Rules for any coding agent, or person, working in this repository.
- 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 31,700 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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

Never use the Fable model without the owner's explicit approval for that use.

Before pushing, run relayrace ci-local (or node --test).
≈ “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.

Rules for any coding agent, or person, working in this repository.
- Node built-ins only (no dependencies). Tests use
node --test; the suite must pass on Windows, macOS and Linux (CI runs all three). Every change ships with its tests. - Code, comments, docs and commits in English.
- Never read, print or store secrets:
.env,.dev.vars, keys, tokens. - Never write permission allow-rules for any tool. Print them for the owner to apply.
initnever overwrites existing files.synconly replaces files it generated; never run it without--checkunless the owner asked.- No machine paths in code: everything optional comes from
lib/config.mjs(config file, thenRELAYRACE_*variables, with the oldRELAYKIT_*andAI_KIT_*still read). - Files that
initcopies into other repos (agents/,skills/,templates/,prompts/,qwen.mjs) get no license header; the notice isLICENSE-TEMPLATES.qwen.mjsis installed with onlylib/exe.mjsandlib/guardrails.mjsbeside it (asscripts/lib/), so it may import nothing else fromlib/. - One branch per change; never commit straight to
main; sign commits off withgit commit -s(DCO). No merge without the maintainer's OK. - Never use the Fable model without the owner's explicit approval for that use.
- Before pushing, run
relayrace ci-local(ornode --test);relayrace ci-local --install-hookdoes it on every push.
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.
