Prefer rewriting or pruning existing entries over appending new ones.
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 31,700 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 repository9 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
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 9
Before you change a package, read its VISION.md.
- Very specific: line 10
When a change fails that test, stop and tell the author.
- Distinctive: line 18
Every rule has a test that goes red without it.
- Distinctive: line 25
Keep this file for knowledge useful to almost every future agent session in this repository.
- Distinctive: line 26
Do not repeat what the code already shows.
- Distinctive: line 27
Prefer rewriting or pruning existing entries over appending new ones.
≈ “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.
Files
AGENTS.md
This repository is the azd325/skills collection.
Each folder in plugins/ (code: hooks, extensions) or skills/ (prompt-only SKILL.md) is one package that installs on its own.
Orientation
- Each package's
VISION.mdis its acceptance policy and covers only that package. - Before you change a package, read its
VISION.md. Run its closing accept/resist test againstVISION.mdalone. - When a change fails that test, stop and tell the author. Do not edit
VISION.mdto make the change pass. - A package may have its own
AGENTS.md. Read it before you change the package. README.mdat the root lists the packages; each packageREADME.mdholds its layout and commands.
Rules for every package
- Rules that apply to every package live in this file, not in a package vision.
- A prompt skill never claims enforcement; enforcement is code with tests.
- Every rule has a test that goes red without it. Remove the rule, see the test fail, then restore the rule.
- A package installs without the author's dotfiles.
- Each package keeps its own
CHANGELOG.md. Add every user-facing change under## [Unreleased]in the same commit. - A new package needs its own
VISION.md,README.md,CHANGELOG.mdandLICENSE, a row in the rootREADME.md, and, for a plugin, an entry in.claude-plugin/marketplace.json. Its ownAGENTS.mdis optional.

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.
