refresh-agent-context - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: refresh-agent-context description: Audit this Turborepo for stale or missing agent-reference docs, then refresh repo and app-level `AGENTS.md` and related onboarding docs using the bundled workspace inventory script. Use when apps, packages, routes, ports, or shared tooling changed and the repo needs a fresh agent-oriented context pass.

Refresh Agent Context

Use this skill to keep the repo understandable for coding agents as the Turborepo evolves.

Goal

Detect drift between the actual workspace structure and the agent-facing docs, then update the smallest set of docs that restore a fast path into the correct app or package.

Prefer updating these files, in this order:

root AGENTS.md
root README.md
root or app-level CLAUDE.md
app-level apps/*/AGENTS.md
package docs only when they materially help route ownership or shared-code discovery

Quick Start

From the repo root, run:

node skills/refresh-agent-context/scripts/workspace_inventory.mjs

This prints a current inventory of:

app and package workspaces
package names
dev ports inferred from package.json
asset prefixes and NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME inferred from next.config.ts
whether AGENTS.md, README.md, and CLAUDE.md exist per app

Workflow

1. Build the current repo inventory

Run the inventory script first. Treat its output as the baseline snapshot of the current monorepo shape.

2. Audit doc coverage

Check for:

missing root AGENTS.md
apps missing AGENTS.md
stale or missing CLAUDE.md files when Claude-specific onboarding exists
empty or stub-only AGENTS.md
stale README or CLAUDE.md entries for app names, ports, package names, or CMS/framework ownership
missing references to important shared packages such as packages/i18n, packages/ui-chrome, or packages/ecosystem-data
route ownership that is not obvious from the current docs

3. Patch the minimal doc set

Prefer concise guides that answer these questions quickly:

which workspace owns the requested feature
which commands validate only that workspace
which config files define routing, asset prefixes, or cross-app navigation
which shared packages are likely involved
which CLAUDE.md files need the same operational updates as agent docs

Do not turn the docs into a full architecture book. Keep them as jump-start guides.

4. Verify against source files

Before finalizing:

verify package names from package.json
verify ports from workspace scripts
verify asset prefixes, rewrites, and NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_NAME from next.config.ts
verify content ownership from the actual content/, src/, or package layout

5. Report the audit

Summarize:

what was stale or missing
what docs were updated
what could not be verified automatically

Output Standards

keep docs short and operational
prefer tables for workspace maps and bullets for gotchas
keep AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, and root onboarding docs aligned when they describe the same workspace facts
do not duplicate long app docs when a short pointer is enough
if no changes are needed, say so and include the audit findings
