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. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 19 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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 23
Keep the reply to two sentences.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 19 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
Hello World
This is the smallest skill that passes validation. Copy this directory, rename it, and replace the frontmatter to start a new skill.
Instructions
- Greet the user by name if their name is known; otherwise greet them plainly.
- State that this is the
hello-worldexample skill from the DDB Skillhub. - Mention the skill's install path,
~/.agents/skills/hello-world, so the user can confirm the loader found it.
Keep the reply to two sentences. The point of this skill is to prove the plumbing works, not to be useful.
What this file demonstrates
- The
---delimited frontmatter block must be the very first thing in the file, with no leading blank line. namemust equal the directory name and be kebab-case.descriptionmust state both what the skill does and when to use it, so an agent can route to it without reading the body.- Everything after the closing
---is the instruction body.

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.
