How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
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 31,700 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.

≈ “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.
Files
AGENTS.md
Guidance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Warp, etc.) working in this repository.
What this repo is
A Claude Code / OpenCode skill implemented entirely as Markdown. The runtime artifact is SKILL.md: the agent reads its YAML frontmatter (metadata + allowed tools) followed by the editor prompt. There is no build step and no code to run.
Key files
SKILL.md— the skill itself. YAML frontmatter (name,version,description,allowed-tools) followed by the canonical, numbered pattern list with before/after examples. This is the source of truth.README.md— for humans: installation, usage, a summary table of the patterns, and a version history.
The maintenance contract
SKILL.md and README.md must stay in sync. When you change behavior or content:
- Patterns: the skill currently defines 33 numbered patterns. If you add, remove, or renumber any, update the README pattern table, its "N Patterns Detected" heading, and every cross-reference in the same change. Keep numbering stable unless you are deliberately renumbering.
- Version:
SKILL.mdfrontmatter has aversion:field andREADME.mdhas a "Version History" section. Bump both together. - Non-obvious fixes: if you change the prompt to handle a tricky failure mode (a repeated mis-edit, an unexpected tone shift), add a short note to the README version history explaining what was fixed and why.
Editing SKILL.md
- Preserve valid YAML frontmatter (formatting and indentation).
- The prompt below the frontmatter is the product. Edit it like a careful instruction document, not code.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
