Self-maintaining agent instructions

On a schedule, Overcut clones the repo, finds or starts the right branch, analyzes structure and conventions, regenerates AGENTS.md, filters out the noise, and commits a clean PR only when something real changed.

The edge cases, covered

A significance check discards stylistic churn and the workflow reuses open drafts, so you get meaningful updates instead of a stream of trivial PRs.

Significance filter

Reviews the diff and discards purely stylistic or formatting changes, reverting the file so you never get a noise PR.

Reuses open drafts

Finds an existing AGENTS.md PR and builds on its branch instead of opening a duplicate, keeping updates incremental.

Pattern recognition

Scans workflows, READMEs, and code structure to capture new conventions and best practices automatically.

Skips when nothing changed

If analysis finds no meaningful updates, it exits cleanly without committing or creating a pull request.

Adapts to any repo

Tailors the generated sections to whatever the repository contains and preserves your existing structure and style when updating.

Drops into any repository

Works with any repo on your git host — reading workflows, READMEs, and code to document the patterns it finds, then raising a pull request.

Running from day one

Runs automatically on a daily cron schedule you can tune to any interval, or fire it on demand with /update-agents-md to regenerate immediately.
