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
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 45
Permission denied: Verify $BACKUP_DIR ownership and retry with correct permissions
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 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.

Backup
Automated backup skill that creates timestamped archives of Cognithor configuration, skills, and data on a cron schedule (0 * * * * — hourly by default).
Steps
- Check prerequisites — verify backup target exists and has write access:
BACKUP_DIR="${COGNITHOR_HOME:-$HOME/.cognithor}/backups" mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR" && test -w "$BACKUP_DIR" - Create timestamped archive of config, skills, and data:
STAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S) tar czf "$BACKUP_DIR/cognithor_$STAMP.tar.gz" \ -C "${COGNITHOR_HOME:-$HOME/.cognithor}" \ config/ skills/ data/ - Validate integrity — verify the archive is readable:
tar tzf "$BACKUP_DIR/cognithor_$STAMP.tar.gz" > /dev/null - Prune old backups — keep the last 24 hourly snapshots:
ls -1t "$BACKUP_DIR"/cognithor_*.tar.gz | tail -n +25 | xargs rm -f - Return status — the skill returns
{"status": "ok", "automated": true}on success
Example
User > Starte ein Backup meiner Cognithor-Daten
Cognithor > Backup erstellt: cognithor_20260420_140000.tar.gz (12 MB)
Nächstes automatisches Backup: 15:00 UhrError Handling
- Disk full: Log warning, skip archive creation, alert user to free space
- Permission denied: Verify
$BACKUP_DIRownership and retry with correct permissions - Corrupt archive: Re-run backup immediately; if persistent, check filesystem health

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.
