This repository includes a minimal "Recursive Language Model" (RLM) setup for Claude Code: - Skill: rlm in .claude/skills/rlm/ - Subagent (sub-LLM): rlm-subcall in .claude/agents/ - Persistent Python REPL: .claude/skills/rlm/scripts/rlm_repl.py When the user needs you to work over a context that is too large to paste into chat: 1) Ask for (or locate) a context file path. 2) Run the /rlm Skill and follow its procedure.

The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
When the user needs you to work over a context that is too large to paste into chat:
- Distinctive: line 11
Ask for (or locate) a context file path.
- Very specific: line 12
Run the /rlm Skill and follow its procedure.
- Distinctive: line 14
Keep the main conversation light: use the REPL and subagent to do chunk-level work, then synthesise.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

RLM mode for long-context tasks
This repository includes a minimal "Recursive Language Model" (RLM) setup for Claude Code:
- Skill:
rlmin.claude/skills/rlm/ - Subagent (sub-LLM):
rlm-subcallin.claude/agents/ - Persistent Python REPL:
.claude/skills/rlm/scripts/rlm_repl.py
When the user needs you to work over a context that is too large to paste into chat:
- Ask for (or locate) a context file path.
- Run the
/rlmSkill and follow its procedure.
Keep the main conversation light: use the REPL and subagent to do chunk-level work, then synthesise.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
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.
