How does the skill handle local skills?

It automatically searches your project's .claude/skills directory and references them within the documentation, ensuring agents know which specialized capabilities are available.

Why does this skill link AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.md?

It creates a symbolic link to ensure compatibility across different AI tools and environments that may specifically look for either filename as the primary source of instructions.

What documentation style does this skill enforce?

It mandates a minimal style using only headers, bullet points, and code blocks, strictly prohibiting long paragraphs or filler content to maximize the agent's context window efficiency.

How does it handle commit attribution?

The skill includes a mandatory 'Commit Attribution' section that instructs agents to use a specific 'Co-Authored-By' trailer in their git commits for clear identity tracking.

What is the purpose of AGENTS.md?

AGENTS.md serves as the canonical instruction file for AI agents working on your project, providing essential context, rules, and local skill references in a concise format.
