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
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.

Bundle per artifact: every artifact gets its own subfolder named after it, e.g.
≈ “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.

Generated Artifacts Output
All HTML artifacts and their related assets MUST be written to ./.tmp-artifacts/.
- Scope: rendered reports, dashboards, visualizations, session/insight reports, screenshots, and any backing assets they depend on (CSS, JS, images, fonts, and JSON/data files).
- Location: always under
./.tmp-artifacts/at the repo root. Create it withmkdir -p .tmp-artifactsif it does not exist. Never scatter these files in the repo root or in source directories. - Bundle per artifact: every artifact gets its own subfolder named
after it, e.g.
./.tmp-artifacts/<artifact-name>/. The main file and all of its related assets (data JSON, CSS, JS, images, fonts) live together in that one subfolder so each bundle is self-contained and portable. Never drop loose files directly in./.tmp-artifacts/— its root holds only bundle subfolders. - Version control:
./.tmp-artifacts/is git-ignored. Never commit its contents and never force-add (git add -f) files from it.
Example layout:
.tmp-artifacts/
session-report-20260626/ # one bundle
session-report-20260626.html
_session-report.json
_session_index.json
insights-report-zh-cn/ # another bundle
insights-report-zh-cn.md

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.
