How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 27
Only results with media_url or thumbnail_cdn_url are returned.
- Distinctive: line 29
If the CLI is absent on your runtime, reimplement the same JSON contract against any image-search backend before using this skill.
- Very specific: line 34
Prefer an HTTPS media_url with no credentials, query string, or fragment.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill 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.

Image Search
Purpose
Find public images by text query and return their URLs plus source pages. Text-to-image search only — never use it to identify a person from a supplied photograph.
Tooling
Bundled CLI (Hatch runtime):
/opt/hatch/bin/image-search "<query>" --max-results 5 [--language <code>]Output is JSON: {provider, query, request_id, results: [...]}. Each result carries:
media_url— preferred full-image URL when present.thumbnail_cdn_url— renderable CDN preview; fallback whenmedia_urlis absent. Treat as cache, not durable storage.page_url— source page; keep for provenance/attribution.media_handle,candidate_ref— internal, non-renderable. Never fetch or display.
Only results with media_url or thumbnail_cdn_url are returned. Pick the best match, not blindly the first.
If the CLI is absent on your runtime, reimplement the same JSON contract against any image-search backend before using this skill.
Operating Rules
- This skill returns locators only. It does not download or upload. To keep a durable local copy (e.g. for an artifact or avatar), fetch the chosen URL yourself with the preflight below.
- Prefer an HTTPS
media_urlwith no credentials, query string, or fragment. Use any returned locator byte-for-byte; never rewrite its query string. - Preflight like a browser before fetching, one candidate at a time, bounded timeouts:
curl -fsSLI -A 'Mozilla/5.0' -H 'Accept: image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif,image/webp,image/*;q=0.5' -H 'Referer: <any-https-origin-that-is-not-the-image-host>' '<image-url>'
curl -fsSL --connect-timeout 10 --max-time 60 -A 'Mozilla/5.0' -H 'Accept: image/png,image/jpeg,image/gif,image/webp,image/*;q=0.5' -H 'Referer: <any-https-origin-that-is-not-the-image-host>' -o '<dest-file>' '<image-url>'Accept only a final 2xx whose content type and file magic are an image. Reject hotlink-blocked, expiring, redirecting, 403/404, non-image, watermarked, or unstable URLs. Prefer PNG/JPEG; WEBP is fine except inside Word documents; convert HEIC to JPEG; avoid AVIF on web pages.
- For avatars/profile pictures: prefer stock or generated faces over identifiable real people; flag watermarks before handing the file over.

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.
