Use when creating or updating AGENTS.md files, .github/copilot-instructions.md, or other AI agent rule files, onboarding AI agents to a project, standardizing agent documentation, or when anyone mentions AGENTS.md, agent rules, project onboarding, or codebase documentation for AI agents.
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
# AGENTS.md Generator Skill
Generate and maintain AGENTS.md files following the [agents.md convention](https://agents.md/). AGENTS.md is FOR AGENTS, not humans.
## When to Use
- Creating or updating AGENTS.md for new/existing projects
- **Scaffolding a new repository** — ship AGENTS.md with the initial commits; retrofitting later needs full re-verification
- Standardizing agent documentation across repositories
- Checking AGENTS.md freshness after code changes
- Onboarding AI agents to an unfamiliar codebase
## Scripts
Call every script by its full path: `bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/<name> PATH`. Calling one relative to the working directory is not covered by the frontmatter rule and raises a permission prompt per call.
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `generate-agents.sh PATH` | Generate AGENTS.md files |
| `validate-structure.sh PATH` | Validate structure compliance |
| `check-freshness.sh PATH` | Check if files are outdated |
| `verify-content.sh PATH` | Verify documented files/commands match codebase |
| `verify-commands.sh PATH` | Verify documented commands execute |
| `score-agents.sh PATH` | Grade AGENTS.md quality, worst-first |

How to install
mdr add netresearch/agent-rules-skill/agent-rules@sha256:00303bcca1698303The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.16.5, 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.
