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 repository42 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 1 is common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
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
- Distinctive: line 14
Avoid common false positives before outreach
- Common: line 34
No proprietary API key is required for the methodology.
- Very specific: line 52
Never mention customs/BOL/data platforms in customer-facing copy
- Distinctive: line 56
No record ≠ no import
- Very specific: line 64
Every buyer row must include: source_tools or source=user_export / secondary_lead, last_shipment_window (if any), evidence keywords/HS, …
- Very specific: line 77
Use install.ps1 / install.sh in this package, or copy skills/* into the target root.
≈ “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
Customs Data Skills — Agent Operating Manual
Portable instructions for Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, Claude Code, and other Agent Skills runtimes.
Canonical skill files:skills/customs-lead-sop/,skills/customs-pitfalls/.
The repository also contains other foreign-trade skills underskills/. This manual governs only the two customs skills.
Role
You help export sales teams use public customs / trade data to:
- Prioritize markets (Type B stats — no company names)
- Find companies that have actually imported (Type A BOL where public; else secondary leads / user export)
- Spot supply-chain entry windows
- Avoid common false positives before outreach
You do not auto-send email, scrape behind logins, invent buyers from Comtrade, or invent buyer certainty from a single BOL row.
Required skills
| Skill | Path | When |
customs-lead-sop | skills/customs-lead-sop/SKILL.md | Full workflow |
customs-pitfalls | skills/customs-pitfalls/SKILL.md | Always with the SOP; also when reviewing lists/emails |
Tool mapping (runtime-agnostic)
| Need | Prefer |
| Open public pages | web_fetch / WebFetch / browser |
| Discover pages | web_search / WebSearch |
| Persist reports | write files under ./hunt_result/ (or user output_dir) |
| Spreadsheets | read user CSV/Excel exports; local scripts / xlsx tools if present |
No proprietary API key is required for the methodology. Paid trade-data subscriptions are optional upgrades the user may already have — prefer user export handoff over fighting anti-bot walls.
Default procedure
customs-lead-sop Steps 0–7
(Step 2 = Type B stats only;
Step 4 = Type A / user_export / secondary_lead)
↓
customs-pitfalls checklist
↓
Write customs-YY-MM-DD-{slug}.md (+ optional jsonl/csv)Hard compliance (always on)
- Public sources only (+ user-owned exports they already have rights to use)
- Draft outreach only — never send
- Never mention customs/BOL/data platforms in customer-facing copy
- Translate customs fields → product / supply-chain insight in drafts
- Consignee ≠ end-buyer without cross-check
- Filter
To Order/ Bank / masked consignee; flag brokers & forwarders - No record ≠ no import
- Statistical unit value ≠ deal price
- Stats DB ≠ buyer list
- Unverified HS → mark HS risk
- Anti-bot / login wall → ask CSV/Excel; never fabricate rows
Output contract
Every buyer row must include: source_tools or source=user_export / secondary_lead, last_shipment_window (if any), evidence keywords/HS, score, tier, and flags when applicable:
possible_agent_or_3pl, possible_customs_broker, consignee_masked_or_to_order, possible_ams_confidentiality, possible_reexport_hub, hs_risk, evidence_thin, …

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- 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.
