Goravel (github.com/goravel/framework) is the framework core package, not an application. Application scaffold: goravel/goravel.
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
- Distinctive: line 45
When asked to plan or investigate, produce a plan only — do not implement it until the user explicitly asks you to proceed.
- Very specific: line 49
Use any instead of interface{}.
- Very specific: line 50
Never edit mocks/ directly.
- Distinctive: line 51
Follow standard Go formatting/naming.
- Very specific: line 52
Never create errors inline in logic (fmt.Errorf, errors.New, etc.).
≈ “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.

Project Overview
Goravel (github.com/goravel/framework) is the framework core package, not an application.
Application scaffold: goravel/goravel.
Common Commands
go test # unit tests
cd tests && go test ./... # integration tests
go tool mockery # regenerate mocks
golangci-lint run # lintCore Architecture
- Main pattern:
contracts/-> module implementation ->facades/facades.go. - Each module uses
service_provider.gowith:Register(app)for bindingsBoot(app)for post-registration setupRelationship()for dependency order (ServiceProviderWithRelations)
- IoC container:
foundation/container.go(Bind,Singleton,BindWith,Instance,Make). - Binding registry:
contracts/binding/binding.go.
Key Directories
contracts/: public interfaces.foundation/: app bootstrap, container, provider repository.facades/: static-style service access.mocks/: generatedtestifymocks.support/: shared utilities.testing/: test helpers and framework.tests/: integration test module.packages/: package development support.

Planning Rules
- When asked to plan or investigate, produce a plan only — do not implement it until the user explicitly asks you to proceed.
Code Rules
- Use
anyinstead ofinterface{}. - Never edit
mocks/directly; rungo tool mockeryto regenerate. - Follow standard Go formatting/naming; add comments where logic isn't self-evident. Go version is in go.mod.
- Never create errors inline in logic (
fmt.Errorf,errors.New, etc.). Declare all errors as named variables inerrors/list.gousing the framework'sNew(...)constructor. This centralises error messages to support future i18n.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
