System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

In large codebases and AI-assisted projects, Claude agents suffer from verbose documentation and token bloat. This Skill creates a hierarchical AGENTS.md system with a lightweight root file and detailed sub-folder guidance, enabling efficient agent guidance with near-wins and Just-In-Time indexing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Root AGENTS.md is lightweight: index-level guidance with links to sub-folders.
  • Nearest-Wins Hierarchy: sub-folder AGENTS.md files override root guidance for precise context.
  • JIT Indexing: path hints, globs, and quick-find commands for agent navigation.
  • Token Efficiency: compact guidance that scales with codebase complexity.
  • Sub-Folder Details: deeper, technology-specific conventions and examples.

Quick Start

Generate a root AGENTS.md for a new monorepo and create a sub-folder AGENTS.md under critical packages to guide AI agents.
