| 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
- 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
- empty or stub-only
AGENTS.md
- stale README 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
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
- preserve existing OpenSpec-managed blocks in app
AGENTS.md
- do not duplicate long app docs when a short pointer is enough
- if no changes are needed, say so and include the audit findings
