Describe your project and conventions
Project type and key conventions give a coding agent the shape of your codebase.
REPOSITORY INSTRUCTIONS
AI Instruction File Generator
Turn project type, conventions, guardrails, and build commands into a draft AI instruction file (CLAUDE.md-style) for coding agents.
- Uses your inputs in a transparent calculation
- Instant result with practical next steps
- No signup required
Planning guidance only. Validate important decisions with customer evidence and your delivery team.
YOUR INPUTS
Build your result
Complete every field. The result updates only when you choose Calculate.
How it works
Add guardrails
Explicit, imperative forbidden actions are what actually get followed — not general advice.
List your commands
Build, test, and dev commands let an agent verify its own changes without asking you first.

Frequently asked questions
What file should I save this as?
Whatever your coding agent looks for — CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, AGENTS.md, or your tool's equivalent. The content structure works for any of them.
How detailed should guardrails be?
As specific and imperative as possible — "never run destructive migrations" works better than "be careful with the database."
Does this replace reading my codebase?
No — it's a starting draft. Refine it after you see how a coding agent actually behaves against it.
How is the completeness score calculated?
Each of the four sections is checked for enough real content (not just a placeholder); the score is the percentage of sections that pass.

Cursor and Copilot read whatever instruction file you provide but don't help you draft one. This tool produces the starting draft, format-agnostic.
