SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams create concise, project-specific AGENTS.md instructions by analyzing existing code conventions and avoiding generic development guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Analysis: Reviews representative source files to identify naming patterns, abstractions, testing practices, and project-specific conventions.
  • Instruction Generation: Produces focused AGENTS.md files containing only non-obvious rules that help AI agents work effectively in the repository.
  • Use Case: Use this Skill when onboarding AI coding assistants to a new project and needing a reliable summary of the repository's unique development practices.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to analyze this project and create an AGENTS.md file containing its unique coding conventions.

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

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

To create an AGENTS.md file, analyze your existing source code to identify unique naming patterns, abstractions, and testing practices, then generate concise instructions containing only non-obvious rules for AI coding agents.

What is an AGENTS.md file used for in AI coding workflows?▼

An AGENTS.md file provides repository-specific coding guidance that helps AI agents understand unique project conventions and patterns needed for effective code changes and maintenance tasks.

Why does my AI coding assistant ignore project-specific conventions?▼

AI coding assistants ignore project-specific conventions when they lack an AGENTS.md file outlining your repository's unique rules, leading to generic advice instead of code changes matching your patterns.

What's the best way to onboard an AI agent to an existing codebase?▼

The best way to onboard an AI agent is to analyze representative source files to extract your project's specific coding conventions and generate a focused instruction document for the repository.

Does the generated AGENTS.md include generic development guidance?▼

No, the generated AGENTS.md avoids generic development guidance by reviewing your codebase to identify and include only non-obvious, project-specific rules that help AI agents work effectively.

Can I generate AI coding instructions for software engineering projects with no existing conventions?▼

Generating AI coding instructions requires existing source files to analyze; without established repository patterns and coding conventions, the instruction generation process cannot identify non-obvious rules to document.
