A study analyzed 3,126 popular GitHub repositories to understand the common practices for creating rule files for AI agents, specifically CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md. The research identified 20 basic rules by testing 70 templates across four samples of 1,000 projects each. The analysis also involved a deep dive into a high-coverage project, garrytan/gstack, to refine the methodology, with the assistance of an AI agent named Claude Code for script generation and execution.
