# AGENTS.md Manager
Maintain AGENTS.md project context files across all ~/Dev projects.
## Available Operations
### 1. Audit — Cross-project health check
Scan all projects and report AGENTS.md / .pi/ / td status:
```bash
# Use the project_init tool in batch mode
```
Use `project_init` with `action: "batch"` to get a full overview. Then provide a table:
| Project | Stack | AGENTS.md | .pi/ | td | Status |
|---------|-------|-----------|------|-----|--------|
Flag projects that:
- Have code but no AGENTS.md (needs init)
- Have AGENTS.md but no .pi/ or td (partially set up)
- Are fully ready ✅
### 2. Generate — Create AGENTS.md for a project
Use `project_init` with `action: "detect"` first to preview, then `action: "init"` to create.
After auto-generation, review and **enhance** the output by:
- Reading README.md for project description and purpose
- Checking package.json scripts for accurate quick-start commands
- Looking at src/ structure for meaningful directory descriptions
- Adding project-specific conventions found in configs (ESLint rules, Prettier settings)
- Adding deployment info if found (Dockerfile, CI workflows, deploy scripts)
### 3. Update — Refresh specific sections
When a project has changed significantly:
1. Read current AGENTS.md
2. Run `project_init` with `action: "detect"` to get fresh stack profile
3. Compare detected state against documented state
4. Update only stale sections, preserving manual edits in other sections
Key sections to check:
- **Stack:** Dependencies changed?
- **Quick Start:** New scripts added/removed?
- **Directory Layout:** New top-level dirs?
- **Conventions:** Linting/formatting tools changed?
- **Key Files:** New config files?
Use the `edit` tool for surgical updates — don't rewrite the entire file.
### 4. Sync Check — Detect drift
Compare AGENTS.md claims against reality:
```bash
# Check if referenced directories exist
# Verify scripts in package.json match what's documented
# Confirm referenced config files exist
# Check if new top-level dirs aren't documented
```
For each project with AGENTS.md:
1. Read the AGENTS.md
2. Run `project_init detect` to get current profile
3. Compare:
- Listed directories vs actual directories
- Documented scripts vs actual package.json scripts
- Referenced config files vs files on disk
- Stack description vs detected stack
4. Report drift items with suggested fixes
### 5. Lint — Quality check
Check AGENTS.md files for common issues:
- **Missing sections:** No quick start, no directory layout
- **Stale paths:** References to directories/files that don't exist
- **Generic content:** Boilerplate without project-specific detail
- **Missing td mandate:** No task management section
- **No description:** Missing project purpose/overview
- **Broken commands:** Script references that don't match package.json
Report with severity:
- 🔴 Critical: Missing or empty AGENTS.md in active project
- 🟡 Important: Stale content, missing key sections
- 🔵 Minor: Formatting, generic descriptions
## Batch Mode
When operating on multiple projects:
1. Start with audit to identify which projects need attention
2. Process projects by priority (active first, stale/archived last)
3. Show a summary of changes before applying
4. Always ask before writing to files
## Integration with Other Tools
- Use `project_init` for stack detection and initial generation
- Use `workon` to switch context when doing deep updates
- Use `td` to track large-scale AGENTS.md update campaigns
- Use `read` and `edit` for surgical file modifications
