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 repository38 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
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
- Very specific: line 20
Keep paired English and Chinese documentation and their language links in sync.
- Very specific: line 21
Keep credentials, private addresses, user data, logs, screenshots, build outputs and dependency caches out of commits.
≈ “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.

Changes and checks
- Preserve existing user changes and data. Add Alembic migrations for database schema changes.
- Run checks for the component you change. In
client/, runnpm test. Inhub-frontend/, runnpm run buildandnode --test tests/*.test.mjs. For backend checks, inspectpython3 quality_gate.py --helpinhub-backend/. For launcher changes, runpython3 -m unittest tools.dev.test_start_localat the root. On Windows, usepyfor standalone Python commands, orpythoninside the activated environment. - At the root, run
node tools/check-public-source.cjs,node tools/check-third-party.cjs,node tools/check-docs.cjsandpython3 tools/security/scan_secrets.py --download. - Review and stage added public files. Git tracks the development inventory; do not generate or commit
SOURCE-MANIFEST.json. The source exporter generates it inside each archive from the committed files. - Keep paired English and Chinese documentation and their language links in sync. Directory entry points are English
README.mdand ChineseREADME.zh-CN.md. - Keep credentials, private addresses, user data, logs, screenshots, build outputs and dependency caches out of commits. Public source inclusion is governed by PUBLIC-SOURCE.json.
- Sign off commits under the DCO with
git commit -s. In pull requests, describe the behavior change, checks actually run, platforms tested and remaining gaps.
See the developer guide, CI guide, release scope and security policy for details.

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.
