AGENTS.md4 starsChanged 20 days agoMITView on GitHub
This repository is the public home of the Storm skill collection: agent skills for long optimization campaigns on open benchmarks (ecdsa.fail quantum circuits, the Proximity Prize at better.codes, Kaggle packing contests). Each skill is a folder under skills/ with a SKILL.md; a few single-file skills live directly at skills/*.md.
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.

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
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 15
Keep each frontmatter description accurate — that line is what makes agents load the skill.
- Very specific: line 17
Run scripts/redaction-check.sh before committing.
≈ “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.

Agent instructions for this repository
This repository is the public home of the Storm skill collection: agent skills for long optimization campaigns on open benchmarks (ecdsa.fail quantum circuits, the Proximity Prize at better.codes, Kaggle packing contests). Each skill is a folder under skills/ with a SKILL.md; a few single-file skills live directly at skills/*.md.
Conventions
- Skill format: YAML frontmatter (
name,description,whenToUse) plus a Markdown body. Prefer the directory form (skills/<name>/SKILL.md); supporting files live beside the SKILL.md. - Attribution: when a skill builds on someone's public work, its README table row and
CREDITS.mdentry must name the source and licence. Never remove an attribution line. install.shsymlinks every skill into~/.claude/skills,~/.codex/skills, and~/.agents/skillswhen present. It must stay idempotent and never replace an existing skill.- Skills are prompt configuration that agents execute. Treat pull requests like code: review the instructions a skill adds, not just its prose.
Working rules for agents
- Match the existing style: imperative, compact, no marketing language.
- Keep each frontmatter
descriptionaccurate — that line is what makes agents load the skill. - Benchmark or score claims in any skill or note must name the evaluator and the date.
- Run
scripts/redaction-check.shbefore committing; it must pass. Never commit secrets, session logs, wire files, absolute home paths, or private hostnames.

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.
