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
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “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.

Skills Marketplace — Codex guidance
Read and follow CLAUDE.md in full before working in this repo. It
is the shared source of truth for the architecture, project structure, skill
format, eval-gated edit loop, commands, and gotchas. Do not maintain a divergent
Codex copy of those rules. The per-skill index lives in
skills/INDEX.md, linked from there.
Codex-specific mapping: where shared guidance says AskUserQuestion, use Codex's
structured user-input tool when available, otherwise ask one concise plain-text
question. Skills under test are mirrored from the same source into
.claude/skills/ and .codex/skills/; never fork their instructions by agent.
