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
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 14
Treat this subtree as governed system-skill bridge content, not ordinary first-party skill source.
- Distinctive: line 18
Do not silently fork bundled or system skills.
- Distinctive: line 20
Keep creator and installer flow references under the system-skill bridge instead of duplicating long procedures into this AGENTS file.
≈ “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-system Agent Guide
Scope
- Applies to
skills-system/**. - Inherits the repository root AGENTS.md.
Edit Policy
- Treat this subtree as governed system-skill bridge content, not ordinary first-party skill source.
- Preserve upstream lock and bridge contracts. Refresh system skills only through the lock/projection workflow or an explicitly documented migration.
- Do not silently fork bundled or system skills. If a local patch is necessary, record the reason, upstream source, expected refresh path, and validation.
- Keep creator and installer flow references under the system-skill bridge instead of duplicating long procedures into this AGENTS file.
Context Pointers
- System lock:
Infrastructure/GOVERNANCE/skills-system-upstream.lock.json. - Repo surface ownership: ../Docs/agents/15-repo-surface-ownership.md.
- Path ownership: ../Docs/agents/14-path-ownership-boundaries.md.
Validation
- For system-skill refreshes, run the projection-integrity or upstream-lock validator that owns the changed files.
- For manual edits, report why the normal refresh path was not used and what downstream runtime surface was or was not proven.
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.
