GenerateSaaSAgent context
What a generated project ships for AI coding agents - AGENTS.md, the docs silo, and the bundled update and translate skills installed into every tool root - and how update refreshes and eject removes them.
Every generated project ships a complete working context for AI coding agents, whichever assistant you use. Three layers, all installed by init:
| Layer | Where | What it gives an agent |
|---|---|---|
| AGENTS.md | Project root | Standing instructions tailored to your stack: where things live, house rules, the gotchas agents trip on. |
| Docs silo | docs/ | Feature and architecture reference citing real config keys and file paths - the facts an agent reads before it searches. |
| Skills | <root>/generatesaas-update/ and <root>/generatesaas-translate/ in every skill root | update applies a staged boilerplate update as a guided 3-way merge - you decide every change. translate keeps every locale in step with your agent as the translator, no API key needed - see i18n. |
Process skills are deliberately yours to write: the bundle carries only workflows that drive the project's own scripts, so it never competes with the conventions you give your agent.
Where the skills install
The same bundle is written to all five tool roots, unconditionally - which assistant you use is not a generation option:
.claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/, .agents/skills/, .gemini/skills/, .windsurf/skills/
Delete the roots you do not use, or leave them - they are inert text. Your own skills live safely beside the bundled ones: nothing in the lifecycle below ever touches a directory it did not ship.
Lifecycle
| Command | Effect on the bundle |
|---|---|
init | Installs AGENTS.md, the docs silo, and the skills into every root. |
update | Refreshes the bundled skills in every root, always - even when no new version is staged. Writes only the bundled skill names; your own skills are never modified or deleted. |
eject | Removes exactly the shipped skill directories from every root, and nothing else. |
Update
Pull the latest boilerplate version - the CLI stages a template re-shaped for your exact config, and your AI assistant applies the diff file by file while preserving your customizations.
Manifest
The .generatesaas/manifest.json record of every option your project was built with, which update reads to re-shape each new boilerplate version into your exact configuration.
