To support seamless development with AI assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.), the CLI automatically scaffolds custom configuration context files during project initialization:
AGENTS.md — Universal rules detailing code style, technology choices, strictly-enforced directory structure guidelines, and available CLI tools.Selected from shared topics, language and repository description—not editorial ratings.
