Followup audit of the single-source-of-truth agent-docs rollout. Several AI.dev prompts and skills still taught agents the old 8-file pattern (which would re-introduce drift) and the generator script emitted a misleading summary in --no-commit mode. AI.dev guides: - Delete AI.dev/SKILLS/update-agent-docs.md — entire doc taught the old 8-file pattern. Canonical reference is now .windsurf/workflows/repo_update-agent-docs.md. - AI.dev/SKILLS/index.md + README.md: replace dangling 'Update Agent Documentation' link with pointers to agent-behavior-guidelines.md, agent-onboarding.md, and the workflow doc. - AI.dev/SKILLS/scan-repo-context.md: remove instructions to read .windsurfrules / write .cursorrules. Point at the canonical behavior file. - AI.dev/PROMPTS/new-product-scaffold.md: remove .windsurfrules and CLAUDE.md from the scaffold tree. Add deprecated-files callout + regeneration hint. - AI.dev/PROMPTS/agents-md-sync.md: drop 'Step 4 update CLAUDE.md', point at the generator instead. Remove CLAUDE.md from `git add`. - AI.dev/PROMPTS/ecosystem-audit.md: replace 'CLAUDE.md exists?' with 'canonical-behavior-pointer block present? legacy files absent?'. Script UX: - scripts/update-agent-docs.sh: stop printing 'All repos already in sync' when --no-commit suppressed commits or --dry-run was used. Emit accurate per-mode summaries instead.

| name | description | argument-hint | agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| agents-md-sync | Audit and update AGENTS.md files across all ByteLyst repos to match current codebase reality — layout, test counts, API endpoints, packages. | Scope, e.g. "all repos", "learning_ai_efforise only", "test counts only" | agent |
AGENTS.md Sync Prompt
Ensure all AGENTS.md files across the ByteLyst ecosystem accurately reflect the current state of each repository.
Context — What AGENTS.md Does
AGENTS.md is the primary instruction file for AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini). It must be accurate because:
- AI agents read it before making changes
- Incorrect docs lead to incorrect code
- Stale test counts erode agent trust
- Wrong layout trees cause file-not-found errors
Standard AGENTS.md Sections
Every ByteLyst repo should have these sections:
- Project Identity — product name, ID, bundle IDs, ports, ecosystem
- Repo Layout — file tree (keep up to date!)
- Tech Stack — frameworks, languages, tools per layer
- Coding Conventions — MUST follow / MUST NOT do
- .npmrc rules — never edit directly
- Cosmos Containers (if backend) — container, partition key, purpose
- Build & Test Commands — exact
pnpmcommands - API Endpoints (if backend) — method, path, description
- Environment Variables — var, default, description
- Current State (optional) — phases, commits, test counts
- Cross-Repo Automation — link to CODING_AGENT_AUTOMATION_PLAYBOOK.md
Sync Protocol
Step 1: Scan Each Repo
For each repo, programmatically verify:
# File tree matches layout section
find . -type f -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.swift" -o -name "*.kt" | head -50
# Test count matches
pnpm test --reporter=verbose 2>&1 | tail -5
# API endpoints match (backend)
grep -r "app\.\(get\|post\|patch\|put\|delete\)" backend/src/modules/*/routes.ts
# Package count matches
ls node_modules/@bytelyst/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l
# Cosmos containers match
grep -r "getCollection\|getContainer" backend/src/modules/*/repository.ts
Step 2: Identify Drift
Compare AGENTS.md content against reality:
| Section | Check | Drift Signal |
|---|---|---|
| Repo Layout | find vs documented tree |
New dirs/files not listed |
| Tech Stack | package.json deps | New framework not mentioned |
| Test Counts | pnpm test output |
Count differs by >5 |
| API Endpoints | route file scan | Missing endpoints |
| Cosmos Containers | repository scan | New containers |
| Packages Used | node_modules scan | New @bytelyst/* packages |
| Ports | shared/product.json | Port mismatch |
Step 3: Update AGENTS.md
For each drift found:
- Update the specific section
- Preserve all existing comments and documentation
- Keep formatting consistent with other repos
Step 4: Regenerate Derived Files
If AGENTS.md changed significantly, regenerate the derived agent files
(.github/copilot-instructions.md, .aider.conf.yml, .editorconfig) via:
cd ../learning_ai_common_plat
bash scripts/update-agent-docs.sh
The canonical-behavior-pointer block at the top of AGENTS.md is auto-managed —
do not edit it by hand. Legacy files (CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules,
.windsurfrules, .clinerules) are deprecated and should not exist.
Step 5: Commit Per Repo
cd <repo>
git add AGENTS.md
git commit -m "docs(agents): sync AGENTS.md with current repo state
- Updated: <sections that changed>
- Test count: X → Y
- <other changes>"
git push
