Actually ran the bundled generator against a real Astro/TypeScript project: it produced a structured root plus scoped AGENTS.md pulling real npm scripts from package.json, but it also recommended `npx eslint`/`npx prettier`/`npx tsc` commands the project has no dependency on, and the 'MANDATORY' verify-commands.sh step silently found nothing to check because its regex only matches backtick-wrapped commands, not the plain-table format the generator itself outputs.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 3/5

What Agent Rules (AGENTS.md Generator) does

Generates and maintains AGENTS.md files (the agents.md convention) by detecting language, framework, and build tools, then producing root and per-directory scoped agent-instruction files covering commands, golden samples, and boundaries. Use it when creating or updating AGENTS.md, onboarding an AI coding agent to an unfamiliar repo, or checking whether existing agent docs have drifted from the code.
