Passe compose - avoir agreement
*Etre always agrees with the subject, but avoir does not agree with the subject.
Apparently, there is an agreement with avoir if the object is before the verb, for example if you use le/la to mean it. Also, there is no agreement if there isn't a direct object.
Any other rules?
*excluding pronominal verbs

I'm going to steal one of MarcD50's posts to answer this one. I would suggest, just see this: https://imgur.com/holAUjQ
Etre always agrees with the subject
I just want to add that rules are different with pronominal verbs, which use être. It doesn't always agree. Don't worry about it too much if you're still a beginner, but your statement above about être needs an asterisk. (More sentences with pronominal verbs in the passé composé have yet to be added in the Duo course.)
