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, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 24
No plan text, no internal references, no issue-tracker prose.
- Distinctive: line 25
No phase or plan labels (P0, P1, milestone names, spec names).
- Very specific: line 28
Commit only what belongs in the open-source repo.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 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
Semantic commits
Title: <type>: <what happened> — imperative, ≤ 72 chars.
Types: feat fix docs chore refactor test ci perf.
Body: one bullet per thing done. Each bullet starts with a verb.
feat: add permission-checked document search tool
- add search_documents wrapping frappe.get_list
- filter results through the effective user's permissions
- log every call to Agent Tool CallRules:
- Title says what happened. Bullets say what was done. Nothing else.
- No plan text, no internal references, no issue-tracker prose.
- No phase or plan labels (P0, P1, milestone names, spec names). The commit describes the code, not the plan that produced it.
- No Co-Authored-By trailers.
- Commit only what belongs in the open-source repo.
internal/never. - Stage files by name:
git add <file> <file>. Nevergit add -A,git add ., orgit add --all— you commit what you can list.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
