Init

Creates, updates, or optimizes an AGENTS.md file for a repository with minimal, high-signal instructions covering non-discoverable coding conventions, tooling quirks, workflow preferences, and project-specific rules that agents cannot infer from reading the codebase. Use when setting up agent instructions or Claude configuration for a new repository, when an existing AGENTS.md is too long, generic, or stale, when agents repeatedly make avoidable mistakes, or when repository workflows have changed and the agent configuration needs pruning. Applies a discoverability filter—omitting anything Claude can learn from README, code, config, or directory structure—and a quality gate to verify each line remains accurate and operationally significant.

Ask your agent to install it
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent that can run commands — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this skill's install guide, shows you its source, license and scripts, and installs it with the SourceWeft CLI once you agree.
Read https://sourceweft.com/skills/gh-mcollina-skills-init/install.md and install the skill it describes. Before installing, show me its source, license and whether it ships scripts, and wait for my OK. Ask me before changing anything else on my machine.Install it yourself from a terminal
For Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other local agents. The SourceWeft CLI fetches the skill from its source repository at the commit scanned here, and verifies every file against the hashes recorded when the skill was scanned. If anything differs, nothing is written.
npx @sourceweft/cli skills install gh-mcollina-skills-initAdd --agent claude-code, codex, cursor or universal to choose which agent gets it (Claude Code by default).
Upstream installer — not verified by SourceWeft
The open-source skills installer fetches the same pinned commit, but does not check the files against the hashes SourceWeft recorded.
