AGENTS.md Refresh Reminder
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Starts a new session and you need to re-sync on repo rules
- Mentions or references
AGENTS.md - Asks you to follow “the rules” and you need to confirm what they are
- You suspect policy drift and want to avoid accidental violations (git, db, filesystem, tests, etc.)
Prompt the agent to re-read and apply the current guidelines in AGENTS.md before continuing work.
Workflow
- Locate AGENTS.md in the repository root (or specified path).
- Read the full file to refresh constraints and required behaviors and re-answer the previous question
Scope Boundaries
DO: Locate and read AGENTS.md, summarize the rules, and align actions accordingly.
DO NOT: Skip reading AGENTS.md when this skill is invoked or assume prior knowledge.
