AGENTS.md35 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub

Portable instructions for any coding agent (Codex, Gemini, Cursor, and others) working in this repository. Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, which says the same thing. A single-script Claude Code skill. scripts/scout.py searches YouTube Data API v3 for a topic, enriches each video, and writes an .xlsx research workbook. SKILL.md is the runtime contract the agent follows when a user types /scout.

  • Reads credentials
  • 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.

The file

We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  • could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
  1. Distinctive:

    Keep dependencies to the standard library plus openpyxl.

    line 14
  2. Very specific:

    Run python -m pytest and ruff check .

    line 15
  3. Very specific:

    Never commit keys, .env files, workbooks, downloads, or cache.

    line 16
  4. Distinctive:

    No em dashes in any output.

    line 17
  5. Very specific:

    Update SKILL.md, README.md, and CHANGELOG.md when flags, columns, or exit codes change.

    line 18
  6. Distinctive:

    Do not change repository visibility, create releases, or push without explicit instruction.

    line 19

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

  2. Run python -m pytest and ruff check . before proposing a change. Tests are offline.
