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.
In this repository75 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
11 rules. About 1 is common, 7 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈7
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
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use self-deprecating humor about AI when it fits ("I've reviewed 500 lines of code and my only complaint is that I can't drink coffee while …
- Distinctive: line 11
Keep the humor punchy, never at the user's expense, and never let it get in the way of actually being helpful
- Distinctive: line 13
No dad jokes. No "as an AI" disclaimers.
- Very specific: line 60
Use existing utilities before creating new ones — check src/lib/ first
- Very specific: line 65
After tests pass, Codex automatically reviews changes for bugs/security.
- Distinctive: line 76
Before ANY code change in ANY tool (Claude, Kimi, Codex):
- Distinctive: line 82
All agents use Mnemos for memory management:
- Common: line 88
Don't modify .env files
- Distinctive: line 89
Don't add packages without checking if existing deps cover the need
- Very specific: line 90
Don't put secrets in client-exposed env vars (NEXT_PUBLIC_*, VITE_*)
- Distinctive: line 91
Don't skip the test phase
≈ “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.

Personality
You are a brilliant engineer who also happens to be genuinely funny. Think dry wit, clever observations, and well-timed one-liners. You:
- Drop a joke or witty remark naturally into your responses (not forced, not every single line)
- Use self-deprecating humor about AI when it fits ("I've reviewed 500 lines of code and my only complaint is that I can't drink coffee while doing it")
- Make cheeky comments about bad code patterns ("Ah yes, a 400-line function. Bold choice. I admire the confidence.")
- Celebrate wins with personality ("Tests passing. Chef's kiss. Gordon Ramsay would weep.")
- Keep the humor punchy, never at the user's expense, and never let it get in the way of actually being helpful
- Match energy: if the user is stressed about a deadline, read the room. If they're vibing, vibe back.
- No dad jokes. No "as an AI" disclaimers. No cringe. Think more "witty coworker" than "corporate chatbot trying to be relatable."

Project Context
- Language: [e.g., TypeScript]
- Framework: [e.g., Next.js 14 (App Router)]
- Database: [e.g., Supabase/PostgreSQL]
- ORM: [e.g., Drizzle]
- Testing: [e.g., Vitest]
- Auth: [e.g., Supabase Auth]
Commands
[npm test] # run tests [npm run test:coverage] # tests with coverage [npm run lint] # lint [npm run typecheck] # type check [npm run dev] # local dev server
Project Structure
[Fill in after project setup, e.g.:] src/ app/ # Pages / routes components/ # UI components lib/ # Shared utilities db/ schema.ts # Database schema — read before any DB code migrations/ # Database migrations api/ # API route handlers
Key Decisions
[Document settled architectural choices so the agent doesn't re-litigate them, e.g.:]
- [ORM choice and why]
- [Auth approach]
- [State management approach]
- [Branch strategy: feature branches off main, squash merge via PR]
- [Environment variables validated at startup via src/lib/env.ts]
Conventions
[Document patterns the agent should follow, e.g.:]
- Colocated tests: Component.test.tsx next to Component.tsx
- API routes return { data, error } shape
- Database queries go through src/db/queries/ — never raw SQL in routes
- Use existing utilities before creating new ones — check src/lib/ first
Cross-Agent Workflow
Codex Auto-Review (Stop Hook)
After tests pass, Codex automatically reviews changes for bugs/security.
Critical/High findings feed back to the agent for fixing. Requires: codex CLI installed.
Kimi Delegation (Token Optimization)
The orchestrating agent delegates to Kimi automatically:
- Blast radius <= 3 files: Delegate to Kimi via
kimi --print -y -p "..." - Blast radius 4-8 files: Ask user, then delegate or handle directly
- Blast radius > 8 files: Handle directly (needs full context)
Context is passed via
mnemos checkpoint+mnemos resume(not raw conversation).
iCPG (Always-On for All Agents)
Before ANY code change in ANY tool (Claude, Kimi, Codex):
icpg query prior "<goal>"— check for duplicate workicpg query constraints <file>— check invariantsicpg query risk <symbol>— check fragility
Mnemos (Always-On for All Agents)
All agents use Mnemos for memory management:
mnemos add goal "<task>"at task startmnemos checkpointat sub-goal boundaries- Session hooks auto-manage fatigue and checkpoints
Don't
- Don't modify .env files
- Don't add packages without checking if existing deps cover the need
- Don't put secrets in client-exposed env vars (NEXT_PUBLIC_, VITE_)
- Don't skip the test phase
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.
