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 31,542 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, 2 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
6
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Follow the same clear writing standard in search titles and descriptions.
- Very specific: line 45
Check both local root and /rea/ paths, mobile layouts, expanded details, copying and downloads.
- Distinctive: line 51
Check setup and support statements against the current installation/provider guides and released package.

Keep website-pages.yml as the sole, manual production publisher for Cloudflare and Pages.
≈ “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.

Website maintenance

Read README.md and style-guide.md before changing
website content, layout or figures. Use figures.md and evidence/
for asset notes and the source of case-study claims.
- Author source pages in English. Use direct headings and concrete instructions in every language. Each paragraph should explain a new fact or action.
- Follow locales/README.md for translations. Edit standard PO
catalogs, run
translations extractafter changing source text, and review translated setup prompts, terminology and case-study reasoning for readability. Keep code, commands, URLs, paths and Evidence unchanged. Use inlinecodeortranslate="no"for executable literals inside a translated sentence. Preserve named placeholders, source references and reviewer comments. Generated language HTML belongs in ignored_site/; do not author duplicate translated pages. - Keep the language inventory aligned with README editions. Review long headings, figures and right-to-left layouts. A missing or fuzzy translation produces a labeled, nonindexable English fallback; do not present stale text as current.
- Reuse the shared styles, prompts, figures and code-step components. Keep a case study focused on one question, with further examples in native details.
- Edit shared header, footer and sharing markup in
templates/; runpython3 scripts/website.py syncand commit the rendered regions with their templates. Keep page bodies outside the marked regions. Author each title and description once; derive sharing fields and canonicals from them. Usenew-pagefor a reading-page scaffold, then add its index link. Keep a draft's visible label andnoindexuntil the content is ready. - Show what REA returns and how the agent uses it. Preserve source attribution, target identity and verification scope.
- Blog articles teach methods, decisions and workflows through concrete cases.
Lead with the takeaway. Essays can develop a personal argument through
experience; figures are optional and should add an explanation the prose
needs. Use engine details only when they explain a decision. Label working
outlines and mark them
noindex. - Keep personal paths, account data, credentials and raw captures outside the public assets. Use generic inputs and label shortened display paths.
- Follow the same clear writing standard in search titles and descriptions.
Give each content page its own absolute
https://reareverse.com/canonical and matching sharing metadata; keep navigation relative. The sitemap is generated from HTML automatically. Mark example applicationsnoindexin the head and keep them crawlable. Maintain the SVG sharing source, not the generated PNG. - Check both local root and
/rea/paths, mobile layouts, expanded details, copying and downloads. Check light and dark themes, including a manual choice opposite to the system preference. Runpython3 scripts/website.py check, using the Python environment described in the README. It rejects drift rather than silently rewriting shared HTML. Usewebsite.py linksfor an optional network audit; distinguish missing targets from access denials and unverified fragments. - Check setup and support statements against the current installation/provider guides and released package. Preserve historical case-study checkpoints and versions unless a new investigation supplies replacement evidence.
- Keep
website-pages.ymlas the sole, manual production publisher for Cloudflare and Pages. Default toboth: both hosts receive the same verified artifact and pass the published-commit check. Usepagesonly when explicitly requested while Cloudflare credentials are being configured. Follow the website README.

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.
