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
4 rules. About 1 is common, 2 are 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.

What this repo is
qa-agent-evals is a Claude Code plugin that runs acceptance testing for LLM systems (a SUT, "system under test": plugins, skills, bots, browser apps). An analyst subagent profiles the SUT, scenario cards are generated and approved by a human, executor subagents play user roles against the SUT in an isolated environment, a deterministic grep layer checks facts before a judge subagent (running on a different model) issues verdicts, and reports go back to the human. Browser acceptances (v0.6.0) add a visual layer: state screenshots next to transcripts, a visual-reviewer subagent marks flaws with severity frames — the judge never sees that markup and verdicts do not change.
Docs: README.md (RU, canonical) with EN/ZH/ES/FR translations (README.en.md
and siblings) · docs/spec.md · docs/architecture.md (+ interactive
docs/architecture.html).
Layout
skills/acceptance-test/SKILL.md— orchestrator instructions, five phases A–Eagents/— role definitions: analyst, role-user (executor), judge, visual-reviewer (marks browser screenshots; judge-blind by design)knowledge/— taxonomy (5 card types), adapters and environment isolation, oracle (verdict scale), sandbox levels, golden control setsscripts/— deterministic machinery:run-cards.sh(headless runs),parse-events.py,check-facts.py(fact grep before the judge),judge-batch.py/judge-control.py,sandbox.py+sandbox-proxy.py(docker isolation, fail-closed),sec-checks.py,annotate-visuals.py(validates visual markup, builds the visual review page, publishes named samples)runs/— acceptance artifacts (cards, transcripts, facts, verdicts, reports). Case policy: third-party runs are published only with the owner's consent — ask before committing any.examples/evil-plugin— deliberately malicious plugin used by security checks; run it only inside the docker sandbox.tests/— unit tests and live proxy tests.
Commands
- Unit tests:
python -m unittest tests.test_scripts -v - Live proxy tests (dummy key, no LLM calls):
python -m unittest tests.test_proxy_live -v - Security suite:
python scripts/sec-checks.py docker --out runs/sec-ci - CI (
.github/workflows/security.yml) runs the above on ubuntu. FAIL or ERROR fails the pipeline; SKIP is not PASS.
Conventions
- Working language for docs and commits: Russian. RU README is canonical; keep the EN/ZH/ES/FR translations in sync when changing it.
- Verdict scales are fixed — never invent new statuses: judge: GOT / HONEST / PARTIAL / FAIL / ATTACK_PASSED / INVALID; det layer: DET_OK / DET_MISSING / DET_LEAK / DET_NA / DET_NO_DATA.
- Frontmatter descriptions must parse as strict YAML: wrap values containing colons in double quotes (Claude Code is lenient, external tools like APM are not).
- docs/benchmarks.md (acceptance log) is generated by
python scripts/build-benchmarks.py; never hand-edit it. A new run needs abench.yamlsidecar (sut/type/adapter/env/findings); counts and cost come from index.jsonl and cost.md. The generator refuses to write the page if its guard filter finds private markers — run--selftestfor the positive control. Private runs stay in the private twin repo only. - Oracles are written before the run and are never edited after it. Do not "fix" a card's expectations to match observed answers.
- Never print or commit secrets (gateway keys, tokens). The real LLM key lives only in the sandbox proxy environment.
- Commit identity: this repo publishes under the public identity
vonavikon <workwithkonstantin@gmail.com>only. Before committing, checkgit config user.email; if it shows any other address (for example a corporate one picked up from another environment), switch:git config user.name vonavikon && git config user.email workwithkonstantin@gmail.com. Commit messages must not mention employer names or internal project names. - Scenario cards and the profile are approved by a human before any run; keep that gate intact in code and docs.
Before you finish
Run the unit tests; if you touched sandbox or proxy code, run the security suite. Keep public commits free of private run data.

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.
