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
11 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈8
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” 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.

PaperJury Codex Instructions
PaperJury Codex is a Codex-first skill. Use codex/phase-contracts.md as the
prompt/schema/isolation contract and follow codex/runtime.md for runtime
orchestration.
All paths in this file are repository-root relative.
Load Order
For any Codex task that uses, ports, audits, or changes PaperJury:
- Read
SKILL.md. - If the task involves review, auto mode, fan-out, or subagents, read
codex/runtime.md. - For Codex semantic phase work, read
codex/phase-contracts.md. - For engine changes, read
references/review-engine-v3.mdandreferences/ledger-schema.md. - For user-facing install or usage docs, also read
codex/AGENT-GUIDE.md.
Codex Runtime Rules
- Do not require Claude Workflow files for Codex operation.
- Use
codex/phase-contracts.mdfor semantic phase inputs, outputs, isolation lines, and deterministic validation rules. - Use
node scripts/*.jsfor deterministic guards. - Use Codex subagents for semantic fan-out only when the user has explicitly authorized multi-agent work. If subagents are unavailable or unauthorized, run a clearly labeled degraded path and do not claim full isolation.
- Keep reviewer and juror prompts isolated: inline only the manuscript/context they may judge, pass no project file paths, no ledger, no prior-round reports, and no peer outputs.
- Never edit a manuscript without explicit author sign-off. Auto mode requires up-front policy sign-off and queues anything outside the authorized envelope.
- Store mutable state in the project-owned
.paper-review/directory:LEDGER.json, renderedLEDGER.md,journal.jsonl,spine.json, and any stableCONVENTIONS.md. - Do not hardcode local paper paths into the skill.
Validation
Before finishing a migration or runtime change, run static checks when possible:
node scripts/doctor.js --project <paper-project>python <codex-skill-creator>/scripts/quick_validate.py <paperjury-dir>git status --short
Do not run a real paper-review scenario unless the user explicitly asks for it.
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.
