Templates
Templates for AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, Skills, Plugins, MCP, llms.txt, runbooks, and KB docs.
Key takeaways
- These are copy-ready starting points for
AGENTS.md,CLAUDE.md, Skills, Plugin manifests, MCP Tools and Resources,llms.txt, and a security checklist. - Replace every command, path, owner, scope, and date with verified project facts before use.
- The
CLAUDE.mdtemplate imports the shared source via@AGENTS.mdand only adds Claude-specific rules to avoid duplication. - The MCP Tool template documents purpose, side effect, authorization scope, approval mode, and audit fields; the Resource template marks its body as data with a trust boundary.
- The security checklist verifies external data is not treated as instructions, destructive actions require approval, scopes are least privilege, and no secrets appear in examples.
Use these templates as starting points. Replace every command, path, owner, scope, and date with verified project facts.
