200 Agents Md

jabrena/200-agents-md

Use when you need to generate an AGENTS.md file for a Java repository — covering project conventions, tech stack, file structure, commands, Git workflow, and contributor boundaries — through a modular, step-based interactive process that adapts to your specific project needs. This should trigger for requests such as Create AGENTS.md; Update AGENTS.md file; Add agent instructions; Generate contributor instructions for Java agents; Document repository conventions in AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md Generator for Java repositories

Generate a comprehensive AGENTS.md file for Java repositories through a modular, step-based interactive process that covers role definition, tech stack, file structure, commands, Git workflow, and contributor boundaries. This is an interactive SKILL.

What is covered in this Skill?

AGENTS.md generation for Java repositories of any complexity
Role and expertise definition for AI agents and contributors
Tech stack documentation: language, build tool, frameworks, pipelines
File structure mapping with read/write boundaries
Command catalogue for build/test/deploy/run workflows
Git workflow conventions: branching strategy, commit message format
Contributor boundaries using ✅ Always do / ⚠ Ask first / 🚫 Never do formatting

Constraints

No Maven validation is required before generating AGENTS.md. Review the project structure and existing documentation before starting to provide accurate answers during Step 1.

BEFORE STARTING: Review the project structure and existing documentation to provide accurate answers during Step 1
BEFORE APPLYING: Read the reference for detailed good/bad examples, constraints, and safeguards for each AGENTS.md generation pattern
EDGE CASE: If the user goal is ambiguous, stop and ask a clarifying question before editing files or running project-wide commands
EDGE CASE: If required context, files, credentials, or tools are missing, report the blocker explicitly and ask whether to proceed with setup or fallback guidance
EDGE CASE: If requested changes conflict with project constraints or safety boundaries, explain the conflict and ask for user confirmation on the preferred trade-off

When to use this skill

Create AGENTS.md
Update AGENTS.md file
Add agent instructions
Generate contributor instructions for Java agents
Document repository conventions in AGENTS.md

Workflow

Review repository context before drafting

Inspect project structure and existing documentation to prepare accurate responses for the AGENTS.md discovery phase.

Read AGENTS generation reference

Read references/200-agents-md.md and follow its generation patterns and safeguards.

Run interactive requirements capture

Gather role, tech stack, commands, workflow, and boundaries in a modular step-based conversation.

Generate AGENTS.md artifact

Create AGENTS.md with ✅ Always do / ⚠ Ask first / 🚫 Never do boundaries and repository-specific conventions.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
