We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 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.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 9
Do not report style, formatting, naming nits, or diagnostics already enforced by Ruff, mypy --strict, ESLint, or tsc within their …
- Very specific: line 13
Every finding must name file:line, the concrete failing scenario and consequence, and the bug class so the author can fix every instance.
- Very specific: line 14
Start the summary with the count of Important findings.
- Distinctive: line 15
Keep completion criteria, templates, and eval rubrics conditional on the selected workflow branch: stop, rejection, zero-candidate, and …
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 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.

Code Review Rules
- Failure means package instructions in
skills/*/SKILL.md,agents/*/AGENT.md, orcommands/*/COMMAND.mdcontradict their bundled scripts/references and make the documented workflow fail or take an unauthorized action. - Failure means a package description routes a concrete request to the wrong package or excludes an intended invocation; demonstrate the conflicting trigger and workflow rather than guessing from a name.
- Failure means
scripts/generate_manifest.py,scripts/generate_adapters.py, orscripts/build_router_index.pydrops or misrepresents package metadata, required supporting files, or history-derived routing evidence; identify the affected package/host/request. - Respect CI coverage:
package.ymlchecks manifest drift and regenerates/validates adapters, but does not compare committed adapters for drift;router-index.ymlrebuilds on main/schedule/manual dispatch, not as a PR synchronization gate. Report semantic generator defects or demonstrated adapter drift at their source, not duplicate manifest/frontmatter/reference/eval-schema gate errors. - Do not report style, formatting, naming nits, or diagnostics already enforced by Ruff,
mypy --strict, ESLint, ortscwithin their configured scopes in.github/workflows/tests.ymlandextensions/package.json; speculative hardening is not a finding. - Review PR-introduced failures only. Tag unchanged-code issues
Pre-existingwithout requesting a fix; do not repeat findings already raised on an earlier commit of the same PR unless the attempted fix introduces a distinct failure. - Paths to skip for line-by-line review: generated
manifest.yamlandadapters/**; review canonical package definitions and generator logic instead. Generated-output comparisons may support a source-level finding. - Lockfiles (
uv.lock,extensions/bun.lock) stay in scope for dependency changes: flag packages added or version-changed without a matching change inpyproject.tomlorextensions/package.json; do not review them line by line. - Every finding must name
file:line, the concrete failing scenario and consequence, and the bug class so the author can fix every instance; tag itImportant,Nit, orPre-existing. A suggestive identifier alone is not evidence. - Start the summary with the count of
Importantfindings; when there are no actionable findings, say plainly: "Nothing to fix." - Keep completion criteria, templates, and eval rubrics conditional on the selected workflow branch: stop, rejection, zero-candidate, and small/no-plan paths must not require artifacts or continuation that their own instructions forbid.
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 28,693 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.

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.
