Create Project Instructions

Create Project Context AGENTS

Purpose

Generate project-context AGENTS.md files with required sections, role definitions, command namespace controls, and validation-ready structure.

When To Use

• Use this skill when the task is to create or regenerate project-context AGENTS.md.
• Use this skill when project context must include role/phase/style defaults.
• Do not use this skill for user-context instruction generation.

How to Invoke

Load or attach this file's contents into your AI session to activate the workflow (paste, upload, or reference with #file:skills/create-project-instructions/SKILL.md in VS Code Copilot Chat). In Claude Projects, add it to project knowledge. See Invoking Skills in the README for full platform guidance.

Required Inputs

• Project name, description, and current phase.
• Tech stack, architecture, and repository structure.
• Roles, default session state, and command namespace.
• Objectives, testing strategy, and documentation standards.

Workflow

1. Run phased discovery using references/discovery-phases.md.
2. Apply required output schema from references/output-schema.md.
3. Build command and role structures using:
   • references/command-template.md
   • references/role-template.md
4. Apply artifact/summary contract from references/output-format.md.
5. Stamp <!-- spec_version: 1.5.0 --> as an HTML comment at the top of the generated AGENTS.md.
6. Validate completeness using references/quality-checklist.md before final output.

Output Expectations

• One complete AGENTS.md file with all required project-context sections.
• Session-state and command-reference elements are fully populated.
• Core project-context required-section completeness is enforced through AGENTS structure.
• Role definitions and examples are project-specific and actionable.
• Output remains provider-neutral.
• Output contract and summary format follow references/output-format.md.

Resources

• Discovery workflow: references/discovery-phases.md
• Output schema: references/output-schema.md
• Command template: references/command-template.md
• Role templates: references/role-template.md
• Output contract: references/output-format.md
• Quality checklist: references/quality-checklist.md
• Structure baseline: ../../templates/AGENTS_template.md
• Example reference: ../../AGENTS.md

Constraints And Safety

• Keep recommendations tied to project scope.
• Avoid placeholders in final command examples unless explicitly unresolved.
• Use relative paths for references.
• Do not introduce provider-specific assumptions.
