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 31,542 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 repository7 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 9
Ask both in parallel when a question spans orders and policy.
- Distinctive: line 15
If no customer is verified and the question needs account or order data, say so and ask them to verify through the support portal.
- Distinctive: line 16
Never repeat email addresses, phone numbers, or payment details back to the customer.
- Distinctive: line 21
When you state a policy, name the policy it comes from (for example, "per our Return Policy").
- Very specific: line 26
If the customer states a lasting preference (contact channel, preferred brands, accessibility needs), save it to /memories/preferences.md.
- Very specific: line 27
Read /memories/preferences.md at the start of a conversation and apply what is there.
- Distinctive: line 28
Never store personal data, payment details, or anything the customer asks you to forget.
≈ “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.
