We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Common
Distinctive
Very specific

Very specific:
Run Rust verification from repo root: scripts/fmt.sh --check.
line 10
Distinctive:
Prefer small, reviewable changes and keep generated bootstrap files aligned with actual repo workflows.
line 19
Very specific:
Keep shared defaults in .claude.json.
line 20
Distinctive:
Do not overwrite existing CLAUDE.md content automatically.
line 21

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 25,680 CLAUDE.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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Files

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Detected stack

Languages: Rust.
Frameworks: none detected from the supported starter markers.

Verification

Run Rust verification from repo root: scripts/fmt.sh --check; for formatting use scripts/fmt.sh. Run Rust clippy/tests from rust/: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test --workspace
src/ and tests/ are both present; update both surfaces together when behavior changes.

Repository shape

rust/ contains the Rust workspace and active CLI/runtime implementation.
src/ contains source files that should stay consistent with generated guidance and tests.
tests/ contains validation surfaces that should be reviewed alongside code changes.

Working agreement

Prefer small, reviewable changes and keep generated bootstrap files aligned with actual repo workflows.
Keep shared defaults in .claude.json; reserve .claude/settings.local.json for machine-local overrides.
Do not overwrite existing CLAUDE.md content automatically; update it intentionally when repo workflows change.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

It worked
Partly
It didn't

What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
