Start a work session on this project. Loads project state from disk — changelog, open tasks, and the spec of the current task — so the session resumes from ground truth. Use at the beginning of every session.

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, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 11
Follow the canon's session discipline (spec/standards/spec_driven_standard.md).
- Very specific: line 16
uninitialized project: If a brief is present (passed, or a *.md brief in the repo), route to init-project (or spec) instead of resuming — …
- Very specific: line 22
Load the relevant spec: Read the spec/ files that the current task touches *before* writing any code.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 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
start-session
Follow the canon's session discipline (spec/standards/spec_driven_standard.md).
- Detect state first. Uninitialized markers:
CLAUDE.mdstill holds<...>placeholders, orspec/domain/entities.yamlhas only theExamplestub (no real product nouns), orspec/features/holds only kit modules (_example,continuity,enforce). Any of these → uninitialized project. If a brief is present (passed, or a*.mdbrief in the repo), route toinit-project(orspec) instead of resuming — don't spend a session asking "how does the framework work". State this and proceed. - Read the changelog. Open
CHANGELOG.md, read the most recent entries. - Find active work. List
spec/features/*/spec.yamlwithstatus: approvedor in-progress. If one is unfinished, that's your resume point. - Load the relevant spec. Read the
spec/files that the current task touches before writing any code. - State the plan. Summarize where the project is and what you'll do next.
Invariant: every session resumes from disk, not from memory. Uninitialized + brief present →
init-project, not a Q&A about the framework.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether 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.
