Agent Scripts

Agent Scripts is Peter Steinberger's open repo of shared agent rules, skills and small helper scripts.

Agent Scripts is the canonical repository Peter Steinberger uses for shared agent instructions. It holds AGENTS.md hard rules for Codex- and Claude-style agents, a skills/ tree of reusable workflow skills, dependency-light scripts, and hooks such as skill validation. Each skill has YAML front matter; descriptions stay short for routing, and bodies stay operational. scripts/sync-skills builds discovery links: Codex gets nested directory links, while Claude Code gets a flat per-skill mirror because it only loads one level of ~/.claude/skills. Name collisions resolve agent-scripts, then manager, then machine-local Codex extras. scripts/validate-skills checks edits.
