Show HN: Agentseed – Generate Agents.md from a Codebase
npx agentseed init
AGENTS.md (https://agents.md https://agents.md) is a standard file used by AI coding agents to understand a repo
(stack, commands, conventions).
Agentseed generates it directly from the codebase using static analysis.
Optional LLM augmentation is supported by bringing your own API key.
Extracts languages, frameworks, dependencies, build/test commands,
directory structure, and monorepo boundaries.
- rdegges 8mo agoThis is such a great idea. When I'm building net-new projects, I typically end up working with the AI assistant to build a comprehensive AGENTS.md as the first thing before any work gets done: specify tools, dependencies, architecture requirements, style, etc. I end up getting way better quality. The same is true for existing projects, but it always takes a whole lot longer as I'm typically chatting with my AI assistant to figure out what conventions are there that I forgot, etc., before building an AGENTS.md to make future changes simpler. Love how this takes care of that.
- avinshe 8mo agoThank you! The idea is that static analysis can recover most of the mechanical truth of a repo (stack, commands, layout), and then you can layer intentional constraints on top if you want. If this saves even a few of those back-and-forth setup chats, it’s doing its job. Feel free to contribute if you find the right fit
