Overview
What is Agent Smith?
Agent Smith is a CLI tool that auto-generates an AGENTS.md file from your codebase. AGENTS.md is an open standard for giving AI coding assistants context about a project, adopted by 60,000+ projects and supported by tools like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, VS Code, and Gemini CLI. It's for developers who want a comprehensive, automatically maintained context file that AI tools read without any configuration.
How to use Agent Smith?
Run directly with npx @jpoindexter/agent-smith in your project directory or install globally with npm install -g @jpoindexter/agent-smith. Use agentsmith (default), or specify a directory with agentsmith ./my-project. Additional flags include --dry-run (preview without writing), --output <file> (custom output), --force (overwrite existing), and output mode flags: --compact, --compress, --minimal, --xml, and a file tree visualization.
Key features of Agent Smith
- Scans codebase for components, hooks, API routes, and more
- Detects frameworks like Next.js, shadcn/ui, and Prisma
- Generates AGENTS.md with approximately 11K tokens by default
- Multiple output modes: compact, compress, minimal, XML
- Integrates automatically with AI coding tools (no config needed)
