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 31,542 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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 30
Use display.* helpers for user output — never console.log.
- Distinctive: line 33
Read source files before modifying them.
- Very specific: line 49
Every merge to main gets at least a patch version bump (even docs/CI/test-only).
- Distinctive: line 51
Never add Co-Authored-By trailers or AI attribution to commits/PRs.
≈ “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.

- Named exports only (no default exports).
- Use
display.*helpers for user output — neverconsole.log. - Operate on parsed JSON objects; never text-substitute on stringified JSON.
- Cross-platform:
path.join,os.platform(), never hardcode separators. - Read source files before modifying them. Ask if ambiguous, do not guess.
Project Structure
src/commands/— CLI command handlers (init, upgrade, status, doctor, backup, restore, diff, delete, doc-lint, observability, regenerate-routing, scan, setup-state, worktrees)src/core/— config, merger, scaffolder, workflow-metasrc/data/— agent catalogs, stack definitions, routing metadatasrc/generators/— dynamic file generators (agent-routing.md, etc.)src/utils/— display, npm helpers, hashingtemplates/— user-facing scaffold content (agents, commands, skills, hooks, settings)docs/spec/—SPEC.md(source of truth) andPROGRESS.md(read first every session)
Key Principles
- Source of truth:
docs/spec/SPEC.md. Features must match the spec exactly. - One feature at a time. Test after each. Commit working increments.
- Every merge to
maingets at least a patch version bump (even docs/CI/test-only). - Feature branches never modify shared-state files — those are updated on
developvia/syncafter merging PRs. - Never add Co-Authored-By trailers or AI attribution to commits/PRs.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
