About this skill
What it does. Analyses a repository's structure, scripts, CI configuration and documentation, then creates a root AGENTS.md with project context, setup, development, testing, style and build guidance. It adds relevant monorepo, security, pull request and troubleshooting notes with actionable commands.
When to use it. Use it when a repository needs an agent-facing guide that complements its README. It also covers additional guidance files for monorepo subprojects where needed.
