The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 132 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Very specific:

    Use this skill when creating a new skill folder under skills/.

    line 17
  2. Very specific:

    Use this skill when regenerating a SKILL.md file to align with repository skill standards.

    line 18
  3. Distinctive:

    Do not use this skill for validating an existing skill.

    line 19
  4. Very specific:

    Run discovery sequence in references/discovery-phases.md.

    line 28
  5. Distinctive:

    Keep skill instructions concise and execution-oriented.

    line 51
  6. Distinctive:

    Avoid provider-specific lock-in wording.

    line 52
  7. Distinctive:

    Use relative paths for local references.

    line 53
  8. Very specific:

    Treat allowed-tools as optional/experimental unless explicitly required.

    line 54

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 132 edited versions of this file we could read. “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.

Create Skill

Purpose

Generate complete SKILL.md artifacts for one skill folder, with explicit constraints and reusable references.

When To Use

  • Use this skill when creating a new skill folder under skills/.
  • Use this skill when regenerating a SKILL.md file to align with repository skill standards.
  • Do not use this skill for validating an existing skill.

Required Inputs

  • Skill slug (name) and target folder path.
  • Capability summary and usage triggers.
  • Required inputs, workflow outputs, and failure boundaries.
  • Safety and portability constraints.

Workflow

  1. Run discovery sequence in references/discovery-phases.md.
  2. Apply schema and field rules from references/field-constraints.md.
  3. Assemble required body sections using references/output-schema.md.
  4. Apply safety constraints from references/safety.md.
  5. Produce final artifact using references/output-format.md.
  6. Validate against references/quality-checklist.md before final output.

Output Expectations

  • One complete SKILL.md artifact at skills/{name}/SKILL.md.
  • Frontmatter and folder-name parity are correct.
  • Body sections are complete, actionable, and concise.
  • Output remains provider-neutral and portable.

Resources

  • Discovery workflow: references/discovery-phases.md
  • Field constraints: references/field-constraints.md
  • Output schema: references/output-schema.md
  • Safety policy: references/safety.md
  • Output contract: references/output-format.md
  • Quality checklist: references/quality-checklist.md
  • Skill template: ../../templates/skill_template/SKILL.md

Constraints And Safety

  • Keep skill instructions concise and execution-oriented.
  • Avoid provider-specific lock-in wording.
  • Use relative paths for local references.
  • Treat allowed-tools as optional/experimental unless explicitly required.

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
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.

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.
