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
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 17
Every run: open doctrine.md.
- Distinctive: line 23
Verify. Look up skill roots and which harness homes exist, and print those facts instead of asking the user (reference.md).
- Very specific: line 25
Ask once where the skills and AGENTS.md should go (reference.md).
- Distinctive: line 28
Place AGENTS.md for the chosen scopes and the harnesses in use.
- Very specific: line 30
If the skills or AGENTS.md could not be installed, ask once about a manual install (reference.md).
- Distinctive: line 32
Delete old pack leftovers and retired pack skill folders when they match, and nothing else (reference.md).
≈ “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
Setup Gabriel skills
Install this pack's skills, including rules/, and place AGENTS.md where the harness already reads it. User start only, never nested under /task. Install this skill with
npx skills@latest add gabriel-lafrance/skills@setup-gabriel-skills -g -y, then run it.
This skill does not install ESLint, Prettier, or editor files.
Read when
- Every run: open doctrine.md. Skip it and you write files this skill must not touch.
- At a step that links a section? Open reference.md. Skip it and you overwrite someone else's
AGENTS.mdor create a harness home. - About to ask the user? Use the scope question as written; it already carries the recommendation. Once
rules/is installed, later messages follow Plain language. Skip it and the scope question has no recommendation.
Process
- Verify. Look up skill roots and which harness homes exist, and print those facts instead of asking the user (reference.md).
- Ask once where the skills and
AGENTS.mdshould go (reference.md). Wait. - Install or update pack skills for the chosen scopes (reference.md).
- Place
AGENTS.mdfor the chosen scopes and the harnesses in use. Never overwrite a file that is not this pack's (reference.md). - If the skills or
AGENTS.mdcould not be installed, ask once about a manual install (reference.md). Yes: link the repo and say what to put where for the harnesses in use. No: setup failed. Stop. - Delete old pack leftovers and retired pack skill folders when they match, and nothing else (reference.md).
- Report every install, update, delete, skip, or failure, with the reason (reference.md).

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.
