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 31,439 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 repository8 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, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

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

- Very specific: line 47
Few model runs, never in bulk: No loops of model evaluations to tune a rule: read transcripts deterministically.
- Very specific: line 53
Nothing leaves the machine: No telemetry, no network call except Claude Code's docs for the audit (a day's cache).
≈ “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.

A Claude Code plugin from Localix Lab: it shows what a person's Claude Code use overpays, fixes it
with a diff they approve, and puts any change back. Everything runs on their machine; the plugin
sends nothing anywhere. GitHub localixai/tokendoctor, site https://tokendoctor.dev.
Layout
| Path | What it is |
.claude-plugin/ | plugin.json (the plugin), marketplace.json (this repo is its own marketplace), the icon |
skills/ | The slash commands: sessions, optimize, audit, apply, dashboard |
bin/ | tokendoctor-* commands the skills and hooks call; each is a thin entry into lib/ |
lib/ | Everything that counts and decides: transcripts, replay, rules, the audit's docs, apply, undo |
hooks/ | The hooks module (register.ts) and the slide (window.ts) |
templates/ | The dashboard page, the status line, agent files the advice can write |
test/ | Node tests for lib/ and bin/ (npm test) |
tests/ | The hooks module's tests (npm run test:mod, through claude plugin test) |
bench/ | The benchmark: real Claude Code on fixed tasks, scored by acceptance tests |
site/ | tokendoctor.dev |
llx/ | Not this repository: an ignored clone of another one, kept beside the work |
Commands
| Command | |
npm test | lib/ and bin/. Run it before every push; CI runs it on Node 20 and 22. |
npm run test:mod | The hooks module, on a copy of the plugin without bench/tasks. Needs claude. |
npm run docs:check | Every settings key and variable tokendoctor names, against Claude Code's current docs. Network. |
npm run validate | claude plugin validate . --strict: the manifests, and the hooks module and tests/ type-checked against the running Claude Code's types. Passes; keep it so (import a plugin file without its .ts suffix, and build the engine's values in full, as tests/register.test.ts's helpers do). |
claude --plugin-dir . | Try the working tree in a real session without installing it. |
The site has its own commands in site/ (npm run check before a push that touches it).
Rules
- Numbers come from measurement. Every figure on the README and the site is from a real run
(
bench/, ortokendoctor-replayover real sessions), and the README's table says which. Change a number only with the run that supports it. The headline is "up to 38% less"; the same words are inpackage.json,.claude-plugin/plugin.json,marketplace.json, the README and the site. - Every benchmark run is recorded, stopped and failed ones too: keep
bench/results/<run>/run.json(with a note on what was stopped and why), then regeneratebench/HISTORY.md(bun bench/run.ts --history). Never delete a result folder. - The baselines are fixed. Claude Code without tokendoctor is measured once, in
bench/baselines.json.run.tsruns only tokendoctor's arm by default; run--arm factoryor--arm advisedagain only when Claude Code or the model changes, and only when asked. - Few model runs, never in bulk. No loops of model evaluations to tune a rule: read transcripts
deterministically. At most 3
claude -pat once, with--strict-mcp-config --no-session-persistence(ten at once froze a 24 GB laptop). Ask before a run that starts Claude processes. - The demo is a real recording of a real session with real data, made with asciinema
(
site/scripts/RECORDING.md). Never stage one. Check the cast for private data before it ships. - Nothing leaves the machine. No telemetry, no network call except Claude Code's docs for the
audit (a day's cache). A transcript's paths and account details stay out of the repo
(
bench/results/*/*/is ignored for that reason). - Every change can be put back. Whatever
applywrites,undolists and restores; a new kind of change ships with its undo and a test of both. - Claude Code's names are checked, not remembered. A settings key or variable the audit names
goes through
npm run docs:checkbefore release.

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.
