How the habit works.
You don't have to.
When does it start? How does it check its work? What does it remember?
One run, step by step.
Then it stops.
Stops after one root file and up to 3 nested files per run.
- 01
Inspect the repo
Your agent reads lock files, package.json, Makefile, CI workflows and docs such as CONTRIBUTING.md.
- 02
Choose scope
It keeps root AGENTS.md for defaults and nested files only where rules differ.
- 03
Write small
It updates only sections that add non-obvious value, in tables and bullets.
- 04
Verify
It checks each path and command really exists.
- 05
Commit
It commits the change so the history shows what moved.
What it may do.
Nothing more.
It writes only in its own folder and asks you before anything goes out.
- Writes only inAGENTS.md, **/AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md
- Talks tono outside service
- Sendsnothing
- Your OKNothing goes out, so it needs no OK.
Is it for you?
Use it when it fits.
Read both lists. If the left one sounds like you, the AGENTS.md skill helps.
Use it when
- ✓ You set up a new repo for agents
- ✓ AGENTS.md is long or stale
- ✓ You want CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md in sync
Skip it when
- – You need full contributor docs
- – The repo has no build or test commands
AGENTS.md skill, answered.
Does it keep two copies?
No. CLAUDE.md is a symlink to AGENTS.md, never a second copy.
How long should the file be?
The target is under 60 lines, never more than 100.
How do I install the AGENTS.md skill?
Copy the prompt at the top into your agent. It installs the skill from getsentry/skills and sets up the habit. Or run npx skills add getsentry/skills --skill agents-md.
Is the AGENTS.md skill free?
Yes. It is published under Apache-2.0. Habit is free too.
AGENTS.md. Now as a habit.
