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
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
Run a deep causal inference review of the thesis methodology.
- Very specific: line 14
Read the methodology chapter: thesis/chapters/04_methodology.tex
- Very specific: line 15
Read the results chapter: thesis/chapters/05_results.tex
- Very specific: line 16
Read the causal inference rule: .claude/rules/causal-inference.md
- Distinctive: line 26
No argument — Full comprehensive review
≈ “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.
Files
Check Methodology
Run a deep causal inference review of the thesis methodology. The optional argument specifies a focus area.
Instructions
- Read the methodology chapter:
thesis/chapters/04_methodology.tex - Read the results chapter:
thesis/chapters/05_results.tex - Read the causal inference rule:
.claude/rules/causal-inference.md - Perform the full review per the causal-inference agent instructions
Focus Areas (optional argument)
identification— Focus on parallel trends, exogeneity, and threatstwfe— Focus on TWFE validity and heterogeneous treatment concernsshift-share— Focus on Bartik instrument conditions (BHJ, GPSS)inference— Focus on clustering, small-cluster corrections, spatial correlationrobustness— Focus on sensitivity checks and what additional checks are needed- No argument — Full comprehensive review
Output
Return the structured review report with priority recommendations.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
