Ingest a finding into the wiki as a claim-tagged note — from journal lessons, the GammaRips engine research docs, or external literature. Use when a lesson recurs, engine research lands, or a best practice needs encoding.
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” 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
wiki-distill
Read wiki/_index/WIKI-SCHEMA.md first. One claim per note; edit-over-duplicate; the
Exit-context field is mandatory and load-bearing.
Procedure
- Check for an existing note (
wiki/_index/FINDINGS.md+ grep). An update to an existing claim edits that note (and flipsStatus: supersededon what it replaces if the claim reversed). Only genuinely new claims get new files. - Pick the tag honestly per the schema vocabulary. The two classic errors:
- upgrading
fragile-conditional→proven-on-cohortbecause it "keeps working" (that's what the forward label arm is for); - tagging literature
proven-on-cohortbecause it matches our intuition.
- upgrading
- State the evidence with its N, cohort, and exit-context. A finding without its hold/exit assumption is not admissible.
- Write the Application paragraph — how the daily loop actually uses it. A note no skill would ever cite is trivia; leave it out.
- Wire wikilinks to related notes; register in
_index/FINDINGS.md(one line + tag). python scripts/lint.py.
Allowed sources
Journal lessons; external research docs (research ledger, briefs, docs/DECISIONS — knowledge curation is the one firewall exception); external literature (verify the citation before asserting it). NEVER distill anything that encodes the any external pick or same-day engine state.
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.
