This repository packages public Fable orchestration practices. 1. Read README.md for the public promise and proof boundary. 2. Read SECURITY.md before touching hooks, installer behavior, credentials, or private-data handling. 3. Create or reuse a GitHub issue before meaningful implementation work. 4. Keep all examples public-safe. - CLAUDE.md content is additive, not replacement guidance. - Installer behavior defaults to dry-run and requires --apply for mutation. - Hooks must be idempotent and fail-open. - Never add hardcoded API tokens, cookies, raw transcripts,…
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 31,542 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 repository5 other files it gives its agents.
The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
8 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
