AGENTS.md7 starsChanged 14 days agoMITView on GitHub
This repository distributes reusable agent skills for Codex, Claude Code, and other clients that load SKILL.md directories. It contains no product source code; its scripts are helpers bundled with the skills, plus the installers and repository checks. Commits and pushes follow skills/rumo-git-commit/SKILL.md and repository-local instructions.
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 1 is common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈1
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
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 5
Keep every skill independent of a specific company, product, repository name, internal host, deployment path, or agent client.
- Very specific: line 6
Put private project facts in a local profile or optional private profiles checkout and access them through rumo-project-profile.
- Common: line 10
Never commit or print passwords, tokens, private keys, or private certificate material.
- Distinctive: line 12
Write every skill in your own words.
- Very specific: line 19
Follow the skill structure in CONTRIBUTING.md and skills/rumo-prose/references/agent-docs.md.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 36,368 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.

Repository Guidance
This repository distributes reusable agent skills for Codex, Claude Code, and other clients that load SKILL.md directories. It contains no product source code; its scripts are helpers bundled with the skills, plus the installers and repository checks.
- Keep every skill independent of a specific company, product, repository name, internal host, deployment path, or agent client. When a step depends on one client, label it as client-specific and give a client-neutral alternative or an explicit stop condition.
- Put private project facts in a local profile or optional private profiles checkout and access them through
rumo-project-profile. - Resolve bundled scripts relative to the installed skill directory.
- Preserve unrelated working-tree changes and installed skills from other sources.
- Validate frontmatter, metadata, relative links, helper scripts, installers, and the catalog before push. Before pushing a change that adds, removes, merges, or renames a skill, or alters a description, run the acceptance in
CONTRIBUTING.md. - Never commit or print passwords, tokens, private keys, or private certificate material.
- State explicit stop conditions for ambiguous or state-changing workflows.
- Write every skill in your own words. Do not copy text from other projects, and do not add attribution notes or separate license files inside skill directories.
Commits and pushes follow skills/rumo-git-commit/SKILL.md and repository-local instructions.
Layout
skills/holds the default skills that the installers always link;extras/holds optional skills installed with-Extrasor--extras. A default skill must not link to an extra.- Follow the skill structure in
CONTRIBUTING.mdandskills/rumo-prose/references/agent-docs.md.
Skill Language Policy
- In
skills/*/SKILL.mdandextras/*/SKILL.md, write frontmatterdescriptionand the Markdown body in English. Clients select skills from frontmatternameanddescriptiononly, so keep both self-sufficient. agents/openai.yamlin each skill is optional Codex UI metadata; other clients ignore it. Keepinterface.display_namein English only. Keepinterface.short_descriptionin Chinese so the skill list can show an English name with a Chinese explanation. Prefer English forinterface.default_prompt.- Preserve Chinese only when it is required as literal product data, such as UI text, branch/product labels, user trigger phrases, commit-message requirements, or examples that must intentionally produce Simplified Chinese output.
- Reference files under each skill's
references/may keep Chinese source material, scanned product text, and UI/business examples when translating them would reduce their value as product evidence.
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 28,693 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.

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.
