Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,774 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository11 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Assistant Context
Installed Skills
- escalation: Escalate unresolvable or sensitive requests to a human agent by recording an escalation entry. Use when the user asks to speak to a human, the bot cannot answer confidently, the request involves financial, legal, or security concerns, a safety issue is detected, or the user is frustrated after repeated failures.
- general: Handle everyday conversation, answer questions, manage files, take notes, run scripts, and maintain persistent memory across sessions. Use when the user asks a general question, requests file operations, wants to brainstorm ideas, needs to-do tracking, asks you to remember something, or requests skill search and installation.
- im-adapter: Format responses for instant messaging platforms such as Lark, DingTalk, WeCom, Slack, and Telegram. Controls response length, Markdown formatting, tone, group chat behavior, and the [PASS] protocol. Also covers sending images and files to the chat via [SEND_IMAGE]/[SEND_FILE] markers when the user asks for a picture or file. Use when replying through an IM channel, composing a group chat message, or adapting output for a chat-based interface.
- kb-guide: Search, read, create, and update knowledge base entries via MCP-connected KB tools. Use when the user asks to look up documentation, find existing articles, check if docs exist on a topic, create a new KB entry, update an existing document, or when domain questions should be answered from the knowledge base first.
- message-push: Send proactive messages to IM groups or individual users via the gateway Send API. Use when the user says to send, post, notify, forward, or tell someone a message on Feishu, Slack, Telegram, Discord, DingTalk, or WeCom.
- multi-bot: Coordinates responses between multiple GolemBot instances in a shared fleet. Use when the bot operates in a group chat with other bots, needs to decide whether to respond or pass, or must call a peer bot's API to fetch cross-domain data.
- task-manager: Creates and manages scheduled tasks, cron jobs, recurring reminders, and timers via the Task HTTP API. Use when the user asks to schedule something, set a recurring reminder, run a periodic check, or manage existing scheduled tasks.
