Agent::Context

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

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 agent.md file is generated or updated to provide a comprehensive overview for AI agents.

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 agent.md with a comprehensive overview.
• Follows the https://agent.md specification for agentic coding tools.

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 agent.md.

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.

Add the agent-context gem to your project:

$ bundle add agent-context

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

$ bake agent:context:install

Install context from a specific gem:

$ bake agent:context:install --gem async

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 the content of a specific context file:

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

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

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

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

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.

The generated agent.md file can be integrated with various AI coding tools by creating symbolic links to their expected locations:

ln -s agent.md .clinerules

ln -s agent.md CLAUDE.md

First, create the .cursor/rules directory:

mkdir -p .cursor/rules

Then create .cursor/rules/agent.mdc with:

---
alwaysApply: true
---
Read the `agent.md` file in the project root directory for detailed context relating to this project and external dependencies.

This approach uses Cursor's proper front-matter format and directs the AI to consult the main agent.md file.

ln -s agent.md AGENTS.md

ln -s ../../agent.md .github/copilot-instructions.md

ln -s agent.md .replit.md

ln -s agent.md .windsurfrules
