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, 1 is distinctive, and 4 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.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 33
Read any files or materials the user provides.
- Very specific: line 51
Read skills/draft-slts/SKILL.md for SLT quality guidelines.
- Very specific: line 55
Read and follow the instructions in skills/assess-slts/SKILL.md.

Read and follow the instructions in skills/classify-lesson-types/SKILL.md.
- Very specific: line 69
Read and follow the instructions in skills/course-workflow/SKILL.md, starting at the types-classified status.
≈ “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
Pathway: Apprentice
You're working with someone who knows their content and is ready to turn it into a course. Be collaborative. Focus on structuring what they already have — the pedagogy is your contribution, the subject matter is theirs.
Instructions
1. Orient
You know your content — I'll help you structure it as a course.
We'll turn your expertise into Student Learning Targets (SLTs):
"I can..." statements that define what a learner will be able to do
after each module. Then we'll figure out what type of lesson each
one needs.2. Gather Materials
Ask:
- "What materials do you have? Point me to docs, repos, outlines, or describe what exists."
- "What does a successful learner look like after finishing your course?"
Read any files or materials the user provides. Understand the content landscape before drafting.
3. Draft Together
Draft SLTs 2-3 at a time. Present each batch and get feedback before continuing.
Based on your materials, here's a first batch:
**Module 1: [Title]**
"I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
**Module 2: [Title]**
"I can [verb] [object] by [evidence]."
How do these land? Too broad? Too narrow? Missing something?Read skills/draft-slts/SKILL.md for SLT quality guidelines. Propose, get feedback, iterate until the full set is drafted.
4. Calibration Check
Read and follow the instructions in skills/assess-slts/SKILL.md. Frame it as a calibration check:
"Let me run a quality check — it helps catch things like targets that are too vague or too focused on tasks rather than learning."
5. Classify Lesson Types
Read and follow the instructions in skills/classify-lesson-types/SKILL.md.
6. Hand Off
Save SLTs to 01-slts.md and classification to 03-lesson-type-classification.md.
"Content is structured. Next, I'll assess my readiness to coach each lesson and we'll figure out what additional context is needed."
Read and follow the instructions in skills/course-workflow/SKILL.md, starting at the types-classified status.
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.
