agents-md-writer

为代码库创建、更新并优化 AGENTS.md 文件。每当包含 AGENTS.md 的仓库中运行任何命令时，此技能都会自动触发——即使 AGENTS.md 并未被显式引用。当用户需要撰写代理说明、编写仓库交接指南，或制定项目操作手册时，或者当您需要将 AGENTS.md 与当前代码保持一致时，又或是只要仓库中存在任何 AGENTS.md 文件（务必加以核实），此技能都可派上用场。在起草提交信息时，需严格遵循固定的章节顺序、80 字符的行宽限制（并注明例外情况），同时践行最佳实践与行业标准，并采用 Conventional Commits 格式来规范提交信息。每次代码变更后，务必进行自我审核，以确保 AGENTS.md 始终与最新代码保持同步。

description: >-
  Create, update, and refine AGENTS.md files for a codebase. Always
  trigger when any command runs in a repo that contains AGENTS.md, even if
  AGENTS.md is not referenced. Use when asked to write agent instructions,
  repo handoff guides, or project operating manuals, when aligning
  AGENTS.md with the current code, or whenever any AGENTS.md exists
  anywhere in the repo (must verify). Enforce a fixed section order,
  80-character line limits (with documented exceptions), best practices
  and industry standards, and Conventional Commits when drafting commit
  messages. Always run a self-audit after code changes to keep AGENTS.md
  current.

AGENTS.md authoring and maintenance

Purpose and scope

  • •Create and maintain an accurate, thorough, and current AGENTS.md.
  • •Use the references bundled with this skill. They are not part of the target repo and must still be followed.
  • •Use no assumptions. Every statement must be verified against the codebase, configuration, or explicit user input.
  • •If verification is not possible, mark the item as "Verification needed" and explain what is missing.
  • •Always keep AGENTS.md aligned with the codebase. If there is a mismatch, update AGENTS.md to match the code.

Hard requirements

  • •Follow the fixed section order in references/agents-md-template.md. Do not reorder sections.
  • •Keep lines to 80 characters, with exceptions only for: URLs, code blocks, tables, hashes, or unbreakable commands. Document each exception inline.
  • •Include an explicit statement that best practices and industry standards must be followed where applicable.
  • •Include a "Refining Existing AGENTS.md" section with steps for improving clarity and AI consumption.
  • •Include a "Maintenance" section that documents the self-audit loop.
  • •Always scan AGENTS.md for update notes or logs and remove them.
  • •Never append or preserve update notes or logs in AGENTS.md.
  • •Require a "Tracked Files Overview" section in every AGENTS.md.
    • •Place it immediately after "Repository Overview" in the fixed order.
    • •List every tracked file in directory order with a concise purpose.
    • •Keep it updated whenever AGENTS.md changes or tracked files change.
    • •If a file purpose cannot be verified, mark "Verification needed".
    • •Keep entries short and atomic, with documented line exceptions.
  • •Always use this skill whenever any AGENTS.md file is referenced, regardless of repository or directory.
  • •Always verify whether any AGENTS.md exists anywhere in the repo, and use this skill when one is found.
  • •Treat any command that runs in a repo with an AGENTS.md file as a trigger to use this skill, even if AGENTS.md is not referenced.
  • •After any non-AGENTS.md file change in such a repo, re-run the self-audit loop and update AGENTS.md if it is out of sync.
  • •Always use this skill's references for requirements and format guidance, even when the target repo does not contain those reference files.

Required references

  • •Read references/agents-md-template.md for the exact section order and required headings. This reference is mandatory, even when the target repo does not contain it.
  • •Read references/agents-md-checklist.md to ensure completeness and accuracy against the repo. This reference is mandatory, even when the target repo does not contain it.
  • •Read references/agents-md-self-audit.md and apply the audit loop after any code change. This reference is mandatory, even when the target repo does not contain it.
  • •Read references/conventional-commits.md when drafting commit messages. This reference is mandatory, even when the target repo does not contain it.

No-assumptions rule

  • •Do not infer or guess commands, versions, paths, or workflows.
  • •Do not copy common patterns unless they are confirmed in the repo.
  • •If a section requires information you cannot verify, add a "Verification needed" note with the exact source that must be checked.
  • •Prefer fewer, correct statements over more, speculative content.

Source of truth collection

  1. •Locate existing AGENTS.md and read it first.
  2. •Identify the repository root and confirm it.
  3. •Inventory files that define workflows:
    • •Build and package scripts.
    • •Test and lint configurations.
    • •CI/CD definitions.
    • •Runtime or version managers.
    • •Service definitions and infrastructure configs.
  4. •Confirm the authoritative commands from real configs or scripts.
  5. •Extract concrete versions from config files, not assumptions.
  6. •Note any missing or ambiguous information.

Writing workflow (step-by-step)

  1. •Start from the template.
    • •Use references/agents-md-template.md as the skeleton.
    • •Keep the heading order unchanged.
  2. •Fill each section using verified repo facts.
    • •Provide exact file paths and command invocations.
    • •Keep bullets short and action-oriented.
  3. •Document constraints and exceptions.
    • •For any 80-character exception, explain why it is necessary.
  4. •Add the best practices statement.
    • •Use explicit language that best practices and industry standards must be followed where applicable.
  5. •Add the refining section.
    • •Include the steps for improving and optimizing AGENTS.md for AI.
  6. •Add the maintenance section.
    • •Include the self-audit loop without change-log guidance.
    • •Require a scan to remove update notes or logs.
  7. •Validate the document against the checklist.
    • •Use references/agents-md-checklist.md.
