What it does
Agents Md Improver is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Maintain AGENTS.md-based project instructions for tools that support AGENTS.md. Use for instruction audits, session learnings, AGENTS.md updates, or migrating useful CLAUDE.md rules into a shared instruction source. Not for general docs, code review, runtime debugging, or global memory unless asked.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/repository-audit.md` and `references/session-learning.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Customer support. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78497e5. 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 markdown and 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
Agents Md Improver loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 664 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Maintain AGENTS.md-based project instructions for tools that support AGENTS.md.

AGENTS.md Improver
Overview
Maintain concise project instructions for AGENTS.md-compatible tools such as Codex, Copilot, Cursor, and similar coding agents.
Core principle: Find the effective instruction source -> extract durable learnings -> propose compact diffs -> apply approved changes only.
Announce at start: "I'm using the agents-md-improver skill to maintain concise AGENTS.md project instructions."
Prerequisites
- A repository or workspace with
AGENTS.md, nestedAGENTS.md, or compatible instruction files. - A user request to audit, improve, revise, migrate, or capture learnings into project instructions.
Workflow
Phase 1: Identify Instruction Targets
Find instruction files from the repository root:
find . \( -name "AGENTS.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name ".claude.local.md" \) 2>/dev/null | head -50Use these targeting rules:
./AGENTS.md: primary shared project instructions for AGENTS.md-compatible tools.- Nested
AGENTS.md: module-specific instructions; update only when the learning applies to that subtree. - Include-only
AGENTS.md: if it contains only an include such as@./CLAUDE.md, read the target and treat that target as the effective source. Update the target only when the repository intentionally shares one instruction file across tools. CLAUDE.md: Claude Code-specific instructions, or a shared source whenAGENTS.mdintentionally points to it. Do not update it just because it exists..claude.local.md: personal Claude Code local notes. Do not create or edit it for shared AGENTS.md project memory.- User/global instruction files, such as
~/.codex/AGENTS.md: update only when the user explicitly asks for global behavior. .project_context/: historical exploration, plans, and execution summaries. Use it for trace records, not agent steering instructions.
If no AGENTS.md exists, propose creating the narrowest useful one, usually ./AGENTS.md.
Phase 2: Choose The Mode
Choose exactly one primary mode before scanning or proposing edits:
- Repository Audit Mode: use when the user asks whether instructions are stale, incomplete, inaccurate, outdated, or should be refreshed against the current repository. Then read references/repository-audit.md.
- Session Learning Mode: use when the user asks to capture this session's learnings, revise instructions from the current conversation, or preserve newly discovered repo-specific behavior. Then read references/session-learning.md.
- Migration Mode: use when moving useful guidance from
CLAUDE.mdor another tool-specific instruction file into an AGENTS.md-compatible source. Reuse Session Learning Mode for extraction rules, but keep tool-only slash commands, hooks, or UI shortcuts in tool-specific files unless the user asks to make them shared.
Phase 3: Draft Compact Updates
AGENTS.md is prompt context. Prefer dense, operational bullets.
Good format:
- Use `rg` for repo-wide search; fall back only if unavailable.
- Run `pnpm test -- --runInBand` for flaky integration tests in this repo.
- Keep API compatibility normalization in the service layer unless a spec explicitly changes request validation.Avoid adding:
- generic engineering advice;
- one-off debugging details unlikely to recur;
- unverified assumptions or stale guesses;
- long explanations, logs, secrets, tokens, private URLs, or machine-specific credentials;
- duplicates of existing instructions.
Show full SKILL.md (271 more words)Show less
Phase 4: Propose Before Editing
Always show proposed changes before modifying files. Group proposals by target file.
Use this format:
### Update: ./AGENTS.md
Why: <one-line reason this helps future agent sessions>
```diff
+ <concise addition>
```If multiple files could be updated, explain the placement tradeoff:
- root
AGENTS.mdfor project-wide behavior; - nested
AGENTS.mdfor module-local behavior; .project_context/for historical records;CLAUDE.mdonly for Claude Code-specific behavior or an intentional shared source.
Ask for approval before editing. If the user already explicitly said to apply changes, proceed with the smallest safe patch.
Phase 5: Apply Carefully
When approved:
- use minimal patches and preserve the file's existing organization;
- insert under an existing relevant heading when possible;
- create a short new heading only if no suitable section exists;
- do not reorder unrelated content;
- do not remove or rewrite existing instructions unless the user asked for cleanup or the instruction is clearly obsolete;
- after editing, re-read the changed section and report exactly what changed.
Common Mistakes
- Treating
.project_context/as agent steering context. It is for traceability, not instructions that should load every session. - Updating
CLAUDE.mdfor a shared AGENTS.md request when the repo does not intentionally share one source file. - Missing an include-only
AGENTS.mdand patching the wrapper instead of the effective source. - Capturing logs, secrets, private URLs, or one-off debugging notes as durable instructions.
- Adding broad best practices that any competent agent already knows.
Output
For Repository Audit Mode, provide the quality report format from references/repository-audit.md.
For Session Learning Mode or Migration Mode, provide:
- files changed;
- concise summary of additions;
- any skipped proposals and why.
References
- repository-audit.md - Repository scan scope, quality criteria, and report template for stale or incomplete instructions.
- session-learning.md - Session learning extraction rules and concise update proposal template.
