Skill138 starsChanged 5 months agoApache-2.0View on GitHub
Generates and updates project README documentation based on codebase changes. Use when generating or updating application documentation. Don't use for inline code comments or docstring-only refactoring.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 94 edited versions we read keep these.
6
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Failure handling: If no application source files exist in the target directory, inform the user before creating placeholder documentation.
- Distinctive: line 40
Check git status and git diff (if inside a Git repository) to identify newly added features, modified endpoints, or updated configuration …
- Distinctive: line 42
Read the existing README.md file in the application directory (if present) to preserve valid custom sections and project context.
- Distinctive: line 47
Create a new README.md file in the application directory (or update the existing file) with the following structured sections:
- Distinctive: line 64
Verify that all file paths, shell commands, environment variables, and port numbers in README.md match the actual codebase.
- Distinctive: line 66
Ensure Markdown formatting uses proper heading hierarchy, language-tagged fenced code blocks, and valid relative links.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 94 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.

- Application source files: Project source code, configuration files, and
dependency manifests (
requirements.inandrequirements.txt) present in the workspace. - Development standards: Workspace rules defined in
.agents/rules/dev-rules.md. - Failure handling: If no application source files exist in the target directory, inform the user before creating placeholder documentation.
Workflow
1. Analyze codebase and recent changes
- Inspect the application directory structure, entry points, data models,
routes or CLI commands, and dependency manifests (
requirements.inandrequirements.txt). - Check
git statusandgit diff(if inside a Git repository) to identify newly added features, modified endpoints, or updated configuration options. - Read the existing
README.mdfile in the application directory (if present) to preserve valid custom sections and project context.
2. Draft or update README.md
Create a new README.md file in the application directory (or update the
existing file) with the following structured sections:
- Project overview: Concise summary of the application's purpose, key features, and technology stack.
- Project structure: Overview of the main directories and source files.
- Prerequisites and setup: Required Python runtime version, virtual
environment setup, dependency compilation and installation, and environment
variable configuration following
.agents/rules/dev-rules.md. - Running the application: Exact commands to start the application locally and the local URL/port to access it.
- API reference and usage: Summary of available HTTP endpoints (method, path, request parameters, and response behavior) or user workflows.
- Running tests: Commands to execute the unit test suite.
3. Verify accuracy and formatting
- Verify that all file paths, shell commands, environment variables, and port
numbers in
README.mdmatch the actual codebase. - Ensure Markdown formatting uses proper heading hierarchy, language-tagged fenced code blocks, and valid relative links.
- Summarize the documentation updates for the user.

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.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

BrowserWorksSkillaccessibility-frontend-review
Performs an accessibility code review of a local diff or Phabricator revision in the style of the Firefox accessibility team. Use this skill whenever the user asks to review a Phabricator patch or revision for accessibility issues, mentions a D-number (like D284142) in the context of accessibility review, asks "does this patch have any a11y issues", or wants to check a diff against accessibility guidelines. Also use it when the user says things like "can you review this for a11y", "check this patch", or "give me an accessibility review of D[number]". Invoke proactively when the user pastes a phabricator.services.mozilla.com URL or shares a revision ID alongside any accessibility concern. Invoke when questions about the following topics are raised: aria properties, aria roles, high contrast mode, forced colors, prefers contrast, focus order, screen readers, assistive technology.

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.
