SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Many projects lack a concise, agent-ready configuration that maps tasks, boundaries, and orchestration; this Skill eliminates uncertainty by producing a tailored AGENTS.md that orients agents to the project's goals, gaps, and conventions. It prevents generic or unsafe agent behaviour by forcing a brief interview, importing existing project context, and enforcing guardrails like a 150-line limit.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Context-aware AGENTS.md generation: Interviews the user, scans repo artifacts (PRDs, package manifests, README), and synthesizes a single, project-specific AGENTS.md.
  • Orchestration Map & Boundaries: Produces a phase-based orchestration map, explicit Allowed/Ask First/Never boundaries, and key commands to make agents composable and safe.
  • Update Mode & Auditability: Supports UPDATE_ONLY mode for scoped edits, shows diffs before saving, and appends entries to a skill outputs log for traceability.
  • Use case: Onboard agents into a new repo by running this Skill to create a concise AGENTS.md that configures agent autonomy, test/build commands, and role-specific boundaries.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to interview you about your role and project, then "generate an AGENTS.md for this project" to create and save a tailored AGENTS.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about project-setup

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an AGENTS.md file for my project repository?▼

To generate an AGENTS.md, the Skill interviews you about your role and project, scans repo artifacts like PRDs and manifests, and synthesizes a tailored configuration file mapping agent boundaries and orchestration.

What is the best way to onboard AI agents into a new codebase?▼

Onboarding agents requires a concise AGENTS.md that orients them to project goals and conventions; this Skill forces a brief interview and scans your repository to produce safe, composable agent behavior guardrails.

Can I update an existing AGENTS.md without regenerating the entire file?▼

Yes, you can use UPDATE_ONLY mode to perform scoped edits on an existing AGENTS.md, showing diffs before saving and appending entries to a skill outputs log for traceability.

Are there line limits or size constraints for AGENTS.md files?▼

AGENTS.md files are strictly capped at a 150-line limit to prevent generic or unsafe agent behavior by forcing concise, project-specific orchestration maps and boundaries.

Does project-setup work with existing PRDs and package manifests?▼

Yes, the Skill performs silent repository scans to import existing project context from PRDs, package manifests, and README files to synthesize an accurate AGENTS.md configuration.

When should I regenerate an AGENTS.md configuration file?▼

You should regenerate AGENTS.md during project bootstrap, agent onboarding, repository initialization, or when PRDs, tech stacks, or team composition change and require updated agent behavior.
