Enji GuardGive coding agents the docs they need to be safe
Agent docs are the operating memory of the repo: goals, requirements, architecture, conventions, checks, guardrails, and the lessons that should carry from one agent run to the next.

01
Agents are only as safe as the context they can use
Drop a coding agent into an undocumented repo and it infers everything: where things live, what users need, how to verify work, and what is load-bearing. Good agent docs replace guesswork with grounded project context.
02
Good docs are a map, not a manual
A useful AGENTS.md does not need to explain every file. It needs to route the agent to the right context quickly: where to look, what to trust, what must be checked, and which rules apply before touching sensitive code.
03
What good agent docs contain
Guard checks whether the repo gives agents the coding agent instructions they need to move safely:
- AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Cursor rules, and repository instructions for AI agents
- Product goals, user workflows, and domain vocabulary
- Task requirements, acceptance criteria, and how done is verified
- Architecture boundaries, ownership areas, and load-bearing code
- Programming approach, local conventions, and patterns to avoid
- Situational rules for risky changes, secrets, migrations, and releases
- Accumulated decisions and lessons from previous agent work
04
Audit, then draft what's missing
Guard scores how ready your repo is for agents, then helps generate the AGENTS.md and repo instructions that fill the gaps, grounded in your actual product, code, and workflow, not a generic template.
05
Kept current as the code moves
Docs that drift are worse than no docs, because agents trust them. Guard re-audits on a schedule and proposes updates as reviewable pull requests, so the repo's operating memory keeps matching the code.
Quick questions
Is an AGENTS.md enough to make a repo agent-ready?
Necessary, not sufficient. An instructions file helps, but agents also need working checks, clear requirements, and rules that match the code. Guard audits the whole picture, not just whether the file exists.
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Copilot instructions, do I need all of them?
They overlap. What matters is one source of truth the tools you use can read, kept consistent. Guard checks the files you have for conflicts and gaps rather than insisting on a specific one.
Do coding agents actually read these files?
They read whatever the repo and tooling surface. If that context is thin, scattered, or stale, the agent fills the gaps by guessing, which is exactly the failure good agent docs prevent.
Should instructions live in one root file or per folder?
Both have a place. Guard flags rules too broad for the root and rules that belong closer to a specific package or directory, so agents load what is relevant to the change.
