    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.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    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
  1. Very specific:

    If TaskNotes has no auth token set, you don't need a .env file.

    line 23

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

TaskNotes Skill

Manage Obsidian tasks via the TaskNotes plugin HTTP API.

Requirements

  1. TaskNotes plugin installed in Obsidian
  2. Enable HTTP API in TaskNotes settings:
    • Open Obsidian Settings → TaskNotes
    • Enable "HTTP API" toggle
    • Set API port (default: 8080)
    • API token: leave empty for no auth, or set a token for security
  3. Environment variables in .env file at vault root (if using auth):
    TASKNOTES_API_PORT=8080
TASKNOTES_API_KEY=your_token_here
    If TaskNotes has no auth token set, you don't need a .env file.

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.
