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 31,700 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 repository29 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Keep every file here free of Node, Bun, website build, and filesystem imports.
≈ “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.
Files
Contents
negotiation.ts– Edge-safe Accept parsing and markdown, 406, and 404 negotiation.robots.ts– the canonical paths that stay readable but carrynoindex, follow; the website build imports it for page robots and the sitemap.tsconfig.json– Web Worker lib and no Bun, Node, or website types.../middleware.ts– Vercel Edge entry that imports only this directory.
Guidelines
- Keep every file here free of Node, Bun, website build, and filesystem imports.
- Honor Accept q-values, set
Vary: Accept, and return406only when no owned representation remains. - Unknown document paths stay HTTP 404 and serve the static markdown 404 body.

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.
