Summary — What Free AGENTS.md Generator Does

What This Free Tool Is

Free AGENTS.md Generator builds a standards-compliant AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) for your repository — the file that AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot Workspaces, and Aider read at the start of every session. Fill in project name, overview, commands, code style, architecture notes, PR guidelines, security rules, and do-not-touch list.

Privacy: This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or cached. Close the tab and it's gone. Verify in DevTools → Network: zero requests fire.

Why It's Free (And How We Keep It Free)

Every repo needs an AGENTS.md now, and a decent one is the difference between an agent that helps and an agent that breaks things. The generator runs 100% in your browser — no repo info ever uploaded.

AGENTS.md Generator Features

Here's what this free tool does in detail — every feature is built to solve real problems, runs entirely in your browser, and is free forever.

AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md Target Switch

AGENTS.md is the neutral spec name (adopted by 60,000+ repos with Linux Foundation backing); CLAUDE.md is the Claude Code variant. Both files have identical shape — only the H1 and filename differ. Flip the target toggle to generate either. Claude Code reads AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md at session start, so either filename works.

For an LLM-facing site-level index instead of a repo-level one, use the Free llms.txt Generator.

All Standard Sections Included

The output includes every standard section: project overview, commands (install/dev/build/test/lint/format), code style, architecture notes, PR & commit guidelines, security & secrets, do-not-touch list, and review checklist. Empty fields are silently skipped, so you only get the sections you filled in. Add custom sections after copying if your repo needs them.

Pair with a good README — the Free README Generator builds one in minutes.

Review Checklist and Do-Not-Touch List

Two of the most valuable sections for real-world agents: a Review Checklist (rendered as GFM task list items the agent can check before declaring done) and a Do Not Touch list (files or globs the agent should never modify, like pnpm-lock.yaml or .env*). Both take one item per line in the form.

AI Coding Standards Boilerplate

Optionally include a short AI Coding Standards section with five rules that apply to most projects: never add features the user didn't ask for, prefer editing existing files, match the existing code style, run tests before declaring done, and ask if unsure. Toggle off if your repo has its own standards doc.

To preview how the final file will render, use the Free Markdown Live Preview after copying.
