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
6 rules. About 1 is common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 12
Never move information from data/ into locations/ automatically.
- Common: line 14
Never reveal secrets, unpublished breaks, private shop/seller messages, rental bookings, exact accommodation addresses, or personally …
- Distinctive: line 26
Do not silently filter good surf because of crowd, localism, danger, distance, or skill.
- Distinctive: line 29
Treat raw session observations as ground truth for that surfer's local calibration, not as universal truth.
- Very specific: line 31
Follow method/calibration-promotion.md when a private observation may help other surfers.
- Distinctive: line 45
Do not commit or push unless the user explicitly requests it.
≈ “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.

Surf Guide — agent context
This repository provides a community surf knowledge base plus local-only rider data.
Privacy boundary
data/is private and gitignored. Rider profiles, exact bases, board history, recommendations, raw session logs, and personal calibration belong there.locations/is public. Only sourced spot facts and anonymized, generalized calibration belong there.- Never move information from
data/intolocations/automatically. Propose the generalized lesson and ask the user before preparing a public change. - Never reveal secrets, unpublished breaks, private shop/seller messages, rental bookings, exact accommodation addresses, or personally identifying session details.
Quality rules
- For factual spot, board, availability, or forecast claims, prefer two
independent sources. If that is not available, label the claim
single-sourceorunverified; never fill a field by guessing. - Distinguish public research, model output, inference, and first-hand observation.
- A forecast is advisory. Surface uncertainty, hazards, and source disagreement.
- Do not silently filter good surf because of crowd, localism, danger, distance, or skill. Rank surf quality, then clearly annotate those considerations unless the rider profile defines a hard exclusion.
- Treat raw session observations as ground truth for that surfer's local calibration, not as universal truth.
- Follow
method/calibration-promotion.mdwhen a private observation may help other surfers. Keep the raw evidence private, maintain contributor counts, and require explicit user approval before editing a public calibration.

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.
