What's inside
14 sections including capabilities, execution pattern, agent modes, bound skills, workflow commands, output formats, configuration, error handling, and an example mission.
Change this for your project
- Replace bound skill names like
notebook_lm_researchandgoogle_slides_storyboardwith your own skill identifiers - Replace output format XML schemas (e.g.,
<presentation>,<research_report>) with your own data structures - Replace the example mission's research sources (
Gartner reports,McKinsey AI,Google Research) with your preferred sources
Where it goes
Save as AGENTS.md in your repository root. Read by Codex, Cursor and other agents that follow the AGENTS.md convention.
Worth borrowing
- Three-phase workflow (planning, execution, verification) with explicit user approval gate between planning and execution
- Bound skills table that maps each external tool to its purpose and invocation trigger
- Error recovery strategies table with specific fallback actions per failure type
