Agents Md Templates — AI skill for Claude Code

The AGENTS.md Starter Kit

One instruction file that works across the major coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider, Zed, and 20+ more. Set it up in 5 minutes. No lock-in, just markdown in the right places.

`AGENTS.md` is an open standard (stewarded by the Linux Foundation, used in [60,000+ repos](https://github.com/search?q=path%3AAGENTS.md&type=code)). This kit gives you the templates, the per-tool bridges, and the research behind both.

The companion repo, **[claude-md-templates](https://github.com/abhishekray07/claude-md-templates)**, goes deep on the Claude-Code-only layer (skills, subagents, hooks, `.claude/rules/`). Use this repo for the universal file; use that one to go deeper on Claude Code.

Build it in one line

Paste this to your coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI…) **from inside your project**:

Read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekray07/agents-md-templates/main/templates/generic.md and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekray07/agents-md-templates/main/principles.md. Then write an AGENTS.md for THIS project: detect the stack, fill in the real build/test/lint commands, the directory structure, and 3-5 conventions you infer from the code. Keep it under 150 lines and skip anything a linter already enforces. If an AGENTS.md already exists, update it in place and show me the diff — do not overwrite it. Then download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekray07/agents-md-templates/main/adapters/setup.sh, show it to me, and run it with --dry-run first so I can confirm the bridges before anything is written.

It reads the standard, writes an `AGENTS.md` tuned to your codebase, and runs the bridge script so the same file works in every tool. Review what it generates — the best `AGENTS.md` files are hand-tuned, not auto-dumped.
