What this skill does
Install https://github.com/TheRealSeanDonahoe/agents-md into this project. 1. Fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRealSeanDonahoe/agents-md/main/AGENTS.md and save it as ./AGENTS.md at the project root. If AGENTS.md already exists, stop and show me the diff before overwriting. 2. Symlink CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md to AGENTS.md so Claude Code and Gemini CLI read the same file. Use the right command for my OS (ln -s on macOS/Linux, New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink on Windows). If symlinks fail, fall back to copying the file. If CLAUDE.md or GEMINI.md already exist with content, do not overwrite — prepend @AGENTS.md as the first line and leave the rest intact. 3. Open the new AGENTS.md, find section 10 (Project context), and fill in only what you can verify by reading this codebase: stack, build/test/lint commands from package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, or Makefile, and source/test directory layout. Leave anything you can't confirm as TODO. 4. Do not touch section 11 — it stays empty by design. 5. When done, tell me to restart this session so the file loads. bash Download AGENTS.md curl -o AGENTS.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRealSeanDonahoe/agents-md/main/AGENTS.md Symlink for Claude Code and Gemini CLI (macOS/Linux) ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md ln -s AGENTS.md GEMINI.md powershell Windows (PowerShell — run as admin or with Developer Mode enabled) curl -o AGENTS.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheRealSeanDonahoe/agents-md/main/AGENTS.md New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path CLAUDE.md -Target AGENTS.md New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path GEMINI.md -Target AGENTS.md powershell Windows — fallback if symlinks unavailable Copy-Item AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md Copy-Item AGENTS.md GEMINI.md markdown 10. …
