• Very specific

1. Very specific:

   Always inspect the remote library first with install <source> --list.

   line 16
2. Very specific:

   Prefer --collection when the library clearly exposes a starter pack or focused bundle.

   line 17
3. Very specific:

   Always run --dry-run before the real install.

   line 18
4. Distinctive:

   Keep the install small. Do not pull a whole library when the user only needs a narrow slice.

   line 19
5. Very specific:

   Prefer --collection starter-pack or another named collection when it matches the user's need.

   line 31
6. Very specific:

   Use --skill <name> only when the user needs one specific skill or the library has no useful collection.

   line 32
7. Very specific:

   Do not combine --collection and --skill.

   line 33
8. Distinctive:

   If the plan looks right, run the real install with the same scope.

   line 47
9. Distinctive:

   If the library has a curated collection that already matches the user's stack, use it.

   line 55
10. Distinctive:

    If the remote library is empty or the list output is unclear, stop and report that instead of guessing.

    line 56
11. Very specific:

    If the install path throws an ERROR / HINT, surface that verbatim and follow the hint before retrying.

    line 57
12. Distinctive:

    If the user is exploring a large library, keep them in browse mode first rather than installing immediately.

    line 58

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 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.

  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.
