There is no separate linter yet — npm run ci is validate + test + doctor + render drift check.
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 31,700 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, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 17
Never commit secrets. share_safe: true is mandatory.
- Distinctive: line 18
Do not push generated PROFILE drift.
≈ “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.

Test commands
npm test
npm run lint
npm run ciThere is no separate linter yet — npm run ci is validate + test + doctor + render drift check.
Loop conventions
- Report-only week one (L1) before enabling auto-fix (L2) — same as loop-engineering.
- Templates: edit
template.yamlonly, thennpm run render. - Never commit secrets.
share_safe: trueis mandatory. - Do not push generated PROFILE drift; CI fails if markdown is dirty.

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.
