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.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 13
When I ask about cloud spend, cloud costs, credits, burn, or runway, run:
- Distinctive: line 21
Always run it fresh — never answer spend questions from memory or from earlier numbers in the conversation.
- Distinctive: line 24
Add at most one line underneath, only if something genuinely warrants it: real cash charged beyond credits, one month far outside the …
- Very specific: line 27
Never invent a "months of runway left" figure unless I explicitly ask.
- Very specific: line 33
Never shell out to aws, az, or gcloud for this — the script uses the SDKs deliberately.
≈ “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.

runway — snippet for any coding agent
Claude Code users don't need this file — install.sh installs the skill
automatically. For any other agent (Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Aider, ...), paste the
block below into your agent's instructions file (AGENTS.md, .cursorrules,
CONVENTIONS.md, whatever your tool reads), replacing the two paths with the ones
install.sh printed.
Cloud spend ("runway")
When I ask about cloud spend, cloud costs, credits, burn, or runway, run:
<REPO_PATH>/.venv/bin/python <REPO_PATH>/runway.pyand show me the table it prints. Rules:
- Always run it fresh — never answer spend questions from memory or from earlier numbers in the conversation; they go stale.
- Show the output and stop. No preamble, no restating figures, no summary.
- Add at most one line underneath, only if something genuinely warrants it: real cash charged beyond credits, one month far outside the baseline (name the service responsible), or a data-quality warning in the output.
- Never invent a "months of runway left" figure unless I explicitly ask; if I do, give a range and state the assumption.

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.
