agents-md

agents-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from klh/speedy-claude. It costs 59 tokens per session (725 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill for creating and maintaining AGENTS.md, the project file that gives coding agents concise instructions. It also covers linking that file for tools that expect CLAUDE.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating the instruction file, discovering local skills, documenting package commands, adding commit attribution rules, and maintaining related agent documentation.
Why use it?
It keeps agent instructions short, current, and focused on project-specific rules instead of repeating information agents already know.

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 B, and why

agents-md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Maintaining AGENTS.md

AGENTS.md is the canonical agent-facing documentation. Keep it minimal—agents are capable and don't need hand-holding.

File Setup

  1. Create AGENTS.md at project root
  2. Create symlink: ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md

Before Writing

Discover local skills to reference:

find .claude/skills -name "SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null
ls plugins/*/skills/*/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null

Read each skill's frontmatter to understand when to reference it.

Writing Rules

  • Headers + bullets - No paragraphs
  • Code blocks - For commands and templates
  • Reference, don't duplicate - Point to skills: "Use db-migrate skill. See .claude/skills/db-migrate/SKILL.md"
  • No filler - No intros, conclusions, or pleasantries
  • Trust capabilities - Omit obvious context

Required Sections

Package Manager

Which tool and key commands only:

## Package Manager

Use **pnpm**: `pnpm install`, `pnpm dev`, `pnpm test`

Commit Attribution

Always include this section. Agents should use their own identity:

## Commit Attribution

AI commits MUST include:

Co-Authored-By: (the agent model's name and attribution byline)

Example: `Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 <[email protected]>`

Key Conventions

Project-specific patterns agents must follow. Keep brief.

Local Skills

Reference each discovered skill:

## Database

Use `db-migrate` skill for schema changes. See `.claude/skills/db-migrate/SKILL.md`

## Testing

Use `write-tests` skill. See `.claude/skills/write-tests/SKILL.md`

Optional Sections

Add only if truly needed:

  • API route patterns (show template, not explanation)
  • CLI commands (table format)
  • File naming conventions

Anti-Patterns

Omit these:

  • "Welcome to..." or "This document explains..."
  • "You should..." or "Remember to..."
  • Content duplicated from skills (reference instead)
  • Obvious instructions ("run tests", "write clean code")
  • Explanations of why (just say what)
  • Long prose paragraphs

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.
