ai:geminiai:agenttype:audittype:review

Audits and rewrites AI agent instruction files (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md) in any repo. Strips stale or foreign content, applies Karpathy's four behavioral principles, ensures platform-specific sections, and makes each file authoritative rather than a copy of another. Trigger when the user says "optimize my CLAUDE.md", "audit agent instructions", "improve my CLAUDE.md", "apply Karpathy principles to my agent files", "clean up my copilot instructions", "review my GEMINI.md", or "update my AI instruction files".
