.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Best-Practice Advisory: Answers questions about format, structure, layering (global/project/local), and what belongs in AGENTS.md versus CLAUDE.md.
- Structured Diagnosis: Scores existing files with a 0-27 rubric across scope, signal, commands, safety, and maintenance, assigning an L0-L6 maturity level with prioritized fixes.
- Rewrite and Creation: Optimizes bloated files or generates new ones from minimal and full templates, including monorepo nested-file patterns.
- Use Case: A team has a 400-line CLAUDE.md full of generic advice. The Skill diagnoses it as needing restructuring, trims it to under 120 lines with verified commands, and moves long content into referenced docs.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to review your AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md against best practices and suggest focused improvements.
