First empirical study on how developers are actually writing AI context files across open-source projects. Researchers scanned 10,000 repositories and found only 466 (5%) have adopted AI configuration files like AGENTS dot md, CLAUDE dot md, or Copilot instructions. Why does it matter? Of the 155 AGENTS dot md files analyzed, 50% were never modified after the initial commit. Only 6% had 10 or more revisions. The most common content in these files were conventions, contribution guidelines, and architecture overviews. But there is no standard structure, wide variation in what teams encode, and most files are written once and left to decay. The conventions for this new form of documentation are still in flux.
