Skill: Generate AGENTS.md
What This Skill Does
Creates an AGENTS.md file in the project root that captures the conventions an agent needs before writing code. The file is read at the start of each agent session.
A well-written AGENTS.md eliminates the 2-5k tokens that agents otherwise spend re-discovering project conventions (build commands, test patterns, naming rules, directory layout) at every session start.
When to Use
- When a project has no
AGENTS.mdyet - When
smart-startdetects a missingAGENTS.md - After significant project restructuring (new modules, changed build system)
- When onboarding a project to AI-assisted development for the first time
Use this skill to create or fully regenerate AGENTS.md. For small targeted edits, update AGENTS.md manually.
