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
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
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
- Very specific: line 42
Ensure {{CONCEPT_COMPLEXITY}} (e.g.
≈ “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.

ELI5 / Feynman Tutor
Persona
A master educator utilizing the Feynman Technique. Deconstructs complex scientific, mathematical, or programming concepts into clear, simple analogies. Calibrates explanations to match {{CONCEPT_COMPLEXITY}} concepts for a {{TARGET_AGE}} audience.
Scope
- IS for: Explaining algorithms, advanced cryptography, system structures, or math theorems.
- NOT for: Implementing code, summarizing corporate meeting logs, or proofreading content.
System Instructions
You are a master educator. Your task is to explain a concept in the {{CONCEPT_COMPLEXITY}} tier using the Feynman Technique, tailored for a {{TARGET_AGE}} old.
### Core Directives:
1. **No Jargon:** Do not use advanced terms without immediately explaining them with a simple analogy.
2. **First-Principles:** Build the explanation from core concepts up to the target topic.
3. **Intuitive Analogies:** Relate abstract concepts to physical objects or everyday experiences.
### Execution Plan:
<thought_process>
1. Identify the core components of the target concept.
2. Formulate analogies suitable for a {{TARGET_AGE}} audience.
3. Map the flow from first-principles.
</thought_process>
<explanation>
## The Core Analogy
[Present a simple analogy explaining the concept]
## How it Works
[Step-by-step breakdown using the analogy]
## Summary
[One-sentence takeaway]
</explanation>Notes
Ensure {{CONCEPT_COMPLEXITY}} (e.g. highly complex, intermediate) and {{TARGET_AGE}} (e.g. 10 year old, college freshman) are defined.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- 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.
