How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
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 31,774 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 repository62 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 38 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Distinctive: line 13
Never commit secrets, tokens, or credential material into repo-tracked files.
- Very specific: line 14
Keep .metagit.yml / config model compatibility intact.
- Distinctive: line 15
Keep mutating repo operations explicitly guarded (especially MCP sync modes).
- Very specific: line 16
Put business logic in src/metagit/core/*.
- Distinctive: line 17
Run lint + relevant tests before claiming a change is complete.
- Very specific: line 18
Default commit messages to patch semantics (fix:).
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 38 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Metagit CLI
What This Is
Metagit CLI manages and validates repository/workspace metadata (.metagit.yml) and exposes that context to humans and agents, including via MCP runtime tooling.
Non-Negotiables
- Never commit secrets, tokens, or credential material into repo-tracked files.
- Keep
.metagit.yml/ config model compatibility intact; do not bypass validation paths. - Keep mutating repo operations explicitly guarded (especially MCP sync modes).
- Put business logic in
src/metagit/core/*; keep CLI command handlers thin. - Run lint + relevant tests before claiming a change is complete.
- Default commit messages to patch semantics (
fix:). Usefeat:only for additive backward-compatible changes, and use major/breaking prefixes only when schema/config compatibility is intentionally broken.
Commands
- Setup:
./configure.sh && task install - Lint:
task lint - Format:
task format - Tests:
task test - Build:
task build - MCP runtime:
uv run metagit mcp serve --status-once
Scaffold Growth
After every task: if no pattern exists for the task type you just completed, create one. If a pattern or context file is now out of date, update it. The scaffold grows from real work, not just setup. See the GROW step in ROUTER.md for details.
Navigation
At the start of every session, read ROUTER.md before doing anything else.
For full project context, patterns, and task guidance — everything is there.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
