Mend Agent Rules

This skill automates the synchronization of CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md using AI / LLM to ensure they always reflect the current state of the repository's agents and skills.

Purpose

To provide AI agents with up-to-date instructions and context about available specialized capabilities without manual maintenance.

Instructions

1. Discovery: Scan the following directories and categorize them:
   • Project Skills: All SKILL.md files in .claude/skills/ (recursive).
   • Agents: Agent definitions or metadata in .claude/agents/.
2. Extraction: For each skill/agent found, extract:
   • name: From YAML frontmatter or directory name.
   • description: From YAML frontmatter or first paragraph.
   • path: Relative path from the workspace root.
3. Target Identification: Identify documentation files and their respective markers:
   • CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md:
     • <!-- AVAILABLE_SKILLS_START --> and <!-- AVAILABLE_SKILLS_END -->
     • <!-- AVAILABLE_AGENTS_START --> and <!-- AVAILABLE_AGENTS_END -->
     • <!-- FRAMEWORK_DOCS_START --> and <!-- FRAMEWORK_DOCS_END -->
4. Formatting:
   • Skills List: Generate a table of all discovered project skills.
   • Agents List: Generate a table of discovered agents.
5. Synchronization: Replace the content between the specific markers in BOTH target files.
   • Update BOTH CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md with the project skills table, agents table, and framework documentation.
   • CRITICAL: The framework documentation (explaining what Agent Skills are, directory structure, and guidelines) MUST be present in both files between the FRAMEWORK_DOCS markers. If it is missing from one but present in the other, synchronize it.
6. Verification: Confirm that both files are identical except for their top-level headers (# CLAUDE.md vs # AGENTS.md) and that all markers are preserved.
