We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Never commit .env values or Playwright storage states.
≈ “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.

Project Structure & Module Organization
Core TypeScript utilities live in src/, grouped by feature folders such as api-request, intercept-network-call, and log. Build outputs land in dist/; regenerate them via npm run build instead of editing. Docs stay in docs/, and Playwright specs, fixtures, and config live in playwright/. The sample-app/{backend,frontend} workspace powers demo flows, scripts/ holds automation helpers, and transient outputs (playwright-report/, test-results/, har-files/) should remain untracked.
Build, Test, and Development Commands
npm run build: clean + emit CJS, ESM, and type outputs intodist/.npm run validate: parallel type-check, lint, unit tests, and formatting to catch regressions fast.npm run test: executessample-appbackend Jest suite and frontend Vitest suite.npm run test:pw/npm run test:pw-ui: run Playwright specs headless or in UI mode againstTEST_ENV=local.npm run test:pw:burn-in: repeats flaky suites (PW_BURN_IN=true) before promoting changes.npm run start:sample-app: boots backend + frontend so local playwright runs hit real services.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
Source targets Node 18+, so use 2-space indentation, trailing commas, and ES module syntax. Prefer named exports and keep file names kebab-case to satisfy eslint-plugin-filenames. Run npm run fix:format (Prettier + ESLint) before pushing, and store fixtures beside their modules (for example src/api-request/fixtures.ts).
Testing Guidelines
Author unit or component tests beside the code they verify, mirroring the *.spec.ts naming pattern in sample-app. Integration flows belong in playwright/tests; tag cases that hit external services and capture HTML reporter output when failures occur. Run npm run validate plus the needed Playwright command before every PR, and use npm run test:pw:burn-in for flaky or high-traffic fixtures.
Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
Use Conventional Commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, docs:, chore:) with subjects ≤72 characters and keep each commit focused. Include updated HAR/log assets whenever behavior shifts. PRs must link an issue, summarize the change, list validation steps, and attach screenshots or console output for UI/test updates; rerun npm run validate after rebases and note any skipped checks.
Security & Configuration Tips
Never commit .env values or Playwright storage states; rely on TEST_ENV and document defaults in docs/. Run setup-playwright-browsers after fresh installs for consistent binaries. Dry-run releases with npm run publish:local before tagging to confirm artifacts and registry scopes.
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.

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.
