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
- Distinctive: line 8
Use the bundled script for deterministic discovery and git operations.
- Distinctive: line 16
Use a single-select prompt to ask the user which crate to patch, using the crate names from the JSON output.
- Distinctive: line 27
If candidates were returned, prompt the user with a multiselect containing each candidate's SHA and deterministic summary.
- Distinctive: line 30
If commits are selected, preserve their displayed order and run:
- Very specific: line 43
If the JSON result has a waiting status, prompt the user to resolve and stage the listed conflicts.
- Very specific: line 52
Only show the final message after the script returns a complete 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.

Create a Hotfix
Use the bundled script for deterministic discovery and git operations. Run all commands from the repository root.
List workspace crates:
python3 .github/skills/create-hotfix/create_hotfix.py list-cratesUse a single-select prompt to ask the user which crate to patch, using the crate names from the JSON output.
Prepare the hotfix:
python3 .github/skills/create-hotfix/create_hotfix.py prepare <crate-name>The command fetches tags and
maindirectly fromhttps://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust, finds the latest stable<crate-name>@<version>tag, calculates the next patch version, createshotfix/<crate-name>-<version>from that tag unless already on ahotfix/branch, and returns candidate commits frommainas JSON.- If candidates were returned, prompt the user with a multiselect containing each candidate's SHA and deterministic summary. Allow selecting none.
If commits are selected, preserve their displayed order and run:
python3 .github/skills/create-hotfix/create_hotfix.py cherry-pick <sha>...The script automatically resolves
Cargo.lockconflicts by taking--ours, then regenerating it with:cargo generate-lockfile --manifest-path Cargo.tomlIf the JSON result has a
waitingstatus, prompt the user to resolve and stage the listed conflicts. Remain waiting for the user to confirm they are ready, then run:python3 .github/skills/create-hotfix/create_hotfix.py continueRepeat this step if another commit conflicts. Do not abort or skip commits. Only show the final message after the script returns a
completestatus.Report the selected crate, base tag, patch version, branch, and cherry-picked commits. Tell the user:
Make any additional hotfix changes on this branch. Do not merge this branch into
main; cherry-pick any new fixes intomainseparately. See the Azure SDK hotfix branch policy for more information.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
