Read the repository-wide agent instructions first. This file scopes work under docs/. docs/mpress/ is the supported source for the Wails v3 documentation site. English source pages live in content/; translations live in locale directories; shared static files and styles live alongside them. Generated site output is written to docs/mpress/site/. The separate Docusaurus project in website/ contains the v2 documentation and versioned historical content. Do not move or duplicate the M-Press v3 documentation there.
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 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.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Read mpress/CONTRIBUTING.md before substantial documentation changes.

Keep root mpress.yaml and mpress/mpress.yaml aligned when changing site-wide configuration.
≈ “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.

Wails Documentation Agent Guide
Read the repository-wide agent instructions first. This file scopes work under docs/.
Intent
docs/mpress/ is the supported source for the Wails v3 documentation site. English source pages live in content/; translations live in locale directories; shared static files and styles live alongside them. Generated site output is written to docs/mpress/site/.
The separate Docusaurus project in website/ contains the v2 documentation and versioned historical content. Do not move or duplicate the M-Press v3 documentation there.
How to work here
- Read
mpress/CONTRIBUTING.mdbefore substantial documentation changes. - Edit source files under
mpress/content/and translation sources, not generated output undermpress/site/. - Keep root
mpress.yamlandmpress/mpress.yamlaligned when changing site-wide configuration; the root configuration supports repository-level tasks and the nested one supports standalone builds. - Preserve the site's language layout and metadata conventions. Update translations only when requested or when the task's scope includes them; do not invent translated content.
- Preview and validate with the pinned M-Press toolchain documented in
README.mdorTaskfile.yml. The standard repository task istask docs:build. - Release publishing owns the generated changelog source and release notes; coordinate changes to those files with the release workflow.
In scope
- Wails v3 guides, tutorials, API references, changelog content, translations, M-Press configuration, and documentation-specific scripts.
- Documentation corrections and examples that explain existing framework behavior.
Out of scope
- Framework implementation changes; make those in
v3/and update docs as needed. - Docusaurus v2 or historical documentation, which belongs in
website/. - Editing generated site output, deployment infrastructure, or release artifacts by hand.

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.
In this repository8 other files it gives its agents.

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.
