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 repository46 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
10 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 7 are 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.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Keep shared Elements CSS in src/common/index.css.

Import ./common/index.js from each page entrypoint before page-specific code.

Add new HTML pages to vite.config.ts build.rolldownOptions.input.
- Distinctive: line 15
Keep selected navigation state local to each page's static HTML.
- Distinctive: line 16
Use root-relative dev paths in source HTML when Vite owns serving.
- Very specific: line 20
Keep nve-transition on the root HTML for global transitions.
- Distinctive: line 21
Add component-level transition attributes only to pages that need them.
- Very specific: line 25
Run pnpm run build in projects/starters/mpa after adding pages or changing shared entries.
- Very specific: line 26
Run pnpm run lint after TypeScript or config changes.
≈ “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.

Elements MPA Starter
This file only covers how this starter wires Elements into a Vite multi-page app. For component APIs, template validation, and project setup commands, use the Elements CLI/MCP documentation instead.
Integration Points
- Keep shared Elements CSS in
src/common/index.css. - Keep shared Elements registrations in
src/common/index.ts. - Import
./common/index.jsfrom each page entrypoint before page-specific code. - Add new HTML pages to
vite.config.tsbuild.rolldownOptions.input.
Page Structure
- Each page owns its
<title>, metadata, stylesheet link, and module script. - Keep selected navigation state local to each page's static HTML.
- Use root-relative dev paths in source HTML when Vite owns serving; verify build output after adding nested pages.
View Transitions
- Keep
nve-transitionon the root HTML for global transitions. - Add component-level transition attributes only to pages that need them.
Verification
- Run
pnpm run buildinprojects/starters/mpaafter adding pages or changing shared entries. - Run
pnpm run lintafter TypeScript or config changes.

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.
