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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

orq
This clone is orq's code and, by default, its state (ORQ_HOME), its plan (plan/) and its integration worktrees (.worktrees/), all gitignored. The README is the reference: Install, Projects, Where things live.
First use
Run this when the user asks to set orq up, or when orq is not on PATH in a session opened in this clone. A dispatched worker skips it.
- Check the tools:
orca,git,gh, and a Python 3.12+ (python3 --version; orq also finds Homebrew, mise, uv orpython3.12). Optional:tasks-axi(backlog),lavish-axi(decision pages),engram, Bun (orq manager tui). Done when you have one line per tool: found with its version, or missing. - List what is missing and ask the user before installing any of it. Install only what they approve.
- Run
python3 orq.py installfrom the clone and show its output. Done when a second run prints nolinked:,addedorrepointedline. When it names Codex hooks to trust, tell the user to review them once in/hooks. - Turn this session into the coordinator:
orq start --objective "<what the user is working on>". It needs an Orca terminal; outside one, tell the user to reopen the harness in an Orca terminal inside this clone. - Add the user's projects as they name them:
orq project add <path|url> --dry-run, show theorca.yamland theambientesit proposes, then run it without--dry-runonce the user agrees.
Changing orq
The live clone runs the hooks and the manager panel, so work happens in a worktree of your own (git worktree add -b <type>/<description> .worktrees/<ticket> origin/main) and the live main moves only through scripts/integrar.py. Done when orq test --affected and python3 test_noite_replay.py are green in that worktree; the integrator runs the night replay and the full suite.

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.
