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 repository2 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
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
- Very specific: line 19
Do not call this brain market-ready unless scripts/audit_brain.py --require market-ready passes.
- Very specific: line 26
Keep Obsidian wiki/, CODEX.md, dashboards, canvases, frontmatter, wikilinks, graph hygiene, and source citations healthy.
≈ “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.

Operating Rules
- Do not call this brain market-ready unless
scripts/audit_brain.py --require market-readypasses. - A scaffold is not a finished brain.
- Domain-specific claims require dated trustworthy sources.
- Research evidence must be recorded in
references/source-ledger.json. - Adapter completion must be recorded in
references/adapter-manifest.json. - Preserve
.raw/as immutable source material. - Keep Obsidian
wiki/,CODEX.md, dashboards, canvases, frontmatter, wikilinks, graph hygiene, and source citations healthy. - V1 is advisory and read-only unless a future release defines approval and rollback for mutations.
- For grounded answers or vault maintenance, use
agents/deepseek-harness-secretary.md. It must cite a vault note and an official URL for any domain claim.

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.
