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 31,439 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
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 27
Use the manual release procedure.
- Very specific: line 31
Prefer uv for Python and Chrome-based tools for browser interaction.
≈ “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 Instructions
This repository publishes an on-demand professional knowledge library: six plugins and thirty-seven directly usable Skills. Role names organize expertise. The current assistant owns the user's task and combines relevant capabilities through completion.
Working Approach
Use the user's request, issues, code, tests and existing documents to establish the expected outcome. Select references, plans, formal documents and sub-agents when they materially help the task. Continue within existing authorization; ask when a material decision is missing or an action needs additional permission.
Repository Skill content is the product being maintained. Maintain this repository using the active assistant's configuration and the user's instructions. Preserve unrelated user changes, credentials and accurate verification evidence. Keep final artifacts and remove task-created temporary files and caches at completion.
Source Layout
- Plugins live in
agents/{role}/, with bilingual READMEs andskills/. - Each
SKILL.mddescribes a directly usable capability;_internal/andreferences/provide optional detail. .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, plugin manifests andskills-lock.jsondescribe installation and distribution.- Shared references are maintained in
agents/product_manager/skills/idea-to-spec/_internal/_shared/. Generate their packaged copies withscripts/generate_shared_contracts.py. AGENTS.mdis the repository guidance source;CLAUDE.mdis its relative symlink.
See architecture, document guidance and Skill maintenance for the relevant details.
Git and Release
Make maintenance changes on a branch and deliver them through a PR. Use <type>(<scope>): <中文描述> for commit and PR titles, Chinese bodies, and the author's own attribution. Preserve existing commits after a PR is created; append and push new commits normally. Amend, rebase and force-push require an explicit user request.
Merge after explicit maintainer authorization, using squash by default. After a verified merge, switch to the default branch, pull with --ff-only, and delete the exact merged local branch. Remote branch deletion requires explicit authorization.
Use the manual release procedure. Publication and deployment follow the user's explicit authorization. GitHub operations prefer Connector, then authenticated gh / GraphQL, then Chrome; verify bulk writes with gh.
Verification
Prefer uv for Python and Chrome-based tools for browser interaction. Read local time for time-sensitive work. Run relevant behavior tests together with:
uv run scripts/generate_shared_contracts.py --check
uv run scripts/check_repository_contract.py
uv run scripts/check_doc_contract.py
git diff --checkReport what changed, the verification results and any remaining limitations.
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.
