We split this llms.txt into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 3,592 llms.txt 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.

## Documentation
For agent installation, read https://irishopendata.ie/AGENTS.md for the current
client instructions. Preserve all existing servers and settings. Reuse a matching
connection. Verify by calling ireland_catalogue through the installed connection.
Saved configuration alone does not prove that the connection works. If client
policy blocks setup, report the exact step and required user action.
- [Agent installation guide](https://irishopendata.ie/AGENTS.md): client configuration, compact tool workflow and citation guidance.
- [MCP server card](https://irishopendata.ie/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json): machine-readable service metadata.
- [API guide and source catalogue](https://github.com/c-mongan/ireland-mcp/blob/main/README.md): supported sources, operations and self-hosting.

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.
