name: agents-md-revise description: Capture learnings from the current session into the project-rules file (AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or local override) so future sessions benefit. Use when the user says "revise the rules", "update AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md with what we just learned", "save this to project memory", "remember this for next time", or at the end of a productive session when valuable context has emerged that is not yet documented. This is the COMPLEMENT to agents-md-improver: improver audits, this one captures. license: MIT (translated from anthropics/claude-plugins-official/plugins/claude-md-management/commands/revise-claude-md.md)

AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md Revise

Review the current session for learnings about working in this codebase, then update the project-rules file with context that would help future sessions be more effective.

OpenCode resolves project rules first-match-wins per directory: if a directory holds both AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, only AGENTS.md is loaded and the CLAUDE.md is never read. When capturing learnings, prefer AGENTS.md for a new file; if both already exist in the same directory, write to AGENTS.md — never into the shadowed CLAUDE.md, or the notes land in a file OpenCode ignores. If only CLAUDE.md exists, update it in place (and consider migrating it to AGENTS.md).

Step 1 — Reflect

Look back over the session and identify what context was missing that would have helped the agent work more effectively. Examples:

• Bash commands that were used or discovered
• Code-style patterns followed
• Testing approaches that worked
• Environment / configuration quirks
• Warnings or gotchas encountered
• Build steps that surprised you
• Tool versions that mattered
• Project-specific conventions that took time to figure out

Be selective. Only capture things that:

1. Will recur in future sessions (not one-off fixes).
2. Would have saved time if known up front.
3. Cannot be derived by reading the code.

Step 2 — Find rules files

find . \( -name "AGENTS.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name ".agents.local.md" -o -name ".claude.local.md" \) 2>/dev/null | head -20

Decide where each addition belongs:

• AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md — team-shared, committed to git. Use for project-wide conventions, build commands, architectural notes.
• .agents.local.md / .claude.local.md — personal / local only, gitignored. Use for personal preferences that should not affect teammates.

If both AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md exist in the same directory, target AGENTS.md — OpenCode ignores the co-located CLAUDE.md, so anything written there is lost.

If no rules file exists yet, propose creating AGENTS.md at the project root.

Step 3 — Draft additions

Keep it concise. The rules file is part of every prompt, so brevity matters. One line per concept when possible.

Format: <command or pattern> — <brief description>

Avoid:

• Verbose explanations
• Obvious information that any reader of the code would already know
• One-off fixes unlikely to recur
• Restating what is already documented elsewhere in the rules file

Prefer:

• Imperative commands ("Run pnpm i --frozen-lockfile after pulling")
• Concrete gotchas ("The dev script binds to port 3000 — kill any other process on that port first")
• Project-specific patterns ("All dates are stored in UTC; convert at the boundary")

Step 4 — Show proposed changes

For each addition, show the user the diff before applying. Format:

### Update: ./AGENTS.md

**Why:** [one-line reason this matters for future sessions]

```diff
+ [the addition — keep it brief]
```

If multiple additions go to the same file, group them under one header so the user can review the whole change in one view.

Step 5 — Apply with approval

Ask the user explicitly: "Apply these changes?" Edit only files they approve.

Preserve the existing structure. Place additions in the most relevant section (e.g., a new build command goes under "Commands" if that section exists). If no obvious section fits, create one with a clear header.

If the user rejects an addition, do not retry it in the same session — they may have a reason. Move on.

Notes

• This skill writes to project files. Always show the diff first and wait for approval.
• Pair this skill with agents-md-improver for the full maintenance loop: improver audits and identifies gaps; this one captures fresh session-specific learnings.
• Do not include sensitive information (API keys, tokens, internal URLs) in committed rules files. Put those in .agents.local.md / .claude.local.md or in environment variables.
