frontmatter-header
Skill4 starsChanged 41 days agoMITView on GitHub
Add or update the YAML frontmatter header of a markdown file in a PAROS vault (title, date, author, status, content-driven description, id, version). Use when the person says "add a header", "update the header", "frontmatter for this note", "bump the version", or when creating a new vault file that has no header.
In this repository12 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are 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.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
Read it in full. Read its version: field.
- Very specific: line 18
Follow it. Its ## Constitution always wins.
- Very specific: line 19
If the person corrects the result, write a learning packet to the skill's observations/ folder (P05).
≈ “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.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
