SKILL.md

The agents.md format provides project-specific context for AI coding assistants. It's the simplest format: plain markdown only with NO YAML frontmatter, NO special syntax.

| Format | Plain markdown | | Frontmatter | None (forbidden) | | Structure | Free-form | | File location | agents.md in project root |

| Adding YAML frontmatter | No frontmatter allowed - plain markdown only | | Generic best practices | Focus on project-specific patterns | | Verbose explanations | Be concise, AI already knows general concepts | | Language tutorials | Skip basics, focus on project conventions | | Missing context | Include domain knowledge and business logic |
