What problem does it solve?

Audits AGENTS.md files to identify bloated, inconsistent guidance and ensure execution-first instructions stay concise and actionable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Execution-first auditing: checks for commands, gotchas, and signal-to-noise.
  • Guidance normalization: ensures AGENTS.md remains the source of truth and symlinks to CLAUDE.md.
  • Audit workflows: quick vs full audit modes with reference materials.
  • Practical use cases: when asked to audit, review, score, refactor, or improve agent instruction files.

Quick Start

Run a quick audit on AGENTS.md using the provided references to identify high-priority fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit AGENTS.md to remove bloated content and unclear rules?

To audit AGENTS.md, run a quick or full audit workflow that scores signal-to-noise, checks for stale commands, and proposes diffs to enforce execution-first guidance. This prunes bloated sections and normalizes instructions.

What is execution-first guidance for agent instruction files?

Execution-first guidance prioritizes actionable commands, gotchas, and concise rules over verbose explanations in agent instruction files. Auditing AGENTS.md enforces this by pruning bloated content and ensuring the file remains the source of truth.

How do I refactor AGENTS.md to fix stale commands and bloated sections?

Refactor AGENTS.md by running an audit workflow that identifies stale commands and bloated sections, then applies proposed diffs to normalize guidance. This ensures instructions stay concise, actionable, and execution-first.

Can I use this audit workflow to ensure AGENTS.md symlinks to CLAUDE.md?

Yes, the audit workflow includes guidance normalization to ensure AGENTS.md remains the source of truth and correctly symlinks to CLAUDE.md. This maintains consistency across agent instruction files.

What is the difference between a quick audit and a full audit for AGENTS.md?

A quick audit identifies high-priority fixes in AGENTS.md using provided references, while a full audit uses comprehensive reference materials to score and propose diffs across all sections. Both enforce execution-first guidance.

When should I not use a full audit workflow for AGENTS.md?

You should avoid a full audit when your AGENTS.md only needs high-priority fixes, as the quick audit mode is faster. Use the full audit only when you need comprehensive scoring and diff proposals across all reference materials.
