This is an independently versioned companion app. Keep its user-visible changes in CHANGELOG.md, its version in VERSION, and Noodle-side integration changes in the repository changelog. Do not publish a release without an explicit request. Use public WebKit APIs. Browser UUIDs identify persistent website data stores; never replace an existing UUID when reopening a profile. Save tab and download metadata separately. History and bookmarks use the per-profile records database; keep queries paginated and resolve bookmark IDs only within the selected profile.…
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 repository18 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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
- Distinctive: line 7
Use public WebKit APIs. Browser UUIDs identify persistent website data stores.
- Very specific: line 15
Keep assignment authorization in Noodle.
- Very specific: line 22
Run the unit tests and signed fake-site fixture for changes to WebKit operations, persistence or transfers.
≈ “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.

Noodle Browser
This is an independently versioned companion app. Keep its user-visible changes
in CHANGELOG.md, its version in VERSION, and Noodle-side integration changes
in the repository changelog. Do not publish a release without an explicit request.
Use public WebKit APIs. Browser UUIDs identify persistent website data stores; never replace an existing UUID when reopening a profile. Save tab and download metadata separately. History and bookmarks use the per-profile records database; keep queries paginated and resolve bookmark IDs only within the selected profile. Background automation must not activate windows or post input to the system event stream. New/restored tabs and popups inherit the profile's mute setting before navigation.
Keep assignment authorization in Noodle. Only the signed Noodle broker or its
bundled Browser tool extension may use the companion socket and choose shared
transfer IDs; the extension only forwards calls the broker already authorized. Agent file paths must pass
through the workspace file-transfer boundary, not the browser's filesystem.
Protocol changes need coordinated broker/CLI handling and generated guidance in
Sources/NoodleCore/MessengerDocumentation.swift.
Run the unit tests and signed fake-site fixture for changes to WebKit operations,
persistence or transfers. Fixtures use separate UUIDs and .accessory activation;
never test against the user's ordinary browser profiles or credentials. Verify
actual entitlements with scripts/verify-browser-release.sh.
The Xcode project is generated by Tuist from Project.swift; change that, never the
generated project.
README.md is for people using Browser; do not document code in it. Follow the
no-code-docs skill.
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.
