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

Do not redistribute third-party skill source code — link to the origin repo instead
≈ “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.
Files
AGENTS.md — summit-claude-skills
Agent-facing guide for the Summit Claude Skills repo. Human-facing docs live in README.md.
Project overview
A curated directory of third-party Claude skills, MCP servers, and prompt libraries, plus a growing set of Summit-authored custom skills under skills/. The repo is mostly documentation (the README is the primary artifact) with skill definitions as standalone SKILL.md files organized one per directory.
Tech stack
- Markdown (README is the directory; each custom skill is its own
SKILL.md) - Shell scripts in
scripts/(.sh) - Static assets in
assets/ - Install-prompt text in
install-prompts/ALL-PROMPTS.md
Commands
No build or test pipeline. Useful scripts:
scripts/check-broken-links.sh— validate external links in READMEscripts/update-stars.sh— refresh GitHub star counts (if present)scripts/install-local.sh <skill>... | --all— copy skills into~/.claude/skills; re-run after pulling skill changes
Run ad hoc from the repo root.
Structure
README.md— top-level directory; source of truth for the curated list and custom-skills tableCONTRIBUTING.md— submission rules for third-party entriesskills/{skill-name}/SKILL.md— one directory per Summit-authored skillinstall-prompts/ALL-PROMPTS.md— canonical install-prompt block mirrored in READMEtemplates/— reusable starter files (personal CLAUDE.md template, etc.) — not skills; copy-and-fillassets/— logos and static imagesscripts/— maintenance shell scripts
Conventions
- One skill per directory under
skills/. Every skill ships aSKILL.mdwith frontmatter (name,description,when_to_use/ triggers) followed by rules and examples. - Two places to update when adding a Summit skill:
- A new row in the "Summit Custom Skills" table in
README.md - A numbered entry in the install-prompt block (both in
README.mdandinstall-prompts/ALL-PROMPTS.md) Renumber later entries (e.g., MENTOR SKILLS, MENTOR COUNCIL) to keep ordering consistent.
- A new row in the "Summit Custom Skills" table in
- No emojis anywhere — README, SKILL.md, commit messages, or install prompts.
- Commit messages: conventional style (
feat:,fix:,docs:,chore:), short imperative first line. - Direct commits to
main— no feature branches, no PRs, unless the change is risky or collaborative. - External entries must meet the bar in
CONTRIBUTING.md(100+ stars, active maintenance, OSS license). - Third-party skills are never redistributed — we only link. Do not copy a skill's source into this repo.
Do not
- Do not add emojis to the README or any SKILL.md
- Do not rewrite the install-prompt block from scratch — it's numbered and ordered; insert/renumber in place
- Do not create a skill directory without also updating the README table and install-prompt list
- Do not commit
node_modules/, local caches, or editor state - Do not redistribute third-party skill source code — link to the origin repo instead

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.
