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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
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
Check markdown files for common mistakes.
- Very specific: line 21
Use the schema matching the installed markdownlint-cli2 version.
- Distinctive: line 42
Run the check command again.
- Very specific: line 46
Use absolute main links, such as the core README (tree/main for directories), including for new files not yet on main.
≈ “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.

Markdown linting
Check markdown files for common mistakes.
Installation and usage
Find the nearest package.json in the current directory or an ancestor through the
repository root that lists markdownlint-cli2 in devDependencies. Run npm ci
from that directory, then run npx markdownlint-cli2 <command> from the current
directory.
Configuration
Configuration is in the repository root .markdownlint-cli2.yaml.
Use the schema matching the installed markdownlint-cli2 version. Nest markdownlint
rules under config and use friendly names such as line-length instead of MD013.
Check Markdown
Lint an explicit list of modified markdown files:
npx markdownlint-cli2 --no-globs <files...>Fix issues
Fix supported issues in an explicit list of files:
npx markdownlint-cli2 --no-globs --fix <files...>Testing
Run the check command again. Report any remaining issues.
Links
Use absolute main links, such as the core README
(tree/main for directories), including for new files not yet on main.
Markdown linting does not validate links. From the repository root, run in PowerShell:
./eng/common/scripts/Verify-Links.ps1 -urls @('<file>', '<file>') -rootUrl "file://$PWD/" -recursive:$false -ignoreLinksFile "$PWD/eng/ignore-links.txt" -checkLinkGuidance:$true -localBuildRepoName 'Azure/azure-sdk-for-rust' -localBuildRepoPath "$PWD"Does it work?

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.
