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 31,774 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 repository93 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are 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.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Treat uppercase Plugins/ as canonical plugin-owned source unless a nested guide or manifest explicitly marks a path as generated output.
- Very specific: line 16
Keep plugin behavior in canonical plugin source, bundled hooks, and related Infrastructure/ contracts.
- Very specific: line 21
Use plugin install, status, and sync commands from the root ./bin/ask surface when changing runtime readiness.
- Very specific: line 37
Only command hooks are currently executable in the plugin runtime.
- Distinctive: line 43
Before editing, prove whether the target is canonical source, generated tracked output, runtime cache, or local state.
≈ “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.

Plugins Agent Guide
Scope
- Applies to uppercase
Plugins/**. - Inherits the repository root AGENTS.md.
Edit Policy
- Treat uppercase
Plugins/**as canonical plugin-owned source unless a nested guide or manifest explicitly marks a path as generated output. - Keep plugin behavior in canonical plugin source, bundled hooks, and related
Infrastructure/**contracts. Do not move product behavior into lowercase runtime/cache mirrors. - On case-insensitive filesystems, be careful with
pluginsandPluginspath collisions. Verify the real path before moving, deleting, or syncing. - Use plugin install, status, and sync commands from the root
./bin/asksurface when changing runtime readiness.
Context Pointers
- Plugin readiness rules: ../Docs/agents/17-skill-management.md#plugin-desktop-readiness.
- Skill Factory lifecycle and routing: ../Plugins/skill-factory/README.md.
- Path ownership: ../Docs/agents/14-path-ownership-boundaries.md.
- Repository vocabulary: ../UBIQUITOUS_LANGUAGE.md.
For plugin creation, hardening, or hook changes, apply the
plugin-factory:plugin-builder contract and run its plugin_builder.pyw
validate gate before handoff. Bundled hooks belong at hooks/hooks.json and
are declared from plugin.json as ./hooks/hooks.json; use a top-level
hooks object with matcher-level hooks arrays, command-hook timeout in
seconds, and ${PLUGIN_ROOT} or ${PLUGIN_DATA} for plugin-owned commands.
Only command hooks are currently executable in the plugin runtime; prompt,
agent, and async hook forms are parsed but not runtime-supported. Enable
plugin_hooks alongside plugins and hooks before relying on bundled hooks.
Validation
- Before editing, prove whether the target is canonical source, generated tracked output, runtime cache, or local state.
- For plugin readiness claims, use the repository plugin status contract rather than filesystem presence alone.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
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.
