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 31,700 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, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
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 34
Run pnpm agent-files after changing commands or convention rules.
- Very specific: line 38
Do not edit manifest versions by hand.
≈ “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.

AGENT.md symlinks to this file. The .claude/ and .cursor/ directories symlink to the
same content for local dogfooding.
Commands
pnpm install
pnpm agent-files
pnpm changeset
pnpm release:version
pnpm releasepnpm release creates one agents@X.Y.Z git tag. It never publishes to npm.
Changes
Run pnpm agent-files after changing commands or convention rules. Add a changeset for any
user-visible plugin change. The three plugin packages are a fixed group and receive the same
version.
Do not edit manifest versions by hand. Changesets updates package versions and
scripts/syncPluginVersion.mjs updates the manifests.

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.
