Skill4 starsChanged 2 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Rules for code that calls the operating system directly. This skill covers file descriptors, file management, durable writes, processes, signals, threads, and interprocess communication. It also covers the toolchain that assembles, links, loads, and runs a program. Use this skill when you open, read, write, copy, move, delete, lock, or scan files. Use it when you start a process, handle a signal, or share memory. Use it when you debug a fault that appears only under load or only sometimes. This skill is not about software architecture. For architecture, use the system-design skill. The content comes from Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment (Stevens and Rago) and Systems Programming (Donovan).

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈9

This author's own choices. Worth a look.
21
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “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.
