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.
The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
No tool lock-in: Never name, require or special-case a specific user tool (a code index, MCP server, skill, CLI or model).
- Distinctive: line 18
Repository-agnostic: No repository-, client- or person-specific names, paths or rules.
≈ “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.

Working on cpipe
cpipe is a general-purpose Hermes plugin made of skills. Other people run it with their own profiles, tools, models and repositories.
- Skills drive the flow. The model runs every step from
skills/run: the flow inSKILL.md, each step insteps/.__init__.pyonly registers that one skill, the/cpipecommand, the mid-run reminder and the run's rules pinned in the system prompt (it renders text and decides nothing).bin/cpipe.pyonly reads files and prints facts and verdicts. Do not add code that decides the next step, calls a model, or stops a run; change the skill text instead. - Keep going. A skill change must never add a new reason to stop or a message that asks the user to fix or
run something. A run never waits for the user (Unattended in
skills/run/SKILL.md), except on a spec question once nothing else is left (skills/run/spec.md). - No tool lock-in. Never name, require or special-case a specific user tool (a code index, MCP server, skill, CLI or model). Describe the capability instead and let each user's setup decide.
- Respect the user's Hermes setup. cpipe never changes Hermes profiles, config, toolsets, skills or plugins, and never modifies Hermes itself.
- Repository-agnostic. No repository-, client- or person-specific names, paths or rules.
- Skill format. Description of at most 60 characters ending in a period; each skill short; long material in a
file next to it, loaded with
skill_view(name=..., file_path=...). - Neutral docs. README.md describes the product as it is.

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.
