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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is 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.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 9
When adding a skill, also add it to .claude-plugin/plugin.json and the reference table in README.md.
- Distinctive: line 11
Keep skills focused on a single concern.
≈ “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.

- Skills live in
skills/<category>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. - Each
SKILL.mdhas YAML frontmatter withnameanddescription, followed by the skill body in markdown. - When adding a skill, also add it to
.claude-plugin/plugin.jsonand the reference table inREADME.md. - Rules live in
rules/as.mdcfiles with YAML frontmatter (description,globs,alwaysApply). - Keep skills focused on a single concern. Prefer short, composable skills over large monolithic ones.
