Agent::Context

Provides tools for installing and managing context files from Ruby gems for AI agents, and generating agents.md files following the https://agents.md specification.

Development Status

Overview

This gem allows you to install and manage context files from other gems. Gems can provide context files in a context/ directory in their root, which can contain documentation, configuration examples, migration guides, and other contextual information for AI agents.

When you install context from gems, they are placed in the .context/ directory and an agents.md file is generated or updated to provide a comprehensive overview for AI agents.

Quick Start

Add the gem to your project and install context from all available gems:

$ bundle add agent-context
$ bake agent:context:install

This workflow:

  • Adds the agent-context gem to your project.
  • Installs context files from all gems into .context/.
  • Generates or updates agents.md with a comprehensive overview.
  • Follows the https://agents.md specification for agentic coding tools.

Context

This gem provides its own context files in the context/ directory, including:

  • usage.md - Comprehensive guide for using and providing context files.

When you install context from other gems, they will be placed in the .context/ directory and referenced in agents.md.

Usage

Please see the project documentation for more details.

  • Getting Started - This guide explains how to use agent-context, a tool for discovering and installing contextual information from Ruby gems to help AI agents.

Installation

Add the agent-context gem to your project:

$ bundle add agent-context

Commands

Install Context (Primary Command)

Install context from all available gems and update agents.md:

$ bake agent:context:install

Install context from a specific gem:

$ bake agent:context:install --gem async

List available context

List all gems that have context available:

$ bake agent:context:list

List context files for a specific gem:

$ bake agent:context:list --gem async

Show context content

Show the content of a specific context file:

$ bake agent:context:show --gem async --file thread-safety

Version Control

Both .context/ and agents.md should be committed to git:

  • agents.md is user-facing documentation that should be versioned.
  • .context/ files are referenced by agents.md and needed for AI agents to function properly.
  • This ensures AI agents in CI have access to the full context.

Providing Context in Your Gem

To provide context files in your gem, create a context/ directory in your gem's root:

your-gem/
├── context/
│   ├── getting-started.md
│   ├── usage.md
│   ├── configuration.md
│   └── index.yaml (optional)
├── lib/
└── your-gem.gemspec

Optional: Custom Index File

You can provide a custom index.yaml file to control ordering and metadata:

description: "Your gem description from gemspec"
version: "1.0.0"
files:
  - path: getting-started.md
    title: "Getting Started"
    description: "Quick start guide"
  - path: usage.md
    title: "Usage Guide"
    description: "Detailed usage instructions"

If no index.yaml is provided, one will be generated automatically from your gemspec and markdown files.

Releases

Please see the project releases for all releases.

v0.3.0

  • Rename agent.md -> agents.md.
