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.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 12
Read Core Instructions: Check CLAUDE.md (or gemini.md) and /plan/brainstorm.md to understand context.
- Very specific: line 13
Assess Project State: Read .project_state.json to identify the current active phase and outstanding issues.
- Very specific: line 14
Adopt Persona: If the state mandates architecture design, assume the principal_architect role.
- Distinctive: line 17
When an agent tackles a large task, they should break it down for their subagent processes:
- Distinctive: line 23
Before terminating a session, you MUST:
- Very specific: line 24
Update .project_state.json with what was completed.
≈ “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.

Agent Session Protocol Skill
Overview
To function as an effective AI Agent Team (and not just isolated tools), all agents (Claude, Gemini, Cursor) must follow a strict session/handoff protocol. This ensures that the Principal Architect can pass context to the Connector Implementer without losing the thread.
Session Startup Sequence
- Read Core Instructions: Check
CLAUDE.md(orgemini.md) and/plan/brainstorm.mdto understand context. - Assess Project State: Read
.project_state.jsonto identify the current active phase and outstanding issues. - Adopt Persona: If the state mandates architecture design, assume the
principal_architectrole. If executing a tool wrapping, assume theconnector_implementerrole.
Cross-Agent Subagent Coordination
When an agent tackles a large task, they should break it down for their subagent processes:
- The Principal Architect drafts the API shape in a scratchpad or
.project_state.json. - The executing agent runs generation iteratively.
- The Health Watcher (or Verifier) validates the implementation against the rules.
Output Discipline
Before terminating a session, you MUST:
- Update
.project_state.jsonwith what was completed. - Define the remaining blockers or the next phase for the next agent session.
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.
