agents-md-manager

agents-md-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from espennilsen/pi. It costs 48 tokens per session (864 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for checking and maintaining AGENTS.md files across coding projects. These files hold project-specific instructions and context for coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit projects, generate an AGENTS.md file for a new project, refresh stale sections, or lint existing files. It can also check related setup folders such as .pi and td.
Why use it?
It helps find projects with missing or outdated guidance, or with only part of their agent setup in place. This reduces the chance that an agent works without knowing a project’s conventions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agents-md-manager scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md Manager

Maintain AGENTS.md project context files across all ~/Dev projects.

Available Operations

1. Audit — Cross-project health check

Scan all projects and report AGENTS.md / .pi/ / td status:

# Use the project_init tool in batch mode

Use project_init with action: "batch" to get a full overview. Then provide a table:

Project Stack AGENTS.md .pi/ td Status

Flag projects that:

  • Have code but no AGENTS.md (needs init)
  • Have AGENTS.md but no .pi/ or td (partially set up)
  • Are fully ready ✅

2. Generate — Create AGENTS.md for a project

Use project_init with action: "detect" first to preview, then action: "init" to create.

After auto-generation, review and enhance the output by:

  • Reading README.md for project description and purpose
  • Checking package.json scripts for accurate quick-start commands
  • Looking at src/ structure for meaningful directory descriptions
  • Adding project-specific conventions found in configs (ESLint rules, Prettier settings)
  • Adding deployment info if found (Dockerfile, CI workflows, deploy scripts)

3. Update — Refresh specific sections

When a project has changed significantly:

  1. Read current AGENTS.md
  2. Run project_init with action: "detect" to get fresh stack profile
  3. Compare detected state against documented state
  4. Update only stale sections, preserving manual edits in other sections

Key sections to check:

  • Stack: Dependencies changed?
  • Quick Start: New scripts added/removed?
  • Directory Layout: New top-level dirs?
  • Conventions: Linting/formatting tools changed?
  • Key Files: New config files?

Use the edit tool for surgical updates — don't rewrite the entire file.

4. Sync Check — Detect drift

Compare AGENTS.md claims against reality:

# Check if referenced directories exist
# Verify scripts in package.json match what's documented
# Confirm referenced config files exist
# Check if new top-level dirs aren't documented

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
