Agents MD

Contract

Field	Bound contract
Trigger	User asks to set up a repo for agents, add AGENTS.md, audit CLAUDE.md, make a repo agent-friendly, score agent instructions, prune long/generic/stale instructions, or produce a lean pointer-only AGENTS.md
Authority	Reversible local: writes only AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md (or a symlink to AGENTS.md when a target tool reads solely CLAUDE.md), CLAUDE.local.md, `.claude/settings.json`, `.cursor/rules/*.mdc`, Cursor `hooks.json`, and supporting instruction files after user confirmation; rollback is restoring the pre-edit snapshot. No remote mutation.
Side effect	Local write to agent instruction files in the repo; no remote, credential, paid, published, deployed, or VCS mutation
Done	Repo has working, scored, non-contradictory AGENTS.md for every target tool, plus a CLAUDE.md only when a target tool reads solely CLAUDE.md; every surviving line passes the three-check admission gate (non-discoverable, operationally significant, actionable); lean variants stay under 100 lines with pointer-only sections

Inputs

Required: the repository root path to audit or set up.
Optional: target tool set (defaults to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor); audit mode (quick or full, defaults to quick); target grade (defaults to 10/12 for quick, A for full); target file path (defaults to root AGENTS.md, then CLAUDE.md if AGENTS.md absent); scope limit (root-only versus hierarchical); owner name for the lean commit attribution line.

Procedure

AGENTS.md files are execution contracts, not knowledge bases. Every line must help an agent execute correctly with minimal context. AGENTS.md is temporary guidance, not permanent configuration: when a recurring issue has a fixable root cause in code or tooling (a lint rule, test, script, or structural change), prefer that fix and keep only the minimum instruction needed until the root cause is solved.

Discover files and survey discoverability. Find every agent instruction file in the repo:
```
find . \( -name "AGENTS.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.local.md" \) 2>/dev/null | sort
```
Also check ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (applies to every session). For monorepos, include workspace-level files. Audit each level independently: root holds universal rules, child files hold directory-specific rules. Then survey source files to learn what is already discoverable: README, PROJECT.md, cursor rules (.cursor/rules/ or .cursorrules), Copilot instructions (.github/copilot-instructions.md), GEMINI.md, CI/workflow files, package manager config, CONTRIBUTING.md, and docs/. Record what an agent can infer from these alone; anything discoverable need not be restated.
- Done when: every instruction file is listed and the discoverability survey records what an agent can learn without AGENTS.md.
Choose a mode.
- No agent instructions, or targeting a tool the repo is not wired for → Setup (Step 3), then Writing from scratch (Step 6), then Audit (Step 4).
- File exists and the question is quality → Audit (Step 4).
- File exists and is bloated (root over ~150 lines), stale, scored below target, long/generic/stale, or agents repeat avoidable mistakes → Refactor (Step 5).
- Repo has convention docs and user wants a lean pointer file → Lean (Step 6, lean variant).
- Done when: exactly one mode is selected and the entry step is identified.
Setup: decide which files exist and which tool reads each.
- AGENTS.md at the repo root is the source of truth. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, Windsurf, and Zed all read it natively. Every other agent file is a pointer or tool-specific supplement, never a second copy. Two copies of a rule drift silently because nothing in the codebase contradicts either one.
- Claude Code: nothing beyond AGENTS.md. Add CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md as a symlink only when a tool in use reads solely CLAUDE.md; a symlink keeps one source of truth where a copy would drift. Use .claude/settings.json for hooks and CLAUDE.local.md (gitignored) for personal overrides.
- Codex: nothing beyond AGENTS.md.
- Cursor: AGENTS.md covers prose. Add .cursor/rules/*.mdc only for rules needing Cursor glob scoping. Frontmatter is required; with empty duplicates AGENTS.md.

## Inputs

- Required: the repository root path to audit or set up.
- Optional: target tool set (defaults to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor); audit mode (quick or full, defaults to quick); target grade (defaults to 10/12 for quick, A for full); target file path (defaults to root AGENTS.md, then CLAUDE.md if AGENTS.md absent); scope limit (root-only versus hierarchical); owner name for the lean commit attribution line.

## Procedure

AGENTS.md files are execution contracts, not knowledge bases. Every line must help an agent execute correctly with minimal context. AGENTS.md is temporary guidance, not permanent configuration: when a recurring issue has a fixable root cause in code or tooling (a lint rule, test, script, or structural change), prefer that fix and keep only the minimum instruction needed until the root cause is solved.

1. **Discover files and survey discoverability.** Find every agent instruction file in the repo:
   ```bash
   find . \( -name "AGENTS.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.local.md" \) 2>/dev/null | sort
   ```
   Also check `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` (applies to every session). For monorepos, include workspace-level files. Audit each level independently: root holds universal rules, child files hold directory-specific rules. Then survey source files to learn what is already discoverable: README, PROJECT.md, cursor rules (`.cursor/rules/` or `.cursorrules`), Copilot instructions (`.github/copilot-instructions.md`), GEMINI.md, CI/workflow files, package manager config, CONTRIBUTING.md, and `docs/`. Record what an agent can infer from these alone; anything discoverable need not be restated.
   - Done when: every instruction file is listed and the discoverability survey records what an agent can learn without AGENTS.md.

2. **Choose a mode.**
   - No agent instructions, or targeting a tool the repo is not wired for → **Setup** (Step 3), then **Writing from scratch** (Step 6), then **Audit** (Step 4).
   - File exists and the question is quality → **Audit** (Step 4).
   - File exists and is bloated (root over ~150 lines), stale, scored below target, long/generic/stale, or agents repeat avoidable mistakes → **Refactor** (Step 5).
   - Repo has convention docs and user wants a lean pointer file → **Lean** (Step 6, lean variant).
   - Done when: exactly one mode is selected and the entry step is identified.

3. **Setup: decide which files exist and which tool reads each.**
   - `AGENTS.md` at the repo root is the source of truth. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, Windsurf, and Zed all read it natively. Every other agent file is a pointer or tool-specific supplement, never a second copy. Two copies of a rule drift silently because nothing in the codebase contradicts either one.
   - Claude Code: nothing beyond AGENTS.md. Add `CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md` as a symlink only when a tool in use reads solely `CLAUDE.md`; a symlink keeps one source of truth where a copy would drift. Use `.claude/settings.json` for hooks and `CLAUDE.local.md` (gitignored) for personal overrides.
   - Codex: nothing beyond AGENTS.md.
   - Cursor: AGENTS.md covers prose. Add `.cursor/rules/*.mdc` only for rules needing Cursor glob scoping. Frontmatter is required; `alwaysApply: true` with empty `globs` duplicates AGENTS.md.
   - Check `.gitignore`: if agent config is ignored, decide per file whether it is personal (leave ignored) or repo knowledge (commit it). Do not put shared knowledge under `.claude/`; that path reads as Claude-only and is commonly gitignored.
   - The import trap: `@import` is Claude Code only. Codex and Cursor ignore `@import` lines without warning, so a rule behind an import is absent from most sessions while the file looks correct. Anything every tool must obey goes inline in AGENTS.md. Reserve `@import` for depth only Claude Code needs, never for safety, data-loss, or format-contract rules. `@import` chains stop resolving at 5 hops; deeper content silently disappears. `@import` lines do not evaluate inside code spans or fenced blocks.
   - Enforcement that survives tool choice: prefer, in order, a linter or formatter rule, a git hook (lefthook, husky) that fires whichever agent made the edit, a CI check, then tool-native hooks (`.claude/settings.json`, Cursor `hooks.json`). Tool-native hooks are the last rung because they cover one tool only. Move a prose rule down to an exit code whenever the check is mechanical, and delete the prose once the gate exists.
   - Done when: the file-to-tool mapping is decided and every tool's read path is confirmed.

4. **Audit: score each root file independently.** Exclude N/A checks from the denominator.
   - **Quick** (default): 12 checks, target ≥ 10/12. Borderline (8–9) or fail (≤7) escalates to full.
     1. Core run/test/build/lint commands exist when applicable
     2. Commands appear runnable and match project scripts/tooling
     3. Setup/bootstrap requirements are documented
     4. At least one project-specific gotcha is documented
     5. Gotchas include corrective action (what to do instead)
     6. Conventions that change implementation choices are explicit
     7. Every line passes the litmus test: removing it would cause the agent to make mistakes
     8. Root file avoids framework doc dumps/templates
     9. Linked paths and commands are current (not stale/dead)
     10. Non-universal detail is linked out, and anything every tool must obey stays inline
     11. Rules are phrased as the outcome wanted, with absolutes reserved for safety, data loss, format contracts, and observed failures
     12. Nothing restates harness or model default behavior, and no rule conflicts with a parent file or an installed skill
   - Full: 49 checks across five categories, target ≥ 91% of applicable points (grade A). Use when the quick audit fails, the file gates a high-risk repo, or full scoring is requested.
     - A. Commands and execution readiness (12): working dev/test/build/lint/deploy/migrate commands; copy-paste ready with no placeholders; match package manager and scripts; required env bootstrap including secondary runtimes; where to run commands (root/workspace); targeted test command with quiet flags for iteration; no duplicate or conflicting command variants.
     - B. Gotchas and repeated mistakes (10): at least one high-frequency failure mode; project-specific not generic; corrective action included; trigger context (when the rule applies); captures issue from PR/review feedback; ordering/dependency gotchas where order matters; data/env gotchas where setup mistakes cause failures; no vague advice like "be careful"; separates universal from edge-case rules; removes gotchas that no longer happen.
     - C. Conventions and decision boundaries (11): conventions that materially change implementation choices; naming/path conventions when CI/tooling depends on them; test strategy conventions (unit/e2e boundaries); links out non-universal detail while keeping must-obey rules inline; marks scope boundaries (monorepo root vs workspace); no restatements of what the agent or harness already does; rules name the condition that triggers them; emphasis markers (IMPORTANT, NEVER, YOU MUST) used sparingly on critical rules agents skip; outcome phrasing with absolutes only where the harmful-precision test clears; no rule contradicts a parent file, installed skill, or another section with precedence stated where overlap is deliberate; exemplar file paths named instead of prose descriptions.
     - D. Signal-to-noise and bloat control (9): root concise for repo complexity (60–150 lines for active app repos); no full framework documentation pasted inline; no copy-pasted full templates; no exhaustive file tree or every-file inventory; no long architecture deep dives in root; links to detail files for non-universal guidance; no duplicate guidance across sections; no content auto-memory owns (user preferences, personal feedback, evolving project status); each section passes the litmus test.
     - E. Currency and validation (7): referenced file paths exist; referenced tools/dependencies still in use; commands have been run or limitations documented; removed references to deleted folders/APIs; version-sensitive guidance is date/version scoped; clear maintenance loop (how to keep the file current); CLAUDE.local.md used for personal/gitignored overrides not mixed into shared AGENTS.md.
   - Grade mapping (earned / applicable): A ≥ 91%, B 76–<91%, C 59–<76%, D 39–<59%, F <39%.
   - Automatic fail (grade F regardless of score): commands are mostly broken/stale; instructions are primarily generic advice or restatements of default agent behavior; file is dominated by copied docs/templates rather than executable guidance.
   - **Two tests that catch how a line fails**: apply during audit and refactor:
     - Dead weight: "Would removing this cause the agent to make a mistake?" If no, cut it; bloat makes agents ignore the rules that matter.
     - Harmful precision: "Is this wrong on any plausible task in this repo?" A prohibition wrong one task in ten is still obeyed on that task, and the agent cannot tell it is the exception. State the desired outcome and let the surrounding code pick the path. `NEVER write comments` becomes `match the comment density of the file you are editing`. Absolutes still earn their place for safety, data loss, format contracts, and rules agents have actually been observed to break.
   - Done when: every root file has a score, grade, and issue list with proposed diffs.

5. **Refactor: for bloated, stale, or low-signal files.** Bound scope before mutation: identify the target AGENTS.md path(s), the root file and any module-local variants the user named. Do not create or edit a file outside this set.
   - Snapshot current line count before any edit.
   - Extract only what every task needs: run/test/build/lint commands, critical environment/setup requirements, high-frequency gotchas, conventions that change implementation choices. Everything else: link to a reference or delete.
   - Apply the **three-check admission gate** to each surviving line and each candidate line: (a) non-discoverable from repository files alone, (b) operationally significant: it changes commands, outcomes, or safety, (c) actionable: specific enough to execute. Omit anything that fails one check.
   - Delete first, add back only what earns its place. For every removed line, record one reason: `generic`, `duplicate`, `stale`, `moved` (to a reference), `reworded`, or `omitted` (unverifiable: cannot be grounded in a file actually read; never speculate or fabricate). This log makes the final report traceable, and `reworded` ke

Audit: score each root file independently. Exclude N/A checks from the denominator.

Quick (default): 12 checks, target ≥ 10/12. Borderline (8–9) or fail (≤7) escalates to full.
1. Core run/test/build/lint commands exist when applicable
2. Commands appear runnable and match project scripts/tooling
3. Setup/bootstrap requirements are documented
4. At least one project-specific gotcha is documented
5. Gotchas include corrective action (what to do instead)
6. Conventions that change implementation choices are explicit
7. Every line passes the litmus test: removing it would cause the agent to make mistakes
8. Root file avoids framework doc dumps/templates
9. Linked paths and commands are current (not stale/dead)
10. Non-universal detail is linked out, and anything every tool must obey stays inline
11. Rules are phrased as the outcome wanted, with absolutes reserved for safety, data loss, format contracts, and observed failures
12. Nothing restates harness or model default behavior, and no rule conflicts with a parent file or an installed skill
Full: 49 checks across five categories, target ≥ 91% of applicable points (grade A). Use when the quick audit fails, the file gates a high-risk repo, or full scoring is requested.
- A. Commands and execution readiness (12): working dev/test/build/lint/deploy/migrate commands; copy-paste ready with no placeholders; match package manager and scripts; required env bootstrap including secondary runtimes; where to run commands (root/workspace); targeted test command with quiet flags for iteration; no duplicate or conflicting command variants.
- B. Gotchas and repeated mistakes (10): at least one high-frequency failure mode; project-specific not generic; corrective action included; trigger context (when the rule applies); captures issue from PR/review feedback; ordering/dependency gotchas where order matters; data/env gotchas where setup mistakes cause failures; no vague advice like "be careful"; separates universal from edge-case rules; removes gotchas that no longer happen.
- C. Conventions and decision boundaries (11): conventions that materially change implementation choices; naming/path conventions when CI/tooling depends on them; test strategy conventions (unit/e2e boundaries); links out non-universal detail while keeping must-obey rules inline; marks scope boundaries (monorepo root vs workspace); no restatements of what the agent or harness already does; rules name the condition that triggers them; emphasis markers (IMPORTANT, NEVER, YOU MUST) used sparingly on critical rules agents skip; outcome phrasing with absolutes only where the harmful-precision test clears; no rule contradicts a parent file, installed skill, or another section with precedence stated where overlap is deliberate; exemplar file paths named instead of prose descriptions.
- D. Signal-to-noise and bloat control (9): root concise for repo complexity (60–150 lines for active app repos); no full framework documentation pasted inline; no copy-pasted full templates; no exhaustive file tree or every-file inventory; no long architecture deep dives in root; links to detail files for non-universal guidance; no duplicate guidance across sections; no content auto-memory owns (user preferences, personal feedback, evolving project status); each section passes the litmus test.
- E. Currency and validation (7): referenced file paths exist; referenced tools/dependencies still in use; commands have been run or limitations documented; removed references to deleted folders/APIs; version-sensitive guidance is date/version scoped; clear maintenance loop (how to keep the file current); CLAUDE.local.md used for personal/gitignored overrides not mixed into shared AGENTS.md.
Grade mapping (earned / applicable): A ≥ 91%, B 76–<91%, C 59–<76%, D 39–<59%, F <39%.
Automatic fail (grade F regardless of score): commands are mostly broken/stale; instructions are primarily generic advice or restatements of default agent behavior; file is dominated by copied docs/templates rather than executable guidance.
Two tests that catch how a line fails: apply during audit and refactor:
- Dead weight: "Would removing this cause the agent to make a mistake?" If no, cut it; bloat makes agents ignore the rules that matter.
- Harmful precision: "Is this wrong on any plausible task in this repo?" A prohibition wrong one task in ten is still obeyed on that task, and the agent cannot tell it is the exception. State the desired outcome and let the surrounding code pick the path. NEVER write comments becomes match the comment density of the file you are editing. Absolutes still earn their place for safety, data loss, format contracts, and rules agents have actually been observed to break.
Done when: every root file has a score, grade, and issue list with proposed diffs.
