At a glance

Generate baseline CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md instruction files for a project.

  • A repo is missing instruction files
  • SKILL.md covers What this skill does and How to run
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Needs standardized agent guidance

What it does

Agent Instructions Generator is an agent skill from CurryTang/Amadeus. Generate baseline CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md instruction files for a project. Use when a repo is missing instruction files or needs standardized agent guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 180 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Your personal AI research assistant that automatically reads, summarizes, organizes, and acts on academic papers.

When your agent uses it

  • A repo is missing instruction files
  • Needs standardized agent guidance

Example prompts

  • “/agent-instructions-generator”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 72f0e2f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Agent Instructions Generator loads about 179 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 36 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~179

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 36 words (~179 tokens).
