Run the review-agent-config diagnostic. Read-only. Produce a structured findings
report; do NOT edit any file.
Inputs — read these files (and only these)
AGENTS.md (project root) — full readAGENTS.md (project root) — full readpackage.json (project root) — grep for "build" and "test" script keys onlypom.xml (project root, if present) — grep <build> section onlyai/guide/MODULE_MAP.md — check existence on disk; no deep read neededai/INDEX.md — check existence on disk; no deep read needed- Any
ai/guide/*.md paths referenced in the knowledge-map sections — existence
check only via Glob
Checks
Section A — AGENTS.md structure
| ID | Check | Severity |
|---|
| C1 | Contains the literal @AGENTS.md directive (not just a comment or a markdown link [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)) | ❌ |
| C2 | Has a "Hard rules" or equivalent section | ❌ |
| C3 | Has a "Where to look" or knowledge-map section with explicit pointers into ai/guide/ | ❌ |
| C4 | Has a token-discipline or subagent-delegation section | ⚠️ |
| C5 | No unfilled placeholders: regex <[a-zA-Z ]{3,}>, bare TODO, or the literal string fill in | ❌ |
| C6 | Build command is present and not a placeholder | ❌ |
| C7 | Test command is present and not a placeholder | ❌ |
| C8 | Test locations are filled in (not <fill in during cold start> or equivalent) | ❌ |
| C9 | No reference to CLAUDE_bkp_*.md files framed as active guidance (stale post-cold-start) | ⚠️ |
| C10 | No Codex-specific directives duplicated wholesale from AGENTS.md | ⚠️ |
Section B — AGENTS.md structure
| ID | Check | Severity |
|---|
| A1 | Contains no Codex-specific directives (@import, memory syntax, hook syntax) | ⚠️ |
| A2 | Hard rule present: frozen upstream / don't touch inherited code | ❌ |
| A3 | Hard rule present: test before done — with actual build and test commands | ❌ |
| A4 | Hard rule present: surgical diffs | ❌ |
| A5 | Hard rule present: provenance tagging ([inferred] / [verified]) | ❌ |
| A6 | Hard rule present: no phantom bugs / config churn | ❌ |
| A7 | Hard rule present: verify claims before declaring done | ❌ |
| A8 | Hard rule present: license-header matching for new files | ⚠️ |
| A9 | Has a knowledge-map section pointing to ai/guide/ | ❌ |
| A10 | No unfilled placeholders (same regex as C5) | ❌ |
| A11 | No reference to AGENTS_bkp_*.md files framed as active guidance | ⚠️ |
Section C — Cross-file consistency
| ID | Check | Severity |
|---|
| X1 | Build command in AGENTS.md matches build command in AGENTS.md | ❌ |
| X2 | Test command in AGENTS.md matches test command in AGENTS.md | ❌ |
| X3 | Build/test commands match what package.json scripts or pom.xml actually define | ⚠️ |
| X4 | At least one ai/guide/ path mentioned in any knowledge-map section resolves on disk | ❌ |
| X5 | No rule in AGENTS.md directly contradicts a rule in AGENTS.md | ❌ |
| X6 | "Repo intelligence" / ai-layer description is not copy-pasted verbatim into both files | ⚠️ |
Output format
Emit the report directly to the user (do NOT write a file). Use this structure exactly:
review-agent-config — findings
══════════════════════════════════════════════════
AGENTS.md
─────────
✅/⚠️/❌ <check ID> <check name>
→ <one-line concrete fix> ← omit this line for ✅
AGENTS.md
─────────
✅/⚠️/❌ <check ID> <check name>
→ <one-line concrete fix>
Cross-file

→ <one-line concrete fix>
Summary
───────
X passed · Y warnings · Z errors
Next step: <single highest-priority action — one sentence>
Reporting discipline
- Report every check, not just failures. Passing checks build confidence.
- For every ❌ or ⚠️, always include a concrete one-line fix — never just
"this is wrong." Name the exact line or section to change.
- The "Next step" must name only the single highest-priority action. Do not
list all failures again.
- Severity governs the icon only; a ⚠️ warning is still reported and still
gets a fix suggestion.
What this skill does NOT do
- Does not auto-edit AGENTS.md or AGENTS.md.
- Does not check
ai/guide/ content quality — that is /post-cold-start-verification.
- Does not assess overall AI-layer maturity — that is
/verify-ai-readiness.
- Does not run builds or tests.
