Jim Myhrberg 1b19cc450e fix(claude/commands): standardize progressive disclosure dir to docs/agents/
Both generate-agents.md and refactor-agents.md referenced inconsistent
directory conventions for progressive disclosure docs (docs/*.md,
.agents/docs/). Standardize all references to docs/agents/.

Refactor an existing AGENTS.md to follow progressive disclosure principles, extracting detailed rules into separate docs https://www.aihero.dev/a-complete-guide-to-agents-md

Task: Refactor my AGENTS.md

I want you to refactor my AGENTS.md file to follow progressive disclosure principles. If there is no AGENTS.md file, look for a CLAUDE.md file instead.

Follow these steps:

  1. Find contradictions: Identify any instructions that conflict with each other. For each contradiction, ask me which version I want to keep.

  2. Identify the essentials: Extract only what belongs in the root AGENTS.md:

    • One-sentence project description
    • Package manager (if not npm)
    • Non-standard build/typecheck commands
    • Anything truly relevant to every single task
  3. Group the rest: Organize remaining instructions into logical categories (e.g., TypeScript conventions, testing patterns, API design, Git workflow). For each group, create a separate Markdown file.

  4. Create the file structure: Output:

    • A minimal root AGENTS.md with Markdown links to the separate files
    • Each separate file with its relevant instructions
    • A suggested docs/agents/ folder structure
  5. Flag for deletion: Identify any instructions that are:

    • Redundant (the agent already knows this)
    • Too vague to be actionable
    • Overly obvious (like "write clean code")
