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.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill when:

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    Read access to the target directory and its contents

    line 35

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

List Large Files

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

  • The user wants to identify the largest files in a directory structure
  • You need to analyze disk usage or find large files for cleanup
  • A user requests to see top N largest files in a specific path

How it works

This skill uses Python to recursively traverse directories and calculate file sizes, then returns the top N largest files found.

Usage

To use this skill, provide:

  1. The directory path to scan (e.g., "/home/user/documents")
  2. The number of top files to return (N)

Example:

list-large-files /home/user 10

This will list the 10 largest files in /home/user and all its subdirectories.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x installed on the system
  • Read access to the target directory and its contents

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.

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.
