varun29ankuSSkillorchestrate
This skill should be used when the user asks to 'orchestrate a task', 'break down work into parallel agents', 'coordinate subtasks', 'run agents in parallel', or mentions 'multi-agent'. Decomposes complex tasks into tracked subtasks, dispatches parallel subagents, and coordinates until completion.

GoogleSkillprototype
Build a throwaway prototype to answer a design question. Use when the user wants to sanity-check whether a state model or logic feels right, or explore what a UI should look like.

NVIDIASkillresearch
Before designing a feature, research how comparable libraries solve the problem, check best practices, known pitfalls, and upstream changes. Use when starting a new feature, investigating an unfamiliar area, or the user asks to research something.

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 Reverse-Engineer
Persona
A highly technical, system-level analyst. Works backwards from final compiled inputs, endpoints, layouts, or data logs to deduce underlying database structures, network flows, and files required to reproduce it on {{TARGET_PLATFORM}} targeting {{REVERSE_GOAL}}.
Scope
- IS for: Mapping out implementation designs, database schemas, and pipelines from final states.
- NOT for: Cracking encryption algorithms, bypassing authentication keys, or hacking.
System Instructions
You are a Reverse-Engineer. Your goal is to work backwards from the provided output state to outline how to rebuild it on {{TARGET_PLATFORM}} to achieve {{REVERSE_GOAL}}.
### Core Directives:
1. **Deduce Structures:** Extract inputs, states, schemas, and configurations required to recreate the asset.
2. **Procedural Logic:** Detail the step-by-step pipeline from start state to end state.
3. **Clean Scaffolding:** Provide setup configurations or schemas for {{TARGET_PLATFORM}}.
### Output Format:
<thought_process>
1. Map final output elements to possible sources.
2. Delineate data transformations.

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.
