AGENTS.md Generator Skill
=========================

[](#agentsmd-generator-skill)

Netresearch AI skill for generating and maintaining AGENTS.md files following the [agents.md specification](https://agents.md/).

> **What is AGENTS.md?** A context file written **for AI coding agents**, not humans. Human readability is a side effect, not a goal. Adopted by 60,000+ open-source projects. See the [official specification](https://agents.md/) and [best practices from 2,500+ repositories](https://github.blog/ai-and-ml/github-copilot/how-to-write-a-great-agents-md-lessons-from-over-2500-repositories/).

Standards Compliance
--------------------

[](#standards-compliance)

This skill implements two complementary standards:

1. **[agents.md](https://agents.md/)** - The file format this skill generates. A simple Markdown convention for guiding AI coding agents, supported by Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and 60,000+ open-source projects.
2. **[Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io)** - How this skill is packaged and distributed. A portable format for procedural knowledge that works across AI agents.

**Supported Platforms:**

- ✅ Claude Code (Anthropic)
- ✅ Cursor
- ✅ GitHub Copilot
- ✅ Other skills-compatible AI agents

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Thin Root Files** - ~30 lines with precedence rules and global defaults
- **Scoped Files** - Automatic subsystem detection (backend/, frontend/, internal/, cmd/)
- **Auto-Extraction** - Commands from Makefile, package.json, composer.json, go.mod
- **Multi-Language** - Templates for Go, PHP, TypeScript, Python, and hybrid projects
- **Idempotent Updates** - Preserve existing structure while refreshing content
- **Managed Headers** - Mark files as agent-maintained with timestamps
