SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create or update AGENTS.md to codify startup behavior, roles, triggers, and project-specific safety rules for AI agents (Claude Code or remote agents) to ensure consistent, safe operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Centralize agent startup behavior, approvals, and triggers to prevent ad-hoc agent actions.
  • Provide project-specific rules that restrict sensitive modules and outline escalation paths.
  • Document how agents should initialize, interact with context, and handle recurring prompts.

Quick Start

Create or update AGENTS.md with the startup sequence, agent roster, and guardrails for this project.

Frequently Asked Questions about agents

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I stop Claude Code from asking the same context questions every startup?▼

To stop recurring context questions, define a startup contract in an AGENTS.md file at your repository root. This codifies initialization behavior, references context files, and provides triggers so agents retrieve project state automatically without prompting.

What is the best way to enforce governance rules for remote AI agents in a repository?▼

The best way to enforce governance is creating an AGENTS.md file to restrict sensitive modules and outline escalation paths. It establishes guardrails requiring human approval for specific actions, preventing ad-hoc agent operations across your codebase.

How do I set up a startup sequence for AI agents working on my project?▼

Set up an AI agent startup sequence by configuring an AGENTS.md file at the repository root. This file documents the initialization process, agent roster, and guardrails, ensuring consistent operation when Claude Code or remote agents begin work.

When do I need to create an AGENTS.md file for my codebase?▼

You need to create an AGENTS.md file when your project uses Claude Code or remote agents without a startup contract, or when modules require human approval. It centralizes behavior, approvals, and triggers to prevent ad-hoc actions.

Does AGENTS.md need to reference CLAUDE.md and WORKFLOW.md?▼

Yes, AGENTS.md references CLAUDE.md and WORKFLOW.md to consolidate context. This ensures agents initialize correctly by reading existing project workflows and specific instructions, preventing inconsistent behavior and ad-hoc actions.
