Write and fact-check public copy so that every figure, credential, promise and command has a receipt - a source with a locator, a command that re-derives it, or the author's own words - and remove any claim without one instead of softening it. Use when drafting or reviewing a README, release notes, a launch post or thread, slides, or a website page; and whenever a draft states a number, a ranking, a credential, a promised result or a command.

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. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Public claims
No receipt, no claim. In public copy every figure, credential, promise and command has a receipt. A claim without one is removed, never softened into "about", "up to" or a vaguer label that implies the same thing.
A receipt identifies what supports the claim and how it was checked:
- a source with a locator:
path:line, a document and section, the issuer's own listing; - a command that re-derives the value on a pinned commit;
- the author's own words, with date and the exact text, supporting an attributed report rather than independent reproducibility.
Distinguish current reproducible results from historical or private-source
reports. For a historical result, retain the original revision, date and
evidence; a recount today measures today's state. If the source is private,
say so in the public claim and identify its type and date without exposing
the private link or material. A row can preserve the exact authorized author
report, for example, "The author reported 42 collected cases on <date>;
the underlying run is private and was not independently reproduced."
Do not turn that report into a verified current test count. If disclosure is
not authorized or adequate evidence is unavailable, omit the claim.
This skill never posts anything. Publishing is a separate decision for a human.
Procedure
- Pin the reviewed revision and write its commit at the top of the fact sheet. Current recounts run on it; historical claims name their own revision and date.
- Keep one fact sheet,
FACTS.md, beside the drafts. A row holds the claim, its value, receipt and verification limits. Drafts quote the sheet and never introduce a new fact. - Find the receipt for each claim in every draft. No receipt: delete the sentence and log it in the changelog.
- Check each figure against its stated basis. Recount current figures on
the pinned revision; retain and verify the source for attributed historical
reports. For pytest cases, run
pytest --collect-only -q testsin a clean checkout of the pinned commit and record its exit status and collection summary, with configuration and environment. Countingdef test_lines counts matching definitions, not collected cases: parametrization, methods and collection rules can change the total. Collection also does not prove that the cases passed. - Check every universal. "Every", "never", "all" and "only" each need a receipt for the universal. When the claim is narrower, write the narrower sentence. Precise beats grand.
- Show only real output. Quote the actual message text the tool prints; never write an imagined terminal session.
- Tag unshipped work
[PENDING]in drafts and keep it off public pages. - Use tokens for undecided names:
{{NAME}},{{REPO_URL}}, so one replace lands the final choice. A private link never appears. - Check length with tokens filled at their final length. Verify the platform's current counting rules and limits for the account and post type, including link handling; use its composer or documented counter.
- Keep a changelog at the bottom of the fact sheet: what was removed, recounted or tagged, why, and on which revision.
Fact sheet row
| Claim | Value | Receipt | Checked on / limits |
Collected pytest cases in tests | <n> | pytest --collect-only -q tests, exit status and saved collection summary | <commit>, <date>, <environment>; collection only |
| Historical author report | <exact dated statement> | <authorized source and locator> | <source date/revision>; private source or not independently reproduced, if applicable |
Done when
Every claim in every draft has a fact-sheet row that supports its actual scope:
current results re-derive on the pinned revision, and historical or private
reports carry clear attribution and verification limits. Unreceipted claims
are gone, not hedged; every [PENDING] tag has been re-checked; and the changelog
names the revision reviewed.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
