Create and maintain AGENTS.md files for project onboarding and grounding. Use when initialized in a new project, when project structure changes significantly, or when creating subfolder-level AGENTS.md files for complex monorepos.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Agent Onboarding Generate `AGENTS.md` files that ground agents in project structure -- not in volatile state. ## Commands **Create a new AGENTS.md:** ```bash /agent-onboarding create ``` **Update an existing AGENTS.md after structural changes:** ```bash /agent-onboarding update ``` **Create or update AGENTS.md for a subfolder (monorepo):** ```bash /agent-onboarding subfolder <path> ``` ## Philosophy: Catalog to Compass `AGENTS.md` is a navigation map, not a snapshot of current state. It answers "where is X?" and "how do I do Y?" -- not "what are we working on today?" ### Directory map, not content inventory Show where things live. Directory structure is stable; contents change. Agents can `ls` to see what's inside. - Don't: "Dashboard components (currently 12 files, 3 pending refactor)" - Do: "`src/dashboard/components/` -- run `ls` to see them" ### Process, not state Document how artifacts flow through their lifecycle, not their current status. - Don't: "API auth refactor (50% done), dashboard redesign (in review)" - Do: "Add work to TODO.md -> check off when done -> archive -> repeat" ### Stable infrastructure, not ephemeral status …

How to install
mdr add andrewbrown-usda/aigb-skills-usda/agent-onboarding@sha256:088e582f6a31a080The line at the top of this page pins the label v1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
