Deep Init Skill

Creates comprehensive, hierarchical AGENTS.md documentation across the entire codebase.

Core Concept

AGENTS.md files serve as AI-readable documentation that helps agents understand:

  • What each directory contains
  • How components relate to each other
  • Special instructions for working in that area
  • Dependencies and relationships

Hierarchical Tagging System

Every AGENTS.md (except root) includes a parent reference tag:

<!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->

This creates a navigable hierarchy:

/AGENTS.md                          ← Root (no parent tag)
├── src/AGENTS.md                   ← <!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->
│   ├── src/components/AGENTS.md    ← <!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->
│   └── src/utils/AGENTS.md         ← <!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->
└── docs/AGENTS.md                  ← <!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->

AGENTS.md Template

<!-- Parent: {relative_path_to_parent}/AGENTS.md -->
<!-- Generated: {timestamp} | Updated: {timestamp} -->

# {Directory Name}

## Purpose
{One-paragraph description of what this directory contains and its role}

## Key Files

Execution Workflow

Step 1: Map Directory Structure

Task(subagent_type="explore", model="haiku",
  prompt="List all directories recursively. Exclude: node_modules, .git, dist, build, __pycache__, .venv, coverage, .next, .nuxt")

Step 2: Create Work Plan

Generate todo items for each directory, organized by depth level:

Level 0: / (root)
Level 1: /src, /docs, /tests
Level 2: /src/components, /src/utils, /docs/api
...

Step 3: Generate Level by Level

IMPORTANT: Generate parent levels before child levels to ensure parent references are valid.

For each directory:

  1. Read all files in the directory
  2. Analyze purpose and relationships
  3. Generate AGENTS.md content
  4. Write file with proper parent reference

Step 4: Compare and Update (if exists)

When AGENTS.md already exists:

  1. Read existing content
  2. Identify sections:
    • Auto-generated sections (can be updated)
    • Manual sections (<!-- MANUAL --> preserved)
  3. Compare:
    • New files added?
    • Files removed?
    • Structure changed?
  4. Merge:
    • Update auto-generated content
    • Preserve manual annotations
    • Update timestamp

Step 5: Validate Hierarchy

After generation, run validation checks:

Check How to Verify Corrective Action
Parent references resolve Read each AGENTS.md, check <!-- Parent: --> path exists Fix path or remove orphan
No orphaned AGENTS.md Compare AGENTS.md locations to directory structure Delete orphaned files
Completeness List all directories, check for AGENTS.md Generate missing files
Timestamps current Check <!-- Generated: --> dates Regenerate outdated files

Validation script pattern:

# Find all AGENTS.md files
find . -name "AGENTS.md" -type f

# Check parent references
grep -r "<!-- Parent:" --include="AGENTS.md" .

Smart Delegation

Task Agent
Directory mapping explore
File analysis architect
Content generation writer
AGENTS.md writes writer

Empty Directory Handling

When encountering empty or near-empty directories:

Condition Action
No files, no subdirectories Skip - do not create AGENTS.md
No files, has subdirectories Create minimal AGENTS.md with subdirectory listing only
Has only generated files (*.min.js, *.map) Skip or minimal AGENTS.md
Has only config files Create AGENTS.md describing configuration purpose

Example minimal AGENTS.md for directory-only containers:

<!-- Parent: ../AGENTS.md -->
# {Directory Name}

## Purpose
Container directory for organizing related modules.

## Subdirectories
| Directory | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `subdir/` | Description (see `subdir/AGENTS.md`) |

Parallelization Rules

  1. Same-level directories: Process in parallel
  2. Different levels: Sequential (parent first)
  3. Large directories: Spawn dedicated agent per directory
  4. Small directories: Batch multiple into one agent

Quality Standards

Must Include

  • Accurate file descriptions
  • Correct parent references
  • Subdirectory links
  • AI agent instructions

Must Avoid

  • Generic boilerplate
  • Incorrect file names
  • Broken parent references
  • Missing important files

Example Output

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add deepinit
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/yeachan-heo/oh-my-claudecode --skill deepinit

The skills CLI fetches deepinit from GitHub repository yeachan-heo/oh-my-claudecode and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/deepinit

Reload or restart Cursor to activate deepinit. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /deepinit) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.

  5. 5.Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
  6. 6.Build template library for recurring PM tasks
  7. 7.Share effective prompts with product team

Common Pitfalls

  • Not validating competitive research—verify facts before sharing
  • Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
  • Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
  • Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
  • Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
  • +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
  • +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
  • +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
  • +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
  • +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
