SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Validate and maintain cross-platform agent instruction files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, copilot-instructions.md). Ensure symlinks are correct, content is synchronized, and all AI coding agents receive consistent instructions. Use when setting up a new repo, auditing agent configs, or debugging why different agents behave differently.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Canonical structure enforcement to centralize agent instructions and minimize drift across platforms.
  • Symlink validation to ensure AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and related platform files all reference the canonical source.
  • Cross-platform audit workflows for onboarding and debugging inconsistencies among Copilot, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Manus.
  • Guided setup and maintenance commands to keep instructions synchronized.

Quick Start

Set up the canonical AGENTS.md and create the required symlinks across all agent directories.

Frequently Asked Questions about cross-platform-sync

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

FAQPage Schema
Why do my AI coding agents behave differently across Copilot, Claude Code, and Manus?▼

Agent instruction files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md need cross-platform synchronization to prevent behavioral drift across Copilot, Claude Code, Windsurf, and Manus. Enforcing a canonical structure with symlinked references maintains a unified source of truth for all agents.

How do I keep AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md synchronized across multiple repositories?▼

Keep AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md synchronized by enforcing a canonical location and creating symlinked references for platform-specific paths. This establishes a unified source of truth, minimizing content drift across repositories.

What is the best way to set up symlinks for agent instruction files during repo onboarding?▼

The best way to set up symlinks for agent instruction files is to establish a canonical AGENTS.md file and create symlinked references across all agent directories. This centralizes instructions and ensures platform-specific files reference the canonical source.

Can I audit copilot-instructions.md and CLAUDE.md to find configuration inconsistencies?▼

You can audit copilot-instructions.md, CLAUDE.md, and AGENTS.md to validate symlinks and detect content inconsistencies. Cross-platform audit workflows check that all agent configuration files correctly reference the canonical source.

When should I not use symlinks to manage cross-platform agent instructions?▼

You should not use symlinks to manage cross-platform agent instructions on operating systems or file systems that do not support symlink creation, as this prevents establishing the required canonical references to AGENTS.md and related platform files.
