- Reads credentials
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 31,774 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 repository6 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.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 13
Run example flow: make run-example (initializes .evalview/ then runs sample case if present).
- Distinctive: line 19
Keep public CLI/API stable.
- Very specific: line 24
Run locally with pytest or evalview run --pattern "<case>.yaml" --verbose.
≈ “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.

Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Module Organization
evalview/: Python package and CLI (cli.py). Modules:adapters/(framework integrations),core/(types, loader, pricing),evaluators/(cost, latency, output, sequence),reporters/(console, JSON).tests/: Pytest assets and YAML scenarios undertests/test-cases/*.yaml.docs/: Reference docs (adapters, database, backend setup).examples/: Example YAML and backend notes.- Root tooling:
Makefile,pyproject.toml,uv.lock, optional Node workspace (package.json).
Build, Test, and Development Commands
- Install:
make install(editable) ormake dev-install(adds dev deps). - Quality:
make format(black),make lint(ruff),make typecheck(mypy),make check(all). - Tests:
make test(pytest -v) ormake test-cov(coverage HTML + terminal). - Run example flow:
make run-example(initializes.evalview/then runs sample case if present). - CLI test runner:
evalview run [--pattern "*.yaml"] [--verbose].
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Python 3.9+. Formatting via black (line length 100); lint with ruff; strict typing with mypy.
- Indentation: 4 spaces. Naming: modules/files
snake_case.py, classesPascalCase, functions/varssnake_case. - Keep public CLI/API stable; extend via new adapters/evaluators under existing folders.
Testing Guidelines
- Framework:
pytest. Place Python tests undertests/. Name filestest_*.py. - Scenario tests: add YAML cases to
tests/test-cases/(see existing examples). Prefer preciseexpected.output.containsand realistic thresholds (max_cost,max_latency). - Run locally with
pytestorevalview run --pattern "<case>.yaml" --verbose.
Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
- Commits: imperative, concise, and scoped (e.g., "Add LangGraph adapter config"). Group related changes; include rationale when behavior changes.
- PRs: clear description, linked issues, reproduction/testing steps, CLI output or screenshots when useful. Update docs/tests as needed.
- Checks: ensure
make checkandmake testpass; avoid committing secrets or.env.local.
Security & Configuration Tips
- Secrets: store in
.env.local(gitignored). Common:OPENAI_API_KEY, service endpoints. - Local config:
.evalview/config.yamlcontrols defaults for runs. Avoid hard‑coding credentials in tests or examples.

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.
