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
3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 46 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 24
Verify artifact identity, provenance, tests, security scans, and environment gates.
- Distinctive: line 32
Do not publish tags, releases, or deployments without explicit authorization.
- Distinctive: line 33
Never promote an artifact that has not passed required checks.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 46 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Prepare Release
Coordinate release.md, Git history, CI results, artifacts, and deployment risk.
Parameters
owner,repository,pullRequest: optional release source.version: required or inferred from project convention.environment: target promotion environment; defaultstaging.mode:notes,readiness,candidate,promote, orrollback-plan; defaultreadiness.requireChecks: defaulttrue.format:summary,json, or Markdown release notes; defaultsummary.
Workflow
- Inspect commits, merged changes, version configuration, migrations, and CI status.
- Generate notes covering behavior changes, risks, migrations, dependencies, and rollback.
- Verify artifact identity, provenance, tests, security scans, and environment gates.
- Identify backward-compatibility and data-migration sequencing risks.
- For candidate or promotion modes, require explicit confirmation and verify the exact artifact being promoted.
- Record deployment evidence and post-release verification requirements.
Safety
- Do not publish tags, releases, or deployments without explicit authorization.
- Never promote an artifact that has not passed required checks.
- Redact secrets and sensitive plan or test output.
Output
Return version, source revision, artifact identity, readiness checks, release notes, migration requirements, rollback plan, blockers, and next steps.

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.
