What is a CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md file?

A CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file gives AI coding agents the project context they need to be useful from the first prompt: how to build, test, and lint your code, which conventions to follow, and what not to touch. Instead of re-explaining your stack in every chat, you commit these instructions once and every agent session reads them automatically.

CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code, Anthropic’s command-line coding agent. AGENTS.md follows the open agents.md standard, which a growing set of tools — including Cursor and other assistants — recognize, so one file can guide many agents. This generator produces either format from the same answers.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose your file format — CLAUDE.md for Anthropic’s Claude Code, or AGENTS.md for the tool-agnostic agents.md standard used by Cursor and other AI coding agents.

  2. 2

    Describe your stack: project type, language, package manager, and (optionally) framework, test runner, and linter — the generator turns these into a Commands section your agent can run.

  3. 3

    Select the code-style rules you want agents to follow, and add any custom project rules of your own.

  4. 4

    Copy the generated file or download it, then drop it in the root of your repository so your AI agent reads it automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What is a CLAUDE.md file?

CLAUDE.md is a Markdown file that Claude Code (Anthropic’s CLI coding agent) reads from your repository to learn the project’s conventions, commands, and constraints. It acts as persistent, project-specific instructions so the agent follows your build, test, and style rules on every task instead of guessing.

What is AGENTS.md?

AGENTS.md is an open, tool-agnostic convention (agents.md) for giving AI coding agents project context. Unlike a vendor-specific file, many agents — including Cursor and other assistants — look for AGENTS.md, so a single file guides multiple tools. Its structure mirrors CLAUDE.md: project overview, commands, and code-style rules.

What’s the difference between CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md?

CLAUDE.md is read specifically by Claude Code, while AGENTS.md is a shared standard read by a range of AI coding agents. The content is nearly identical — pick CLAUDE.md if you work primarily in Claude Code, or AGENTS.md if you want one file that works across tools. This generator produces either from the same answers.

Where do I put the generated file?

Place it in the root (top-level directory) of your repository, next to package.json. Agents discover it automatically from there. Claude Code also reads nested CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories, so you can add scoped instructions per package in a monorepo.

Is this generator free?

Yes — it is completely free with no signup or account required. Answer four short steps and copy or download your file.

Does it upload my code anywhere?

No. The generator runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing you type is sent to a server, logged, or stored — the file is assembled locally and copied or downloaded directly from your device.

Can I edit the file after generating it?

Absolutely. The output is plain Markdown, so you can refine it in any editor after downloading — add project-specific context, extra commands, or house rules as your codebase evolves.
