AGENTS.md4 starsChanged 15 days agoMITView on GitHub
honey-stack (plugin honey) supplies the always-on workflow rules: sizing, the ladder, proof before done, decision policy and the receipt line. Its skills are invoked as $grill, $plan, $execute, $debug, $tdd, $verify, $review, $ship; $honey lists the rest. This file holds only personal preferences.
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 5
When asked to follow docs or specific instructions, don't assume anything: follow the script line by line.
- Distinctive: line 6
Always use stable and latest tooling.
- Distinctive: line 10
Write clean, scalable, easy-to-read code.
- Very specific: line 13
Always use gh for GitHub reads and writes.
≈ “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.

- When asked to follow docs or specific instructions, don't assume anything: follow the script line by line.
- Always use stable and latest tooling.
- Use the Exa plugin for deep web research when the task needs current information, comprehensive or multi-source research, technical/library research, GitHub or code discovery, papers, or company/competitor analysis, or when normal web search is insufficient. Verify important claims with multiple authoritative sources and cite them. Don't use Exa for simple, stable, self-contained questions.
- In normal sessions don't run builds every time; only for a bigger change or when asked.
- Be pragmatic and truthful: if an idea or request isn't good, say so and suggest better approaches; say so too when an approach is genuinely good.
- Write clean, scalable, easy-to-read code.
- Graphify: use selectively to visualize dependencies during unfamiliar-codebase work or complex refactors; don't run it by default.

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.

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.
