1. Very specific:

   When asked to use or explain the cmux CLI, read the cmux-cli skill first.

   line 3
2. Distinctive:

   Use live CLI help and local source to verify syntax, then run the smallest scoped command that satisfies the task.

   line 7
3. Very specific:

   Check cmux --help or cmux <command> --help before presenting exact syntax.

   line 11
4. Very specific:

   Use --json for automation.

   line 13
5. Distinctive:

   Avoid focus-changing commands unless explicitly requested.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 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.

• 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 28,693 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.
