The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 56
If noise:true → opportunistic, not targeted
- Very specific: line 57
If noise:false → potentially targeted, higher priority
≈ “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.

Classification Meaning
| Classification | Meaning | Action |
benign + noise:true | Known benign scanner (Shodan, Censys, etc.) | Likely false positive — deprioritise |
malicious + noise:true | Known malicious scanner | Real threat, but opportunistic, not targeted |
unknown + noise:true | Unclassified scanner | Investigate further |
noise:false + riot:false | Not a known scanner | May be targeted — investigate |
riot:true | Known benign service | Definitely deprioritise |
CTI Value
GreyNoise answers: "Is this IP scanning the whole internet, or is it specifically targeting us?"
- If
noise:true→ opportunistic, not targeted - If
noise:false→ potentially targeted, higher priority

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.
