# Initialize Multi-Agent Workspace
Create shared configuration files for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI, plus the project structure for all three tools.
## Instructions
1. Ask the user two questions:
- "Single line description of your project:"
- "Keep AI config files private or public?"
- **Private**: AI files (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .claude/, .codex/skills/, .codex/prompts/, .gemini/skills/, .gemini/commands/, .mcp.json) are gitignored. Use when you don't want to share AI instructions with collaborators.
- **Public** (recommended): AI files are committed to the repo. Use when you want the team to share the same AI context.
2. Create the following directory structure and files:
### Directory Structure
```
project/
├── .claude/
│ ├── settings.json # Team-shared settings
│ ├── agents/ # Custom subagents
│ │ └── .gitkeep
│ ├── skills/ # Custom skills
│ │ └── .gitkeep
│ └── rules/ # Modular rules
│ └── .gitkeep
├── .codex/
│ ├── skills/ # Codex CLI skills
│ │ └── .gitkeep
│ └── prompts/ # Codex CLI custom slash commands
│ └── .gitkeep
├── .gemini/
│ ├── skills/ # Gemini CLI skills
│ │ └── .gitkeep
│ └── commands/ # Gemini CLI custom slash commands (TOML)
│ └── .gitkeep
├── .mcp.json # MCP server configuration
├── .gitignore # Comprehensive gitignore
├── AGENTS.md # Shared instructions (Codex CLI native)
├── CLAUDE.md # Claude Code (imports AGENTS.md)
└── GEMINI.md # Gemini CLI (imports AGENTS.md)
```
### File Contents
#### AGENTS.md
```markdown
# Project Instructions
> $USER_RESPONSE
## Guidelines
<!-- Add your project-specific instructions here -->
## Shared Memory
**Always write new instructions, rules, and memory to `AGENTS.md` only.**
Never modify `CLAUDE.md` or `GEMINI.md` directly - they only import `AGENTS.md`.
This ensures Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI share the same context consistently.
## Project Structure
- `.claude/agents/` - Custom subagents for specialized tasks
- `.claude/skills/` - Claude Code skills (slash commands)
- `.claude/rules/` - Modular rules auto-loaded into context
- `.codex/skills/` - Codex CLI skills
- `.codex/prompts/` - Codex CLI custom slash commands
- `.gemini/skills/` - Gemini CLI skills
- `.gemini/commands/` - Gemini CLI custom slash commands (TOML)
- `.mcp.json` - MCP server configuration
```
#### CLAUDE.md
```markdown
@AGENTS.md
```
#### GEMINI.md
```markdown
@AGENTS.md
```
#### .mcp.json
```json
{
"mcpServers": {}
}
```
#### .claude/settings.json
```json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [],
"deny": []
}
}
```
#### .gitignore (append if exists, create if not)
**If user chose PUBLIC (recommended):**
```gitignore

Use the same gitignore as above, but ADD these lines to the AI CODING ASSISTANTS section:
```gitignore
