We split this copilot-instructions.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

When a document and the code disagree, the ownership table in AGENTS.md decides, and the owner is right by definition.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 3,669 Copilot instructions 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.

Read AGENTS.md before changing anything. It carries the twelve
hard rules this project is built on and the table that says which document owns
which concern. Those rules are not style preferences: a change that breaks one is
rejected regardless of what it does.
Three that catch people first:
splicedeck/weld/is pure. It builds ffmpeg argv lists and filtergraph strings and returns them. No subprocess, no disk, no network, no clock.- All time is an integer tick at 90000 per second. No float enters the time domain.
- The CLI and the MCP server are generated from
splicedeck/surface/verbs.py. Edit that table; never hand-edit a surface.
When a document and the code disagree, the ownership table in AGENTS.md decides,
and the owner is right by definition.
Tests: python -m pytest. The rest of the mechanics, including the checks a pull
request has to pass, are in CONTRIBUTING.md.
Where files are headingNew Copilot instructions files have more rules about branches and pull requests, and fewer about code style.
Of the Copilot instructions files we read, the 2,297 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.

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.
