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
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
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
- Distinctive: line 22
test and performance requirements
- Distinctive: line 60
Keep this skill aligned with the relevant rules layer and current project documentation.
- Distinctive: line 61
If engine-specific constraints materially change the workflow, hand off to the matching engine skill or engine-specific reviewer.
≈ “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.

Gameplay Architecture
Purpose
Define system ownership, boundaries, state flow, and extensibility for gameplay code across engines.
Use When
- a feature touches multiple systems
- architecture is becoming hard to reason about
- new systems need stable contracts
Inputs
- feature intent
- engine constraints
- existing architecture
- test and performance requirements
Process
- define system responsibilities and boundaries
- map state ownership and event flow
- separate authored data, runtime logic, and presentation
- identify extension points and anti-coupling measures
- record risks, migration concerns, and validation strategy
Outputs
- architecture sketch
- system boundary notes
- state ownership map
- implementation constraints
Quality Bar
- gameplay systems communicate through explicit interfaces or events, not direct cross-references
- game state ownership is unambiguous: each piece of state has exactly one writer
- systems can be tested in isolation with stubbed dependencies
- the update/tick flow is documented: what runs in what order, and why
Common Failure Modes
- god objects that accumulate every gameplay responsibility
- bidirectional dependencies between systems that make any change risky
- state mutated from multiple systems with no clear owner
- architecture that only works at current scale and collapses with content growth

Notes
- Keep this skill aligned with the relevant rules layer and current project documentation.
- If engine-specific constraints materially change the workflow, hand off to the matching engine skill or engine-specific reviewer.
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.
