deepinit

Hierarchical AGENTS.md documentation is generated by recursively mapping repository directories, excluding build artifacts, and creating parent-linked files with purposes, key files, dependencies, and agent instructions.

AGENTS.md is used for codebase onboarding to provide delegated AI agents with directory-specific context, local conventions, dependencies, and testing requirements before they modify unfamiliar project files.

You can update repository documentation while preserving manual notes by validating parent references, refreshing only generated content, detecting orphaned files, and handling empty or generated-file-only directories appropriately during the refresh.

deepinit handles empty or generated-file-only directories through selective directory analysis, applying appropriate logic to skip build artifacts and manage directories that lack source files during the recursive mapping process.

The best way to initialize AI instructions for an unfamiliar repository is to perform recursive directory mapping and generate parent-first documentation hierarchies that outline purposes, subdirectories, and testing guidance for delegated agent workflows.

Codebase documentation needs hierarchy validation to ensure parent references remain accurate after structural changes, preventing orphaned files and maintaining navigable documentation links across the directory tree.
