The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 9
Never add bulk OS upgrades, hidden installs, automatic authentication, permission bypass aliases or user-profile template writes.
- Very specific: line 12
Test with python tests/test_package.py.
- Very specific: line 14
Keep docs/validation.md honest about which native OS and installer paths ran.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.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.

Claude Code Essentials for VS Code
This repository provides opt-in Windows PowerShell and Bash setup entrypoints, focused guides and optional project templates.
- scripts/setup.ps1 and scripts/setup.sh own behavior.
- install-extensions entrypoints delegate to setup with the same safety defaults.
- Preview is default; selected installs require Apply/--apply.
- Never add bulk OS upgrades, hidden installs, automatic authentication, permission bypass aliases or user-profile template writes.
- Preserve existing installations. Check exit codes and postconditions.
- Test with python tests/test_package.py; fake external processes and disposable storage only. Real installer tests require separately proven confinement.
- Keep docs/validation.md honest about which native OS and installer paths ran.
- Source provenance: baseline 8b5575bff5f6cd3f0f964df54010233d9b04c010.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
