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.

≈ “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.

Guide for agents

What this repo contains
Humanizer is an agent skill written in Markdown. SKILL.md is the prompt that agents read. The repo has no build step.
Keep the skill portable. Do not write instructions that limit it to one or two agent tools.
Key files
SKILL.mdis the source of truth and the repo's only skill file. It contains portable YAML metadata, 35 numbered patterns, and their examples.README.mdexplains installation, use, patterns, and version history..claude-plugin/plugin.jsondescribes the Claude plugin and points its skill loader at the rootSKILL.md..claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonlets users add this repo as a Claude marketplace.scripts/validate-package.pychecks package files and shared values.
Rules for changes
Keep SKILL.md and README.md in sync.
- Patterns: The skill has 35 numbered patterns. If you add, remove, or renumber a pattern, update the README table, heading, validator, and every pattern reference.
- Version: Keep the same version in
SKILL.mdundermetadata.version, the first README version entry, and.claude-plugin/plugin.json. Do not add a top-levelversionfield to the skill. - Compatibility: Keep install and use instructions neutral across agents. Names such as Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex are examples, not limits.
- History: Add a short README version note for any behavior change or non-obvious fix.
- Checks: Before publishing, run

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.
