Individuals: 2.75% publish .claude/settings.local.json, 10.5% an agent configuration file
Of 400 individual AI-assisted repositories, 11 published .claude/settings.local.json — a file Claude Code itself keeps out of git — and 42 published an AI agent configuration file. Five of the six high-warning agent-state cells were home-directory paths inside MCP, editor or agent configuration files. No agent conversation history appeared in this frame.

Interpretation
interpretation- Ordinary people publish files their own AI tools define as local, and agent configuration carries concrete local paths: a boundary crossing defined by the tools' own documentation, observed without anyone reading the files.
Limitations
limitations- Exploratory, non-probability frame; not a prevalence estimate.
- No human checked any finding; secret-like means a shape and was never tested.
- Current public state only, observed once.
