The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
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” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.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.

Read the engineering principles (in your global instructions; vendored at
docs/engineering-principles.md), then the contract, AGENTS.md,
starting with its "Recurring defect shapes" index and the entries it points at
(docs/defect-shapes.md); the standing invariants live under docs/invariants/.
Claude Code does not load AGENTS.md automatically; this file carries only what
precedes that read.
npm run buildbefore any test run; tests execute the compiled twins (npm run build:disttoo for the census files that readdist/).scripts/hooks/guard-bash.mjs(PreToolUse) denies writinggit stashforms (git stash list/showpass), hook bypasses, and the rest of AGENTS.md "Contributing".

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.
