Generate mode
A 7-step wizard that generates production-grade AI instruction files and project docs grounded in your actual tech stack — not generic boilerplate.
When to use Generate mode
- Starting a new project and want AGENTS.md + CLAUDE.md set up correctly from day one
- Onboarding a new team member — generate CONTRIBUTING.md from your real repo conventions
- Open-sourcing a project — generate README + SECURITY + CONTRIBUTING in one pass
- Retrofitting AI context files onto an existing codebase

The 7 wizard steps
What are you building?
Choose from: website or web app, mobile app, backend or API, tool or library, design system, or something else (you describe it).
Who's it for?
Just me (personal project), My team, or The public (open source / anyone). Controls which files are recommended — public projects get CONTRIBUTING.md and SECURITY.md; team projects get a team-focused CONTRIBUTING.md.
Which AI tools?
Select the AI coding tools you use: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, ChatGPT/Codex, or "Not sure yet". Selecting Claude Code adds CLAUDE.md to recommendations; any AI tool selection adds AGENTS.md.
Tech stack
Paste your package.json, requirements.txt, or any text that describes your stack. MDPilot auto-detects technologies — Next.js, React, FastAPI, Go, Docker, Stripe, Supabase, and many others. Or type it manually.
Output style
Choose who will read the output: AI coding agent (terse, machine-parseable), Developer joining the team (engineering-level, project-specific), Non-technical reader (plain language, all terms defined), or I'm learning (explains the why behind each decision). This controls depth and vocabulary throughout all generated files.
Files to generate
MDPilot recommends files based on your earlier answers. Tick or untick any combination. Non-technical audience sees a "goal-first" view with plain names and jargon-free reasons; others see technical file names with recommended pre-selected.
Review & generate
See a summary of your choices and select an AI model provider. MDPilot generates one file at a time — each takes 5–15 seconds. All generated files pass through the 5-pass token optimizer automatically.
Via MCP: Use the generate_md_file tool to generate any supported file type from inside your IDE. The MCP version reads your actual repo files, so output references real scripts and paths. MCP setup →
