SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deepinit removes codebase discovery friction by creating consistent, AI-readable AGENTS.md documentation that explains what each directory contains and how agents should work within it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hierarchical AGENTS.md generation: Produces a navigable tree of AGENTS.md files using parent references so agents can reliably infer structure and ownership.
  • Update-aware regeneration: Detects existing AGENTS.md files, updates auto-generated sections, and preserves manually added notes between the MANUAL markers.
  • Operational guardrails for agents: Embeds working, testing, patterns, dependency, and validation instructions, including rules for skipping empty directories and minimizing noise.
  • Scope: Best suited for initializing or refreshing large repositories where consistent directory-level guidance is needed for multi-agent workflows.

Quick Start

Run the skill to scan the repository directories and generate or update AGENTS.md files with correct parent links, preserving any manual sections.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate hierarchical documentation for AI agent onboarding in a large repository?

You can generate hierarchical AGENTS.md files by recursively mapping repository directories and validating parent references. This creates a navigable documentation tree that enables AI agents to quickly understand directory purpose, relationships, and operational rules during codebase onboarding.

What is an AGENTS.md file and how does it help with codebase onboarding?

An AGENTS.md file provides AI-readable documentation explaining directory contents and operational guardrails for agents. It removes codebase discovery friction by embedding working, testing, dependency, and validation instructions, enabling faster multi-agent onboarding across large repositories.

Can I update existing directory documentation without losing manually added notes?

Yes, you can update existing directory documentation without losing manual notes. The regeneration process detects existing AGENTS.md files, updates auto-generated sections, and preserves manually added content located between designated MANUAL markers during iterative repository changes.

How do I initialize consistent directory-level guidance across a large repository?

You initialize consistent directory-level guidance by scanning repository directories and generating AGENTS.md files with correct parent links. This ensures complete coverage of relevant directories while skipping empty or generated-only cases to minimize documentation noise.

What are the limitations of automated repository documentation generation?

Automated repository documentation generation skips irrelevant generated-only or empty directories to minimize noise. It is best suited for initializing or refreshing large repositories requiring consistent directory-level guidance, rather than replacing specialized custom documentation for complex logic.
