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.
≈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.

Read access to system process information
≈ “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.

List Most Intensive Processes
When to use this skill
Use this skill when:
- The user wants to identify which processes are consuming the most CPU time and memory
- You need to analyze system performance or find resource-hungry processes for optimization
- A user requests to see top N processes by CPU and memory usage
How it works
This skill uses Python's psutil library to gather real-time process information from the operating system, including CPU percentage, memory usage, and process names. It then sorts processes by combined CPU + Memory scores to identify the most intensive ones.
Usage
To use this skill, provide:
- The number of top processes to return (N)
- Optional: A threshold for minimum resource usage (to filter out low-impact processes)
Example:
list-most-intensive-processes 10This will list the 10 most intensive processes in terms of combined CPU and memory usage.
Requirements
- Python 3.x installed on the system
- psutil library (install with
pip install psutil) - Read access to system process information
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
