SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps keep AI coding agents productive by creating or updating the project’s chat customization files, so they understand the codebase, conventions, and workflow before taking action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project onboarding: Produces concise instruction files that summarize build, test, architecture, and common pitfalls for agents.
  • Customization management: Updates or creates agent guidance files such as AGENTS.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md when the project needs better AI assistance.
  • Conventions discovery: Scans existing docs and rules so new instructions link to source material instead of duplicating it.
  • Use Case: A developer wants AI helpers to work safely in a complex repository, so the skill generates targeted instructions that improve future agent behavior.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to explore the repository and create or update the agent instruction files for the project or a specific area you want covered.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create copilot instructions for a complex codebase?

To create copilot instructions, the Skill scans your existing documentation and rules to generate or update concise chat customization files like AGENTS.md, summarizing build, test, and architecture details for AI coding agents.

What are agent instructions and when do I need them for repository onboarding?

Agent instructions are chat customization files that guide AI coding agents in understanding a codebase. You need them during repository onboarding to capture project conventions, architecture, and common pitfalls before AI automation.

How do I update project conventions in my AI coding guidance files?

You can update project conventions in AI coding guidance by asking the Skill to explore your repository, discover existing instruction files, and append or modify minimal, actionable guidance without duplicating source documentation.

Does this work with existing documentation or does it duplicate it?

It works with existing documentation by scanning current docs and rules to link new instructions to source material, ensuring agent guidance remains minimal and actionable without duplicating your established project conventions.

What is the best way to maintain AGENTS.md for development workflows?

The best way to maintain AGENTS.md is to use the Skill to discover relevant documentation updates and apply targeted instruction maintenance, preserving concise, actionable guidance for future agent behavior in your development workflows.
