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

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    No TypeScript — plain JavaScript with JSDoc if types need documenting

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 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.

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

rudycanshoot — Agent Instructions

Project Overview

rudycanshoot is an MCP server and CLI tool that enables AI assistants to capture and view screenshots across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

MCP Server

Start with: node bin/rudycanshoot.js serve

Tools exposed:

  • take_screenshot(mode, area?, filename?, outputDir?) → file path
  • read_screenshot(path) → base64 image
  • list_screenshots(limit?) → list of recent captures
  • record_video(durationSec?, fps?, area?, temporary?, returnFrames?, maxFrames?) → video path + frames
  • read_video(path, maxFrames?) → frames as images for AI viewing
  • list_videos(limit?) / cleanup_videos(all?, olderThanMinutes?)

Coding Conventions

  • ES modules (type: "module" in package.json), use import/export
  • Node.js built-in APIs preferred over third-party where possible
  • Platform detection via process.platform (linux, darwin, win32)
  • Screenshot backends tried in order: prefer native/installed tools, fall back gracefully
  • No TypeScript — plain JavaScript with JSDoc if types need documenting

Testing

node bin/rudycanshoot.js capture --mode fullscreen
node bin/rudycanshoot.js list

Adding a New AI Tool Installer

Edit src/install.js, add an entry to TOOL_INSTALLERS:

"my-tool": () => {
  const configPath = join(HOME, ".my-tool", "mcp.json");
  const config = readJson(configPath);
  config.mcpServers = config.mcpServers || {};
  config.mcpServers["rudycanshoot"] = MCP_ENTRY;
  writeJson(configPath, config);
},

  • 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 28,693 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.

  • In this repository2 other files it gives its agents.

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.
