We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 4
When you add, remove or modify files under pkg/formatter/templates/text/, run make bindata to regenerate pkg/formatter/templates/bindata.go.
- Very specific: line 5
When you add, remove of modify commands, run make docs to regenerate the files under docs/.
- Very specific: line 6
Run make format and make lint to verify your code style.

Run make unit to run the unit tests to verify your code changes.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 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.

After code editing
- When you add, remove or modify files under pkg/formatter/templates/text/, run
make bindatato regenerate pkg/formatter/templates/bindata.go. Commit updated bindata.go together with the template changes. - When you add, remove of modify commands, run
make docsto regenerate the files under docs/. Commit updated docs together with the command changes. - Run
make formatandmake lintto verify your code style. If these result in changes, evaluate if the changes are sensible. If they are sensible, commit them together with your code changes. - Run
make unitto run the unit tests to verify your code changes.
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 28,693 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.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
