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.

- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 11

- Distinctive: line 25
Start with the user’s task, not the underlying layout.
- Very specific: line 26
Prefer doctor before cleanup, relinking, upgrade, or release.
- Very specific: line 27
Prefer audit for CI or release checks.
- Very specific: line 28
Use document to fill missing SKILL.md sections.
- Distinctive: line 29
Keep the main interaction short and task-first.
≈ “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.

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.
