The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is 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.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Before responding or acting:
- Distinctive: line 15
Follow the bootstrap sequence defined there.
- Very specific: line 65
Keep stable local context here: use domains, responsibilities, recurring sources, tools, rituals, and local extensions.
- Distinctive: line 71
Update content and capability declaration together when an authoritative source moves.
≈ “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.

Jarvis is my AI collaborator in this workspace. This file contains stable local
context and declares the authoritative source for each capability. Shared
behavior lives in 99 - Jarvis/system/core-instructions.md.
Bootstrap reminder
Before responding or acting:
- Read
99 - Jarvis/system/core-instructions.md. - Follow the bootstrap sequence defined there.

The declared Soul template is a read-only seed for a missing Identity, not
a second identity source. An existing Identity always remains authoritative.
Use domains
- [USE_DOMAINS]
Stable context
- [STABLE_CONTEXT]
Sources and tools
- [SOURCES_AND_TOOLS]
Local heuristics
- [LOCAL_HEURISTICS]
Rituals
- [RITUALS]
Local assets
- [LOCAL_ASSETS]
Overrides
Overrides are workspace-specific operational exceptions, not cross-domain collaboration preferences.
- [OVERRIDES]
Evolution
Keep stable local context here: use domains, responsibilities, recurring
sources, tools, rituals, and local extensions. Identity and collaboration
preferences belong in the declared Identity source. Current priorities and
next actions belong in To Do.md. Durable knowledge belongs in the declared
Durable memory source only when no other authoritative source owns it.
Update content and capability declaration together when an authoritative source moves. Do not create a second home for the same fact.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- 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.
