Provider-agnostic creator skills: one skill per creator job, any backend the user has. Never edit synced copies in skills/*/scripts/ or skills/*/references/ when the file exists in shared/; edit shared/ and run scripts/sync-shared.sh. Skill-specific references (e.g. creator-product-photo/references/modes.md) live only in their skill. 1. Detect, don't assume. No skill hard-codes a provider; all generation goes through creator.py, which honors user config, then profile defaults. 2. Scriptable before manual. API/CLI providers before computer-use ones. 3.

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 repository10 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “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.

Principles
- Detect, don't assume. No skill hard-codes a provider; all generation goes through
creator.py, which honors user config, then profile defaults. - Scriptable before manual. API/CLI providers before computer-use ones.
- Fallback never bypasses safety. A
policyrefusal stops the chain. - Verify on disk. A provider's success message is not proof; the file is.
- The host agent orchestrates. agy/codex are invoked as providers only through
creator.py; the host writes prompts and reviews output. - Stdlib only. Scripts must run on a bare Python 3.9+ with ffmpeg.

Adding a provider
PROVIDERSentry (per-task capabilities) anddetect_onebranch inshared/scripts/creator.py.- Adapter functions raising
ProviderError(kind, msg); register inADAPTERS. - Add to
DEFAULT_ORDER(both profiles) andDEFAULT_MODELS. - Document in
shared/references/providers.md; browser providers getbrowser-<id>.md. scripts/sync-shared.sh && python3 scripts/validate.py.
Adding a skill
Create skills/creator-<job>/SKILL.md, run sync + validate, add it to README and

Versions
VERSION is the source of truth; every metadata.version must match. Bump all together.

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.
