creating-agents-mdGuides writing an agents.md project-context file: plain markdown with no frontmatter, focused on what an AI coding assistant cannot already know.
An agents.md file gives AI coding assistants project-specific context, and this skill describes the simplest version of the format: plain markdown only, no YAML frontmatter, no required structure, normally a single file in the project root.
The agent is told to include information the model cannot already know, such as the project overview and purpose, architecture decisions, tech stack, file layout, coding conventions, development workflow, testing approach and domain knowledge, and to skip general programming advice, language syntax and framework basics. Worked examples cover a backend API project and a frontend component library, a table lists common mistakes such as adding frontmatter or padding with generic advice, and a short comparison shows concise writing next to verbose writing.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f993e6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Creating agents.md Files loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 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.
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.

# TaskMaster Development Guide
## Project Overview
TaskMaster is a task management application for remote teams, built with real-time collaboration features and offline-first architecture.
## Architecture
### Frontend
- React 18 with TypeScript
- Vite for build tooling
- Zustand for state management
- React Query for server state
- Tailwind CSS for styling
### Backend
- Node.js with Express
- PostgreSQL with Prisma ORM
- WebSocket for real-time features
- Redis for caching and pub/sub
- JWT for authentication
## Coding Conventions
- Use TypeScript strict mode
- Functional components with hooks (no class components)
- Server components by default in Next.js
- Colocate tests with source files (*.test.tsx)
- Use Zod for runtime validation
## File Structure
\`\`\`
src/
components/ # Reusable UI components
features/ # Feature-based modules
hooks/ # Custom React hooks
lib/ # Utility functions
pages/ # Route pages
types/ # TypeScript types
\`\`\`
## Development Workflow
1. Create feature branch from `main`
2. Write tests first (TDD)
3. Implement feature
4. Run `pnpm test` and `pnpm lint`
5. Create PR with description
6. Merge after approval
## Testing
- Use Vitest for unit tests
- Use Playwright for E2E tests
- Aim for 80% coverage on new code
- Mock external dependenciesFocus on project-specific information AI doesn't already know:

# Payment Gateway API
## Overview
RESTful API for payment processing with support for multiple payment providers.
## Tech Stack
- Node.js 20.x
- Express
- PostgreSQL 15
- Redis for rate limiting
- Stripe and PayPal integrations
## API Design
### Endpoints
All endpoints follow REST conventions:
- `GET /api/payments` - List payments
- `GET /api/payments/:id` - Get payment details
- `POST /api/payments` - Create payment
- `PUT /api/payments/:id` - Update payment
- `DELETE /api/payments/:id` - Cancel payment
### Error Handling
Return consistent error format:
\`\`\`json
{
"error": {
"code": "PAYMENT_FAILED",
"message": "Payment could not be processed",
"details": {...}
}
}
\`\`\`
## Security
- All endpoints require JWT authentication
- Rate limiting: 100 requests/minute per IP
- Input validation with Zod schemas
- SQL injection prevention via Prisma
- PCI DSS compliance for payment data
## Database
### Conventions
- Use snake_case for table/column names
- Add timestamps (created_at, updated_at) to all tables
- Use UUIDs for primary keys
- Foreign keys follow `{table}_id` pattern# Design System Components
A React component library following Atomic Design principles.
## Component Structure
All components follow this structure:
\`\`\`
ComponentName/
ComponentName.tsx # Main component
ComponentName.test.tsx # Tests
ComponentName.stories.tsx # Storybook stories
index.ts # Exports
\`\`\`
## Styling
- Use Tailwind CSS utility classes
- Create custom classes in `styles/components/` for complex components
- Follow BEM naming for custom classes
- Responsive by default (mobile-first)
## TypeScript
\`\`\`typescript
// Good: Explicit prop types
interface ButtonProps {
variant: 'primary' | 'secondary' | 'ghost';
size?: 'sm' | 'md' | 'lg';
disabled?: boolean;
onClick?: () => void;
children: React.ReactNode;
}
export function Button({ variant, size = 'md', ...props }: ButtonProps) {
return <button className={cn(variants[variant], sizes[size])} {...props} />;
}
\`\`\`
## Accessibility
- All interactive elements must be keyboard accessible
- Use semantic HTML (button, nav, main, etc.)
- Include ARIA labels for icon-only buttons
- Test with screen readers
- Maintain minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratioFree-form markdown including:
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Adding YAML frontmatter | No frontmatter allowed - plain markdown only |
| Generic best practices | Focus on project-specific patterns |
| Verbose explanations | Be concise, AI already knows general concepts |
| Language tutorials | Skip basics, focus on project conventions |
| Missing context | Include domain knowledge and business logic |
Concise (Good):
## Testing
- Vitest for unit tests
- Playwright for E2E
- 80% coverage target
- Mock external dependenciesVerbose (Bad):
## Testing
When you are writing tests, it's important to understand that we use Vitest
for our unit tests because it's fast and modern. For end-to-end testing,
we have chosen to use Playwright because it provides excellent cross-browser
support and has a great developer experience...Typically in project root:

Guides writing an agents.md project-context file: plain markdown with no frontmatter, focused on what an AI coding assistant cannot already know. md file gives AI coding assistants project-specific context, and this skill describes the simplest version of the format: plain markdown only, no YAML frontmatter, no required structure, normally a single file in the project root.
Creating agents.md Files fits situations like: writing a new agents.md for a project; cleaning up an agents.md that has frontmatter or generic advice; deciding what project context an AI assistant actually needs.
Run `npx skills add pr-pm/prpm --skill creating-agents-md -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/creating-agents-md in pr-pm/prpm) into .claude/skills/creating-agents-md in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add pr-pm/prpm --skill creating-agents-md -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/creating-agents-md in pr-pm/prpm) into .agents/skills/creating-agents-md in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add pr-pm/prpm --skill creating-agents-md -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/creating-agents-md, .gemini/skills/creating-agents-md, .github/skills/creating-agents-md and .opencode/skills/creating-agents-md in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Creating agents.md Files is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Creating agents.md Files is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
