I've been starting new repos over and over again, kept a list of personal skills too. But recently I have been thinking of a different approach: a "Minimal AGENTS.md" (or CLAUDE.md if you use claude)
The idea is inspired by "Organic Architecture" theory by architect Frank Lloyd Wright where a building will dynamically grow / change with people using it.
For example here are a few lines I put in the minimal AGENTS.md (conceptual)
---
-
Always keep a README.md in any folder greater than 5 files, and update the README.md of immediate and parent folders when changing.
-
Submit for code review using [{my preference of ai code reviewer venders}] and loop until code resolves. Ok to push back and dismiss. Do TDD if code reviewer found critical bug you agree to
-
Keep the memory of lesson learned in .memory/.md and update them, consolidate to skill if hit the same lesson more than 3 times.
And usually it helps kind of start the growth of the repo as I further develop it.
has anyone try this kind of approach?
