Map project context into each tool's documented instruction format without inventing support.

English Tiếng Việt

A format comparison prompt for keeping one source of project facts while emitting tool-specific files correctly.

Reusable content

Compare the requested coding tools using their current official documentation. For each tool, name the supported file path, syntax or frontmatter, scoping behavior, and how nested instructions interact. Separate verified facts from assumptions. Recommend a minimal shared project context and identify which content must be tool-specific. Do not claim automatic cross-tool compatibility. Provide one small valid example per target and link each format rule to its official source.

Project context: {{PROJECT_CONTEXT}}

Target tools: {{TARGET_TOOLS}}

Official documentation to check: {{CURRENT_DOCS}}

How to use it

Tool formats change; verify current official docs before shipping generator output.

Example

AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md are root Markdown files; Cursor `.mdc` uses frontmatter; Copilot repository instructions use `.github/copilot-instructions.md`.
