MicrosoftSkillcreate-agent-adapter
Technical guide for creating a new Paperclip agent adapter. Use when building a new adapter package, adding support for a new AI coding tool (e.g. a new CLI agent, API-based agent, or custom process), or when modifying the adapter system. Covers the required interfaces, module structure, registration points, and conventions derived from the existing claude-local and codex-local adapters.

GrinvSkillchangelog-style
Turn a commit range into CHANGELOG.md entries following common-changelog style. Use when finishing a PR or cutting a release, to write/fix the [Unreleased] section's entries — moving [Unreleased] under a new dated version heading is a separate, automated step (see the release skill / scripts/sync-version.ts), not this skill's job.
Also in 4 projects that use this
GrinvSkilldocs-consistency-check
Check README/manifest.json/server.json/CHANGELOG.md/AGENTS.md and docs/*.md for drift against the actual registered tools and source. Use after adding, renaming, or removing a tool, or as part of a live-audit pass.

Microsoft AzureSkilldocumentation-consistency
Keeps AI Landing Zone contributor, user, and operator documentation aligned with shipped Bicep behavior. Use for parameters, defaults, outputs, topology, deployment flow, operations, or releases.

rivet-devSkilllaunch-graphics
Generate agentOS marketing/launch graphics (launch & social heroes, code-snippet cards) from the committed generators in docs-internal/graphics. Use when asked to make, update, or render an agentOS launch image, social image, "agentOS Apps" graphic, or technical code-snippet image.

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
2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 186 edited versions we read keep these.
2
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 30
Do not START a release because a cron tick fired, because a plan says "finish the release", or because the tree looks ready.
- Distinctive: line 42
Follow its output exactly.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 186 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
/release - Automated Release Management Skill
🚨 HUMAN-GATED — this skill is the ONLY valid entry point
A release may only begin when a human invokes /release in the CURRENT
session. An agent must never start a release on its own initiative. The
/release invocation is the ONLY authorisation there is: once the pipeline's
blocking gates pass, the release proceeds through merge, tag and publish with
no secondary human confirmation — it passes, or a failed gate aborts it.
A release is a decision about scope, which only the human can see. The
rule, the state file (untracked/release-state.json, written once Stage 0's
slate-clean gate returns 0, never before), the resume rules and how to
recover from an unauthorised release are all in
RELEASING.md — "A RELEASE IS
HUMAN-GATED".
- No state file ⇒ no release in progress. A dirty tree, an open
release/*branch or a plan saying "finish the release" is not a substitute — ask. - State file present ⇒ resume from
last_completed_stepand carry the release through to Step 15.
Do not START a release because a cron tick fired, because a plan says "finish the release", or because the tree looks ready.
Run this first
Claude Code loads this markdown and nothing else — the file below is not run for you, and it holds the procedure to follow (Plan 00324):
bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-.claude/skills/release}/invoke.sh" <major|minor|patch|X.Y.Z> [accept-wip]Follow its output exactly; what is written here is orientation.
Usage
/release # auto-detect version bump from commits
/release 2.2.0 # explicit version
/release patch # bump type: major | minor | patch
/release 2.2.0 accept-wip # proceed over in-flight work the slate gate reportedWhat It Does
Executes the pipeline in
RELEASING.md "Pipeline
Overview" — the single source of truth for the steps, their order, their
numbering and which are BLOCKING gates. In outline only: prepare on a
release/<version> branch, open a pull request whose CI runs the whole QA
gate, then — in this session, with the daemon live — run the acceptance tests,
merge the pull request, tag the merge commit and publish. While the pull
request is open, other merges to main are frozen (R-RELEASE-MERGE-FREEZE).
This skill does not restate any step; a step number anywhere in this file is RELEASING.md's numbering. Any blocking-gate failure ABORTS the release.
Agent
The release agent (.claude/agents/release-agent.md) prepares the release
files (RELEASING.md Steps 1b–5). Main Claude orchestrates every other step;
agents cannot spawn nested agents.

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.
