SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill generates AGENTS.md files to codify project-specific inline rules that should be committed in repos, keeping guidance close to the codebase.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Root-level guidance for the entire project, including commands, conventions, and safety boundaries.
  • Folder- or package-scoped rules via Subdirectory AGENTS.md when local behavior differs from the root.
  • Monorepo support to maintain consistent expectations across packages and apps.
  • Test-specific guidance to outline how to structure tests and run suites.
  • Reference linkage to best practices to ensure alignment with project standards.

Quick Start

Use the create-agents-md skill to generate an AGENTS.md at the project root. If needed, create additional AGENTS.md files in subdirectories to reflect directory-specific rules. Review the generated files against the references in references/best-practices.md to keep content concise (ideally under 200 lines).

What is the best way to manage code-style guidelines in a monorepo?▼

Managing code-style guidelines in a monorepo is best handled by generating root-level AGENTS.md files for global conventions and adding subdirectory files to maintain consistent expectations across specific packages.

Can I use AGENTS.md files for subdirectories and test folders?▼

Yes, you can use AGENTS.md files for subdirectories and test folders to outline directory-specific rules, enforce test structure, and provide directive guidance where local behavior differs from the root.

How many lines should an AGENTS.md file contain?▼

An AGENTS.md file should ideally contain under 200 lines to keep project guidelines concise, directive, and aligned with referenced best practices without overwhelming the codebase context.

What should in-repo instructions include for AI coding agents?▼

In-repo instructions should include project commands, conventions, safety boundaries, and references to best practices, ensuring AI coding agents receive clear, directive guidance directly within the repository structure.
