Use a specialist when the work benefits from an independent review or a distinct area of expertise. A code change does not require a fixed sequence of planning, architecture, testing, and review agents. Handle small, clear edits directly. For delegated work, name the owned files or responsibility, expected result, and checks. Preserve other agents' edits and resources. Use the agents available in the current client; an unavailable agent name is not a reason to abandon work that can be completed…

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 31,843 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 repository68 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this agents.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 5
Use a specialist when the work benefits from an independent review or a distinct area of expertise.
- Distinctive: line 14
All subagents run on Sonnet by default.
- Distinctive: line 20
Run independent bounded tasks in parallel when delegation is allowed and useful work can continue locally.
≈ “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.

Agent Orchestration
Choose help by the task
Use a specialist when the work benefits from an independent review or a distinct area of expertise. A code change does not require a fixed sequence of planning, architecture, testing, and review agents. Handle small, clear edits directly.
For delegated work, name the owned files or responsibility, expected result, and checks. Preserve other agents' edits and resources. Use the agents available in the current client; an unavailable agent name is not a reason to abandon work that can be completed locally.
Model for subagents (HARD RULE)
All subagents run on Sonnet by default. Владелец 02-11-2026: «все инджесты запускать на сонете, все агенты должны его по умолчанию использовать».
~/.claude/settings.jsonsetsCLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL=sonnet, and every agent in~/.claude/agents/pinsmodel: sonnet(exceptobsidian-hub-creator, which stays on Haiku).- Paper ingests (
paper-ingest,want-2-read, any batch of papers) always run on Sonnet. When spawning one through the Agent tool, passmodel: "sonnet"explicitly. - Override with another model only when the owner asks for it in that conversation.
Parallel execution
Run independent bounded tasks in parallel when delegation is allowed and useful work can continue locally. Keep dependent operations and shared-file edits sequential.
Available agents (~/.claude/agents/)
Research: literature-reviewer, paper-miner, kaggle-miner
Dev: architect, build-error-resolver, code-reviewer, refactor-cleaner, tdd-guide, bug-analyzer, dev-planner
Design: ui-sketcher, story-generator
Academic reviews and rebuttals use astar-paper-review and review-response directly.
Their own workflows define any specialist roles they need.
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.
