This repository stores reusable Codex skills and agent knowledge.
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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. About 1 is common, 4 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
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
- Distinctive: line 8
Do not mix generated collection docs into a skill package unless the skill needs them at runtime.
- Very specific: line 9
Keep SKILL.md focused on trigger, purpose, constraints, and workflow.
- Very specific: line 10
Put longer task-specific guidance in references/ and load it only when needed.
- Very specific: line 11
Put deterministic helpers in scripts/.
- Distinctive: line 12
Keep examples concise and portable across repositories.
- Very specific: line 13
When running PowerShell commands on Windows, do not use && as a command separator.
- Distinctive: line 18
Avoid unrelated formatting churn in skill files.
- Distinctive: line 19
Keep repository-level docs short and useful for curation.
- Common: line 20
Do not commit local secrets, credentials, generated caches, or temporary Codex state.
≈ “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.

Repository Agent Instructions
This repository stores reusable Codex skills and agent knowledge.
Rules
- Preserve skill package boundaries. Keep each skill under
skills/<skill-name>/. - Do not mix generated collection docs into a skill package unless the skill needs them at runtime.
- Keep
SKILL.mdfocused on trigger, purpose, constraints, and workflow. - Put longer task-specific guidance in
references/and load it only when needed. - Put deterministic helpers in
scripts/; prefer scripts for repeatable scaffolding and checks. - Keep examples concise and portable across repositories.
- When running PowerShell commands on Windows, do not use
&&as a command separator. Run sequential commands as separate tool calls, or use clear native PowerShell control flow when one command truly depends on another.
Change Hygiene
- Review copied skill changes before committing.
- Avoid unrelated formatting churn in skill files.
- Keep repository-level docs short and useful for curation.
- Do not commit local secrets, credentials, generated caches, or temporary Codex state.

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.
