SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of onboarding agents and new contributors by keeping a single, authoritative AGENTS.md (a.k.a. CLAUDE.md) document at the repository root that explains how to navigate, build, and contribute to the project.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic doc generation: Produces an up-to-date AGENTS.md that matches the contract expected by the repo’s host executor for onboarding.
  • Repo-aware orientation: Summarizes the project, highlights entry points and the runtime loop/public API, and points to the most relevant files.
  • Contributor-ready setup: Provides first-time setup and canonical build commands so an agent can start executing quickly and correctly.

Use case: When an agent is dropped into the repo, run init to generate an AGENTS.md that tells it exactly where to look and what commands to run to build and understand the system.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run the init skill to generate a correct AGENTS.md at the repository root for the dhnt project.

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

To generate an AGENTS.md file for repository onboarding, run the init skill which inspects your README, build configuration, and code graph to produce a concise 200–400 line orientation document at the repository root.

What should an agent onboarding document include for a new repository?

An agent onboarding document should include a project summary, entry points, setup instructions, canonical build commands, architecture pointers, conventions, and reference links so coding assistants can navigate and execute tasks correctly.

How do I create a CLAUDE.md file that helps coding agents understand my project?

Creating a CLAUDE.md file that helps coding agents understand your project requires reading existing documentation, inspecting build configuration, and mapping key files to output a standardized orientation summary with build commands and architecture pointers.

Can I use an automated tool to generate documentation for agentic coding assistants?

Yes, you can use an automated repo onboarding tool to generate documentation for agentic coding assistants by inspecting your repository structure and build setup to produce a standardized AGENTS.md file at the root.

Does the generated AGENTS.md file contain secrets or reproduce the full README?

No, the generated AGENTS.md file does not contain secrets or reproduce full README content; it outputs a concise 200–400 line document with orientation pointers, build commands, and architecture summaries without inlining sensitive data.

What is the best way to standardize agent instructions across a repository?

The best way to standardize agent instructions across a repository is generating an authoritative AGENTS.md file at the root that provides deterministic, repo-aware orientation including setup commands, architecture pointers, and key file references.
