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
6 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

Run mantis create map with explicit flags.

If the user wants a fully interactive human flow, run only mantis create map "./dataset.csv".

If an agent is driving the flow, avoid interactive prompts by passing flags.

Use mantis setup first if the CLI says API key or URL is missing.
≈ “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.

Create Mantis Map
First: mantis use get_space_context (unless you just ran it this turn).
Use the local mantis create map CLI. Prefer passing arguments explicitly so this works for agents and humans.
Steps
- Get the local CSV/XLSX path from
$ARGUMENTSor ask the user for it. Inspect the header row if it is a CSV. Decide field types (each has a matching
--<type>-columnflag, comma-separated):title: one human-readable identifier column, usuallytitle,name,path, orfile.semantic: text columns to embed, usuallycontent,summary,description,text, orbody.categoric: labels likelanguage,kind,extension,category.numeric: measurements likeloc,bytes,score,count.date: date/time columns.links: URL columns.image: image URL/path columns.geospatial: geographic columns (e.g. a lat/lon pair).coordinate1/coordinate2: precomputed x / y layout coordinates to place points directly.vector: precomputed embedding-vector columns.custom-model: columns embedded with a custom model.connection: columns linking points to each other.- ignored columns go in
--delete-column.
The
--*-columnflags cover all of the backend's supported types. For anything unusual,--data-types <json>passes a rawdata_typesarray straight through.- Ask where to put the map if the user did not specify:
- new space
- existing space
- Run
mantis create mapwith explicit flags. Example:
mantis create map "./dataset.csv" \
--space-mode new \
--space-name "Codebase Index" \
--private \
--map-name "Source Files" \
--title-column "path" \
--semantic-column "summary,content" \
--categoric-column "language,kind,extension" \
--numeric-column "loc,bytes" \
--activate \
--thread-name "Dataset Exploration"For an existing space:
mantis create map "./dataset.csv" \
--space-mode existing \
--space-id "<space-uuid>" \
--map-name "Source Files" \
--title-column "path" \
--semantic-column "summary,content"- Report the created space link and map id from the JSON output.
Notes
- If the user wants a fully interactive human flow, run only
mantis create map "./dataset.csv". - If an agent is driving the flow, avoid interactive prompts by passing flags.
- Use
mantis setupfirst if the CLI says API key or URL is missing.
Does it work?

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.
