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.
In this repository47 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Distinctive: line 43
When a persona's fix merges, record it (with its PR number) in that file's retired-topic or disposition list.
≈ “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.

Purpose
Configuration for the Jules agent runtime: one Markdown file per scheduled Jules persona (Bolt, Palette, Sentinel). Each file pairs the persona's mandatory session rules with a dated record of learnings, merged-PR dispositions, and retired topics that later sessions must read before proposing a change.
Key Files
bolt.md— Bolt performance journal: dated learnings (sync/async wrappers, hoisted type maps, O(1) cache eviction), the mandatory dedupe-before-optimizing session rules, and the retired-topic list with the PR numbers that already landed each optimization.palette.md— Palette UI/UX and accessibility spec: owned surfaces (src/codomyrmex/pai_pm/server/spa/,src/codomyrmex/pai_pm/server/routes/), session rules, surface notes, and the disposition of earlier a11y PR floods.sentinel.md— Sentinel security journal: dated vulnerability learnings, session rules, and dispositions for intentional shell executors and already-fixed injection paths that must not be re-proposed.README.md— human signpost for the three persona files.
Dependencies
- Read by the external Jules runtime at session start; no code under
src/imports these files. The in-repo Jules client lives insrc/codomyrmex/agents/jules/. scripts/maintenance/close_duplicate_prs.pytreats every.jules/path as a journal note (JOURNAL_PREFIXES), so a PR that only touches these files never represents a duplicate-PR family..github/workflows/jules-dispatch.ymldispatches Jules tasks from its own prompt templates and does not read these files.- Parent: ../README.md · Root contract: ../AGENTS.md
Development Guidelines
- These files are instructions for an external agent runtime; treat edits as behavior changes and review them like code.
- Add journal entries under a dated
## YYYY-MM-DD - Titleheading and keep earlier entries: the retired-topic and disposition lists are what stop sessions from re-proposing merged work. - When a persona's fix merges, record it (with its PR number) in that file's retired-topic or disposition list.
- The persona rules reject journal-only

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.
