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

1. Locate AGENTS.md in the repository root (or specified path).
2. 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.
