Agents Contributor Template

This repository provides a reusable AGENTS.md and a baseline set of contributor mode guides under .agents/modes/. Copy these files into a new project to bootstrap consistent collaboration workflows without inheriting project-specific tooling rules.

How to Use This Template

1. Create or choose the target repository you want to prepare for Agents-style collaboration.
2. Clone that repository locally.
3. Copy AGENTS.md from this template into the root of the target repository.
4. Copy the .agents/modes/ directory into the target repository (create .agents/ first if it does not exist).
5. Review each mode file and replace placeholder or generic language with project-specific expectations.
6. Update the target repository's README.md, .agents/instructions/, and .agents/tasks/ so they align with the imported guidance.
7. Commit the changes in the target repository and share the updated instructions with your team.

Example Self-Prompt

Use a prompt like the following when you want to bootstrap a new repository with this template:

Clone the Agents Contributor Template (https://github.com/Midori-AI-OSS/agents_template.git) repo into a new clean temp folder,
copy its `AGENTS.md` and `.agents/modes` folder into this current project, then customize the instructions to match the project's tooling and workflow.

Adapt the wording to match your workflow automation tooling or assistant. The key steps are: clone, copy, customize, and document.

Customization Checklist

• Document the team's communication command or channel in AGENTS.md.
• Link to any language- or framework-specific setup instructions in .agents/instructions/.
• Add cheat sheets for each active contributor mode under .agents/notes/.
• Remove unused mode files or add new ones as your project requires.
• Keep .agents/tasks/, .agents/implementation/, and .agents/instructions/ synchronized with ongoing work.

Keep this repository untouched after copying so it remains a clean starting point for future projects.
