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.
In this repository26 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is 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.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 5
Use repository skills from .agents/skills when the request matches their description or when the user invokes a skill with $skill-name.
- Distinctive: line 6
Read only the relevant rule files before implementing or reviewing automation code:
- Distinctive: line 27
Prefer stable semantic locators and smart waits.
- Distinctive: line 28
Keep test data unique, traceable, deterministic when seeded, and free of real personal information.
≈ “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.

Codex workspace guidance
QA automation resources
- Use repository skills from
.agents/skillswhen the request matches theirdescriptionor when the user invokes a skill with$skill-name. - Read only the relevant rule files before implementing or reviewing automation code:
.agents/rules/automation_rules.mdfor shared automation and test-data conventions..agents/rules/api_rules.mdfor API automation and OWASP security rules..agents/rules/locator_strategy.mdfor locator selection..agents/rules/playwright_rules.mdfor Playwright work..agents/rules/selenium_rules.mdfor Selenium work..agents/rules/appium_rules.mdfor Appium work..agents/rules/delivery_checklist.mdbefore completing automation work.
- Invoke workflow skills with
$and kebab-case, for example$generate-locatoror$analyze-flaky-tests.
Legacy tool-name compatibility
- Interpret tool names retained in migrated instructions by intent and use the callable Codex equivalent in the current session.
- Map
view_fileto a read-only filesystem command,write_to_file/replace_file_contenttoapply_patch, andrun_command/command_statusto shell execution and its wait mechanism. - Map
read_url_contentto the available web or in-app browser capability. - Map conceptual
browser_*steps to the installed in-app browser skill and its current callable tools; do not invent unavailable tool calls.
Working expectations
- Communicate and report results in concise, clear Vietnamese.
- Preserve the current local code state. Do not run state-changing Git commands such as
git pull,git checkout,git merge,git rebase, orgit resetunless the user explicitly requests them. Read-only Git inspection is allowed. - Prefer stable semantic locators and smart waits; do not introduce fixed sleeps unless the user explicitly requires them.
- Keep test data unique, traceable, deterministic when seeded, and free of real personal information.
- Validate generated automation with the narrowest relevant test, lint, or compile command available in the target project.

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.
