The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
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 14
Read .agentic-rounds/state.yaml and the round handoff.
- Very specific: line 15
If project.session_mode.mode is already set, treat it as fact and skip the recommendation/choice step.
- Distinctive: line 17
If no project-level mode exists, generate a recommendation:
- Distinctive: line 54
Do not enter developer work before the mode gate is resolved.
- Distinctive: line 55
Do not re-ask the user when project-level mode is already stored.
- Distinctive: line 56
Do not claim single-session auto-audit when dispatch transport is unavailable.
≈ “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
session-mode
Resolves project-level single-session vs multi-session execution and prints
role-specific identity prompts. Once project.session_mode is present in
.agentic-rounds/state.yaml, do not ask again per round.
Workflow
- Read
.agentic-rounds/state.yamland the round handoff. - If
project.session_mode.modeis already set, treat it as fact and skip the recommendation/choice step. If no project-level mode exists, generate a recommendation:
arcgentic session-mode recommend \ --round <round-id> \ --handoff <handoff-path>- Print recommendation, confidence, reasons, suggested role identities, and override instructions before asking the user to choose.
Print only the identity handoff prompt needed for the next role:
arcgentic session-mode prompt \ --round <round-id> \ --handoff <handoff-path> \ --mode multi-session \ --role developerV1 valid roles:
developer,auditor,closeout.For V2 Codex-native orchestration, generate the fixed-role host plan instead of per-round role prompts:
arcgentic v2-session-plan \ --state .agentic-rounds/state.yaml \ --host codexV2 session roles are fixed to
Orchestrator,Planner,Developer, andAuditor.close-roundis an orchestrator-owned command, not a session role.
Boundaries
- Do not enter developer work before the mode gate is resolved.
- Do not re-ask the user when project-level mode is already stored.
- Do not claim single-session auto-audit when dispatch transport is unavailable.
- In V1, developer, auditor, and closeout identity prompts must remain separate.
- In V2, keep exactly four fixed role sessions and never create round-numbered role threads.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether 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.
