AGENTS.MD Generator

Purpose

Generate AGENTS.md files that serve as onboarding documentation for AI coding agents. This file teaches agents about project structure, coding conventions, build processes, and development workflows.

Prerequisites

• Access to the target repository
• Understanding of the project’s technology stack
• Write permissions to create AGENTS.md at repository root

Instructions

Step 1: Analyze Repository Structure

Use bash and view tools to explore repository contents.

Step 2: Identify Project Type

Determine if it’s a full-stack app, API, mobile app, library, or CLI tool.

Step 3: Generate AGENTS.md Structure

Create sections for Overview, Tech Stack, Project Structure, Development Setup, Coding Standards, Testing, and Deployment.

Step 4: Customize by Project Type

Add type-specific guidance based on the project category.

Step 5: Add Decision Trees

Include decision flows for common development scenarios.

Step 6: Validate and Refine

Ensure completeness and clarity.

Best Practices

1. Keep it current with architectural changes
2. Include actual examples from the codebase
3. Think from an AI agent’s perspective
4. Explain the “why” not just “what”
