AGENTS.md4 starsChanged 49 days agoMITView on GitHub
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 31,439 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 repository48 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, 0 are distinctive, and 3 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.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 12
Keep the projection deterministic and network-silent.
- Very specific: line 13
Treat reading.status: published as the sole publication opt-in.
- Very specific: line 16
Run bun test ./.agents/skills/percolate-reading/scripts and bun run reading:check after changing this workflow.
≈ “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.

Guidelines
- Keep the projection deterministic and network-silent. The website must import only the generated module and must never read
kb/at runtime. - Treat
reading.status: publishedas the sole publication opt-in. Draft notes and unreviewed captures remain private. - Reject unsupported metadata, unverified quotations, duplicate provenance, tracking URLs, private vault links, and capture state that is unsafe to publish.
- Preserve both supported forms: concise public-article digests and complete reviewed notes with explicit republication basis.
- Run
bun test ./.agents/skills/percolate-reading/scriptsandbun run reading:checkafter changing this workflow.
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.
