One AGENTS.md for Every Coding Agent: Auto-Derive CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md & Copilot Instructions
Summary

AI coding agents like Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Aider each expect their own instruction file, leading to fragmentation and drift. @mongez/agent-kit derives all per-agent files (CLAUDE.md, .gemini/GEMINI.md, etc.) from a single AGENTS.md and syncs skills from npm packages into each agent's skills directory, even flattening nested folders that Claude Code cannot read natively. A postinstall hook keeps everything in sync automatically.

Key Takeaways
  • Install @mongez/agent-kit and wire it into postinstall to maintain a single source of truth for agent instructions and skills across Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Aider.
Why it matters

For engineers managing multi-agent setups, this eliminates manual copy-pasting and ensures consistent conventions across all AI coding tools in the same project, directly improving developer experience and reducing drift.
