Writing a good AGENTS.md shouldn’t take weeks of source digging.
mimeo is a Python tool that turns an expert’s body of work into a ready-to-use Agent Skill or AGENTS.md for your coding agent.
It helps you install better defaults into an agent by discovering sources, fetching transcripts/articles, distilling the recurring ideas, clustering them, and writing the final markdown artifact.
Key features:
• Two output formats – generate a SKILL.md with references, an AGENTS.md, or both • Source discovery pipeline – searches across essays, talks, interviews, podcasts, books, papers, and more • Full-content extraction – uses web extraction, YouTube captions, and optional local Whisper transcription for podcasts • Quote verification – checks clustered quotes against fetched source text and logs an audit trail • Critique pass – runs an adversarial-editor review and writes a scored issue report before you ship
It’s open-source (MIT license).

This paper evaluates whether repository-level context files like AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md improve coding agent performance, finding that LLM-generated context files offer little benefit and may reduce efficiency, while developer-written files are better but still not clearly advantageous.
