Analyze a codebase and create or improve an AGENTS.md file for future agent instances. Use when onboarding to a repository and capturing hard-to-rediscover conventions, constraints, and rationale.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill init --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Init - AGENTS.md Generator Analyze this codebase and create or improve an `AGENTS.md` file for future ODIN Code Agent instances. ## Core principle **Only encode knowledge that is expensive to rediscover.** An agent can `fd`, `rg`, `ast-grep`, and read files in seconds. If the information is one search away, omit it. ## Objective guard `AGENTS.md` is for **priming and guiding** future agents with conventions, constraints, and rationale. It is **not** a repository summary. ## What to include 1. Cross-cutting conventions and boundaries that span multiple files. 2. Implicit contracts and operational constraints that are easy to miss in quick code exploration. 3. Non-obvious command guidance only when hidden constraints matter (required ordering, flags, env vars, caveats). 4. For each included item, state: - the rule or constraint - why it exists (rationale) ## What to omit (the agent can discover these) - File trees, per-directory descriptions, or component inventories. - Dependency/version tables. - Generic development best practices. - Information that is easily discoverable via search/read. - Fabricated filler sections such as "Common Development Tasks", "Tips", or "Support". - An

What does the inits skill do?
Analyze a codebase and create or improve an AGENTS.md file for future agent instances. Use when onboarding to a repository and capturing hard-to-rediscover conventions, constraints, and rationale.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill init --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
