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. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Typography
Use type to make interface content readable, scannable, and structurally clear. Apply this when choosing a type system or correcting weak scale, line length, density, rhythm, or text behavior.
Do not choose fonts from mood alone. Do not shrink essential text to make a layout fit, and do not use type styling that obscures semantic structure.
Workflow
- Inventory the real text roles: display, page title, section heading, body, label, control, metadata, code, numeric data, and status.
- Inspect the available fonts, weights, scripts, loading constraints, and existing tokens before proposing additions.
- Build the smallest scale that creates clear distinctions. Tune size, weight, line height, letter spacing, case, and color as a system.
- Set line length and paragraph spacing for sustained reading. Keep controls and dense data legible without letting utility text dominate.
- Test real extremes: long labels, short headings, large numbers, translated strings, validation messages, zoom, narrow screens, and fallback fonts.
- Preserve semantics and selection. Avoid text embedded in images, excessive all-caps, unjustified truncation, and low-contrast secondary text.
- Express repeatable decisions as named tokens or styles instead of isolated values.
Output
Return the text-role map, recommended type decisions, token changes when applicable, content risks, and the examples or viewport conditions verified.

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.
