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 31,843 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, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

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

Keep tokens, login state, transcripts, and machine-specific provider settings out of config/.
≈ “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 Instructions
_AGENTS.md is the shared instruction file this repo ships to every framework. It is
not this file's job to restate it; read it directly when working on its content.
Layout
skills/— local skills, one directory per skill, plusremote-skills.txtconfig/claude/,config/codex/, andconfig/pi/— public agent configuration.mise/tasks/sync/— configuration, skill, and BB server sync tasksscripts/sync_config.py— configuration deployment with backups and a baseline
Commands
mise run format— dprint across TS/JSON/YAML/TOML/Markdown/HTML and ruff for Pythonmise run sync— format, copy configuration, link instructions, and sync skills to BBmise run sync:skills— copy local and remote skills toBB_SKILLS_TARGETmise run sync:config -- --check— check configuration without writing files"$(mise which python3)" -m unittest discover -s tests -v— configuration and skill sync tests
Keep tokens, login state, transcripts, and machine-specific provider settings out
of config/. Configuration sync uses copies, backs up changes, and refuses local
edits to repository keys. Keys that only the target sets stay local. Review
local edits before using --replace.
mise run sync runs format first, so a sync can leave formatting changes in the
working tree. Commit them separately.
Code style
- Python: 3.12+, ruff (88-char lines, double quotes), snake_case, type hints required
- TypeScript: strict mode, camelCase functions, PascalCase types, Zod for validation

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.
