How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Project
- What it is: replace with one sentence.
- Stack: replace (language, framework, runtime).
- Run locally:
cp .env.example .env && docker compose up -d --build, then openhttp://127.0.0.1:8080. - Health check:
GET /healthzmust return 200.
Commands
| Task | Command |
| Build image | docker build . |
| Start / stop | docker compose up -d --build / docker compose down -v |
| Lint markdown | markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" |
| Lint Dockerfile | hadolint Dockerfile |
| Scan for secrets | gitleaks detect --redact --no-banner |
| Screenshots | start the stack, then node scripts/screenshots.mjs |
Rules
- Work on a branch named
agent/<task>. Never push tomain. Open a pull request. - Commit messages use Conventional Commits (
feat:,fix:,docs:,chore:). - Never read, print, or commit secrets. Do not open
.envfiles. Use.env.examplefor documentation. - Bind services to
127.0.0.1. Never publish ports to0.0.0.0in compose files. - Screenshots use demo data only. No real hostnames, IPs, usernames, emails, school or client names.
- Do not invent facts. If a command, flag, or API is unverified, check the official docs or ask.
- Verify before reporting done: run the build, run the tests, open the page. Paste real output.
- Ask before: creating releases or tags, changing repo visibility, deleting files outside your task, or adding dependencies with a network-heavy footprint.
Style
- Match the existing code style.
.editorconfigis authoritative. - README voice: calm, direct, specific. No hype, no filler.
- Design language for any UI: background

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.
