FAQPage Schema
How do I generate AGENTS.md documentation for a new repository?

To generate AGENTS.md documentation for a new repository, you can use this skill to bootstrap scaffolding by detecting project structure and producing actionable guidance from references.

How do I bootstrap polyrepo setup documentation for multi-repo workspaces?

Bootstrap polyrepo setup documentation by scanning multi-repo workspaces to generate workspace-wide AGENTS.md templates and repo-specific guidance tailored to detected folder structures.

Can I extract build commands from CI workflows to use in AGENTS.md?

Yes, you can extract golden commands from CI workflows. The skill validates discovered Node and .NET tooling signals to populate AGENTS.md with the correct build commands.

What is the best way to standardize CI-related commands across multiple repositories?

Standardizing CI-related commands across multiple repositories is achieved by generating policy templates from extracted CI signals, ensuring consistent documentation for both single repo and polyrepo workspaces.

Does this AGENTS.md generator work with both Node and .NET project structures?

Yes, this AGENTS.md generator works with Node and .NET project structures. It detects language tooling during the bootstrap process and tailors the documentation commands accordingly.

When should I not use automated scaffolding for AGENTS.md files?

Automated scaffolding for AGENTS.md files may not be suitable when your repository lacks existing CI workflows or language tooling signals, as the skill relies on these to extract golden commands.
