SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates AGENTS.md files to codify project-specific inline rules that should be committed in repos, keeping guidance close to the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Root-level guidance for the entire project, including commands, conventions, and safety boundaries.
  • Folder- or package-scoped rules via Subdirectory AGENTS.md when local behavior differs from the root.
  • Monorepo support to maintain consistent expectations across packages and apps.
  • Test-specific guidance to outline how to structure tests and run suites.
  • Reference linkage to best practices to ensure alignment with project standards.

Quick Start

Use the create-agents-md skill to generate an AGENTS.md at the project root. If needed, create additional AGENTS.md files in subdirectories to reflect directory-specific rules. Review the generated files against the references in references/best-practices.md to keep content concise (ideally under 200 lines).

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an AGENTS.md file for my repository?

To generate an AGENTS.md file, use this Skill to codify project-specific inline rules and commit them directly in your repo, keeping concise guidance close to the codebase.

What is the best way to manage code-style guidelines in a monorepo?

Managing code-style guidelines in a monorepo is best handled by generating root-level AGENTS.md files for global conventions and adding subdirectory files to maintain consistent expectations across specific packages.

Can I use AGENTS.md files for subdirectories and test folders?

Yes, you can use AGENTS.md files for subdirectories and test folders to outline directory-specific rules, enforce test structure, and provide directive guidance where local behavior differs from the root.

How many lines should an AGENTS.md file contain?

An AGENTS.md file should ideally contain under 200 lines to keep project guidelines concise, directive, and aligned with referenced best practices without overwhelming the codebase context.

What should in-repo instructions include for AI coding agents?

In-repo instructions should include project commands, conventions, safety boundaries, and references to best practices, ensuring AI coding agents receive clear, directive guidance directly within the repository structure.
