Creates/updates a target repo's AGENTS.md by exploring real repo conventions, supports nested monorepo placement, closes out via agentsmd-audit, and composes into provider-adapter-author for provider-file reconciliation. Completes the three-skill trio from ADR-0012.
1.2 KiB
agentsmd-author
Create or update a target repo's AGENTS.md file(s) by exploring the repo for real conventions.
What it does
Explores a target repo (package manager scripts, Makefile/task runner, CI config, linter config, existing docs) and writes or updates AGENTS.md with only verified commands and conventions — never invented ones. Supports nested monorepo placement, following the agents.md standard's nearest-file-wins precedence. Closes every run by invoking agentsmd-audit inline, and hands off to provider-adapter-author when an existing provider-specific file (CLAUDE.md, etc.) now duplicates content AGENTS.md owns.
Before you start
The agentsmd-audit skill must be available (co-installed in the core plugin) — this skill invokes it as a mandatory closeout step.
Usage
/agentsmd-author
Provide the target repo root (defaults to the current directory) and, if relevant, which subdirectory should get a nested AGENTS.md.
