Version: v1.3.0 | Status: Active | Last Updated: March 2026 Agent coordination document for the docs/ directory. Guides AI agents navigating the documentation surface of the Codomyrmex ecosystem. The docs/ directory is organized into 21 thematic sections containing 1,218 Markdown files (reference/inventory.md): Volatile counts (modules, MCP tools, tests) live in reference/inventory.md; refresh with uv run python scripts/doc_inventory.py.
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
5 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
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
- Distinctive: line 31
Follow development/documentation.md for curated markers, bootstrap scope, and validator expectations after substantive edits.
- Distinctive: line 32
Prefer targeted hand edits over full-repo bootstrap.
- Distinctive: line 80
Navigation consistency: Every document must have Navigation section with links to parent, siblings, and root
- Very specific: line 81
Version stamping: All top-level docs must have version/status/date header
- Distinctive: line 82
Real content only: No placeholder or auto-generated boilerplate — every file must contain substantive documentation
≈ “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.
Files
Codomyrmex Agents — docs/
Version: v1.3.0 | Status: Active | Last Updated: March 2026
Purpose
Agent coordination document for the docs/ directory. Guides AI agents navigating the documentation surface of the Codomyrmex ecosystem.
Key Files
| Path | Role |
| reference/inventory.md | Canonical counts (modules, tests, MCP decorators, workflows) |
| development/documentation.md | Authoring policy, Mermaid, bootstrap vs hand-edit |
| modules/AGENTS.md | Module doc ownership (enrich_module_docs vs src/) |
| agents/AGENTS.md | Agent documentation tree root |
| index.md | Published docs entry |
Dependencies
- Source of truth:
src/codomyrmex/and rootSPEC.md/AGENTS.md; this tree explains and links, it does not replace code. - Authoritative numbers: volatile counts (tests, MCP tools, gate weights) live in
docs/manuscript/config.yamlanddocs/reference/inventory.md— never hard-code them in prose.- Gate weights:
docs/manuscript/config.yaml→experiment.gate_score_weights(budget: 0.30 / risk: 0.30 / trust: 0.25 / completeness: 0.15) - Colony kernel subsystems: 8 — PheromoneStore, ResourceLedger, ActuationGate, ConsequenceMemory, RoleAdapter, PruningDaemon, FalsificationWorker, ColonyKernel (coordinator); sources: standalone modules under
src/codomyrmex/colony_kernel/pluskernel.py - MCP tools: 8 exposed by the colony control plane; source:
src/codomyrmex/colony_kernel/mcp_tools.py - Attack vectors:
CIRCULAR_ARCHITECTURE(notCIRCULAR_DEPS) — seesrc/codomyrmex/colony_kernel/falsification/worker.py
- Gate weights:
- Tooling:
uvfor scripts (scripts/doc_inventory.py,scripts/documentation/validate_agents_structure.py); optional site build perpyproject.toml/ Docusaurus undersrc/codomyrmex/documentation/when publishing.
Development Guidelines
- Follow development/documentation.md for curated markers, bootstrap scope, and validator expectations after substantive edits.
- Prefer targeted hand edits over full-repo bootstrap; keep Operating Contracts below for navigation and mirror rules.
- Refresh volatile numbers via
uv run python scripts/doc_inventory.py --pytestbefore updating reference/inventory.md or rootREADME.md.
Documentation Architecture
The docs/ directory is organized into 21 thematic sections containing 1,218 Markdown files (reference/inventory.md):
Core references (top level)
| File | Purpose |
ARCHITECTURE.md | System architecture, layers, module graph |
DEPENDENCIES.md | Dependency compatibility guide |
PAI.md | Personal AI Infrastructure hub |
PAI_DASHBOARD.md | Dashboard functionality matrix |
SPEC.md | Documentation-area functional specification (root SPEC.md is authoritative for the whole repo) |
index.md | Documentation site entry point |
Volatile counts (modules, MCP tools, tests) live in reference/inventory.md; refresh with uv run python scripts/doc_inventory.py.

Operating Contracts
- Docs mirror src/: The
docs/agents/structure mirrorssrc/codomyrmex/agents/with a documentation subfolder for each agent framework - Navigation consistency: Every document must have Navigation section with links to parent, siblings, and root
- Version stamping: All top-level docs must have version/status/date header
- Real content only: No placeholder or auto-generated boilerplate — every file must contain substantive documentation
Key Patterns
- Signposting: Parent/child/sibling links in every document
- Cross-references: Source docs link to doc docs and vice versa via relative paths
- Hierarchical AGENTS.md: Root →
docs/AGENTS.md→docs/agents/AGENTS.md→ per-agentAGENTS.md - Mermaid: development/documentation.md — theme-neutral diagrams, subgraph conventions, normalizer scripts under
scripts/
Navigation
- Parent: AGENTS.md — Root agent coordination
- Project Root: README.md — Project overview
- Source: src/codomyrmex/ — Source code
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
