Create AI-friendly project structures using progressive disclosure indexing (AGENTS.md, module INDEX.md files, file intent headers). ALWAYS use this skill when the user wants to: create or update AGENTS.md or llms.txt, add INDEX.md files to modules, set up project navigation for AI agents, retrofit an existing codebase with AI-friendly indexes, design module boundaries with explicit dependency and modification-risk documentation, or mentions "AI-friendly project", "progressive disclosure", "project index", "codebase navigation", or "ariadne". Also use when the user asks how to structure a new project so AI tools can navigate it efficiently, even if they don't use these exact terms.

When to use

• Starts a new project and wants AI-friendly structure
• Restructures or indexes an existing codebase
• Adds project navigation (AGENTS.md, INDEX.md, llms.txt)
• Designs module boundaries and dependencies
• Mentions: "AI-friendly project", "progressive disclosure", "project index", "codebase navigation", or "ariadne"

When not to use

• minimal single-file projects
• quick prototypes
• codebases where indexing overhead outweighs benefit
• projects with fewer than ~5 source files
