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 31,774 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.

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

≈ “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.

Go Skills (spf13/go-skills) — Agent Instructions
Source repository for spf13's Go Agent Skills marketplace. The skills table in README.md lists every skill.
Repository Layout
- Each top-level skill directory contains a
SKILL.mdwith YAML frontmatter (name,description) and a.claude-plugin/plugin.json. .claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonis the Claude Code marketplace manifest. Keep it in sync whenever a skill is added, renamed, or removed.CONTRIBUTING.mdlists every rule CI enforces. Read it before changing a skill or a manifest.
Checks
Run these before committing. CI runs the same set, plus a link check of README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md; a monthly workflow checks each skill's current through Go X.Y claim against the latest Go release (check_go_release.py, see CONTRIBUTING.md).

(cd .github/claims && go test ./...)Using these skills from a local clone
Skills are plain directories, so a local clone can serve any agent that reads a skills directory:
- Link each skill into the agent's skills directory (for example
~/.agents/skills/<skill>), as the README describes. Edits to a linkedSKILL.mdtake effect immediately on that machine. - If you sync skills across machines with a linking tool, re-run its sync after adding, renaming, or removing a skill so new links are created and stale ones removed. Editing an existing skill needs no re-sync.
- Other machines pick up changes with
git pull --ff-onlyin their clone, followed by the sync step when skills were added, renamed, or removed.
