Our review

Keeps AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections synchronized with skill metadata by running a script to regenerate tables.

Strengths

Automates tedious manual updates to AGENTS.md files
Supports multiple scopes (root, backend, frontend) and dry-run mode
Clear mapping between skill actions and auto-invoke triggers

Limitations

Only works with the specific skill metadata format required
Requires executing a shell script, not a pure agent action
Cannot handle complex merge conflicts if multiple agents modify AGENTS.md simultaneously

When to use it

When you create, modify, or need to troubleshoot auto-invoke sections for skills in the repository.

When not to use it

When manually editing AGENTS.md auto-invoke sections for one-time changes that don't involve skill metadata.

Examples

Regenerate AGENTS.md after creating a new skill

I just created a new skill at skills/my-new-skill/SKILL.md with scope [backend] and auto_invoke 'Deploying microservices'. Run the sync script to update AGENTS.md files.

Dry-run to preview changes

Show me what would change in AGENTS.md if I add a skill with scope [root] and auto_invoke 'Running tests' using the sync script in dry-run mode.

Troubleshoot missing skill in auto-invoke

My skill 'db-migration' has metadata with scope [backend] and auto_invoke set, but it doesn't appear in backend/AGENTS.md auto-invoke table. Run the sync script and help me diagnose why.

name: skill-sync description: > Syncs skill metadata to AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections. Trigger: When updating skill metadata (metadata.scope/metadata.auto_invoke), regenerating Auto-invoke tables, or running ./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh (including --dry-run/--scope). license: Apache-2.0 metadata: author: prowler-cloud version: "1.0" scope: [root] auto_invoke: - "After creating/modifying a skill" - "Regenerate AGENTS.md Auto-invoke tables (sync.sh)" - "Troubleshoot why a skill is missing from AGENTS.md auto-invoke" allowed-tools: Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash

Purpose

Keeps AGENTS.md Auto-invoke sections in sync with skill metadata. When you create or modify a skill, run the sync script to automatically update all affected AGENTS.md files.

Required Skill Metadata

Each skill that should appear in Auto-invoke sections needs these fields in metadata.

auto_invoke can be either a single string or a list of actions:

metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]                                    # Which AGENTS.md: ui, api, sdk, root

  # Option A: single action
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying components"

  # Option B: multiple actions
  # auto_invoke:
  #   - "Creating/modifying components"
  #   - "Refactoring component folder placement"

Scope Values

| Scope | Updates | |-------|---------| | root | AGENTS.md (repo root) | | backend | backend/AGENTS.md | | frontend | frontend/AGENTS.md |

Skills can have multiple scopes: scope: [backend, frontend, root]

Usage

After Creating/Modifying a Skill

./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

What It Does

Reads all skills/*/SKILL.md files
Extracts metadata.scope and metadata.auto_invoke
Generates Auto-invoke tables for each AGENTS.md
Updates the ### Auto-invoke Skills section in each file

Example

Given this skill metadata:

# skills/prowler-ui/SKILL.md
metadata:
  author: prowler-cloud
  version: "1.0"
  scope: [ui]
  auto_invoke: "Creating/modifying React components"

The sync script generates in ui/AGENTS.md:

### Auto-invoke Skills

When performing these actions, ALWAYS invoke the corresponding skill FIRST:

| Action | Skill |
|--------|-------|
| Creating/modifying React components | `prowler-ui` |

Commands

# Sync all AGENTS.md files
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh

# Dry run (show what would change)
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --dry-run

# Sync specific scope only
./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh --scope ui

Checklist After Modifying Skills

[ ] Added metadata.scope to new/modified skill
[ ] Added metadata.auto_invoke with action description
[ ] Ran ./skills/skill-sync/assets/sync.sh
[ ] Verified AGENTS.md files updated correctly
