What kind of session tracking does it provide?

It implements a protocol of one markdown file per day (YYYY-MM-DD.md) to record development progress, decisions made, and AI interactions, ensuring a searchable history of the project's evolution.

Can I use this on an existing project?

Absolutely. The scaffold script can be pointed to any project root to add the AI-first structure without overwriting your existing source code.

Why are rules not copied from the library root?

To avoid duplication and ensure consistency, project-specific rules are typically inherited from your global library, though you can still add local overrides in the .claude/rules/ folder.

Does this skill work with IDEs like Cursor?

Yes, it generates specific configuration folders for .cursor, .claude, and .codex, including customized commands and rules for each assistant.

What is the purpose of the .agents/ folder?

It serves as a dedicated space for AI-specific documentation, session logs, and architectural context, helping AI agents maintain higher accuracy and context within your project.
