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 31,843 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 repository16 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.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
- Very specific: line 9
Keep authoring docs, evaluation fixtures, and orchestration outside skills/.
- Distinctive: line 15
Keep Rust-specific invariants.
- Very specific: line 20
Use docs/reference-review.md when changing instruction behavior or coordinating review.
≈ “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.

Maintaining Rust CLI Skills
This repository authors independent instructions, not a Rust application. Work directly on a clear request; a design document or agent team is not a prerequisite.
Contracts
- Each installed skill remains self-contained:
SKILL.mdandLICENSEonly. Keep authoring docs, evaluation fixtures, and orchestration outsideskills/. - Preserve skill names, installation paths, supported project choices, and the distinction between review, diagnosis, implementation, and publication.
plugin.jsonowns metadata. Change it before synchronizing native manifests; do not hand-edit generated metadata or publish a release during instruction work.- Improve a decision boundary against a concrete failure or counterexample. Keep Rust-specific invariants; remove generic advice that adds no decision. Descriptions select a decision, not every task touching Rust.
Context and evidence
Use docs/reference-review.md when changing instruction behavior or coordinating
review. Use docs/behavioral-evaluation.md for the wider scenario protocol and
evals/README.md for executable fixtures. Use docs/distribution.md only for
packaging or installation changes. These are conditional pointers, not a reading list.
Select relevant checks from .github/workflows/checks.yml; one owner integrates
results. Reuse a passing result while its inputs, configuration, and environment
remain applicable. Workers do not repeat the owner's aggregate checks. Fix
introduced failures and rerun affected checks; unrelated failures remain distinct.
The new evaluator's unit tests join the existing Python test discovery; there is
no model call, paid service, or Rust toolchain installation in that fast gate.
Report packaging checks, fixture/oracle checks, and actual model evaluations separately. A skipped toolchain, missing trace, exhausted review budget, or absent subagent is unavailable evidence, not a pass. Never present serial self-review as independent review. Keep releases and protected-branch integration owner-controlled.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
