This repository contains Book Genesis, a set of Agent Skills for writing complete books inside an agent host. When writing from this recovery checkout, read skills/book-genesis/SKILL.md directly and resolve references/... paths from skills/book-genesis/. A global installed skill may be a different release; do not silently use it to validate this build. For a project-local installation, run the installer's verify-install against this checkout before starting and record the installed version and file hashes in the run report.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
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 31,542 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
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 9
Start with skills/book-genesis/references/pipeline/host-contract.md, then references/prompts/orchestrator.md.
- Very specific: line 10
Write the book in a folder outside this repository, or under books/, which git ignores.
- Distinctive: line 11
Never skip Phase 4, and never score before it.
- Distinctive: line 13
Write the book and every message to the author in the book's language.
- Very specific: line 19
Before committing, run python runner/installer.py verify-suite and python -m unittest discover -s tests -v.
≈ “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.

Writing a book from this checkout
When writing from this recovery checkout, read skills/book-genesis/SKILL.md directly and resolve references/... paths from skills/book-genesis/. A global installed skill may be a different release; do not silently use it to validate this build. For a project-local installation, run the installer's verify-install against this checkout before starting and record the installed version and file hashes in the run report.
- Start with
skills/book-genesis/references/pipeline/host-contract.md, thenreferences/prompts/orchestrator.md. - Write the book in a folder outside this repository, or under
books/, which git ignores. - Never skip Phase 4, and never score before it.
- Critics never see targets or earlier scores; the writer never sees the rubric.
- Write the book and every message to the author in the book's language.

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.
