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. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 10 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
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 13
Read references/lazy.md from this skill.
- Very specific: line 14
If ~/.claude/rules/lazy.md does not exist, write the file with that exact text.
- Distinctive: line 15
If the file exists and differs, show the difference.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 10 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.
Files
Rules
Install the lazy senior dev rules as a user rule file. Claude Code loads every file in ~/.claude/rules/ at the start of each session, in every project.
Steps
- Read
references/lazy.mdfrom this skill. - If
~/.claude/rules/lazy.mddoes not exist, write the file with that exact text. Create the folder if needed. - If the file exists and differs, show the difference. Replace it only if the user says yes.
- If
~/AGENTS.md,~/CLAUDE.mdor another file in~/.claude/rules/holds similar rules, tell the user. Claude Code reads anAGENTS.mdonly when noCLAUDE.mdis in the working directory or above it, so the rule file is the reliable place. Two copies load the rules twice. Offer to remove the old copy, and do not remove it yourself. - Tell the user that the rules load from the next session.
Rules
- Change nothing else in
~/.claude/.

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.
