We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 115 edited versions we read keep these.
0
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 10
Read and follow framework/work-principle.md before taking up work.
- Very specific: line 19
Read the SoT and follow it.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 115 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
Skill: caveman (Wrapper)
<!-- generated-by: scripts/generate_skill_wrappers.py (do not hand-edit) -->Read and follow framework/work-principle.md before taking up work.
Resolve it against the same framework root as the SoT; retain the consumer CWD.
This is the Claude-Code-discoverable wrapper. The full orchestrator-neutral protocol — methodology, contract, modes, red flags — lives in the SoT:
SoT: skills/caveman/SKILL.md
Read the SoT and follow it. This wrapper is a generated derived
artifact (scripts/generate_skill_wrappers.py); it exists only so
Claude Code can inject the skill into the available-skills
system-reminder for proactive discovery. Do not hand-edit — edits
are reverted on the next generator run and flagged by
consistency_check.

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.

Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
JuliusBrusseeSkillcaveman-explore
Read-only repository explorer for cold-start orientation, broad cross-file localization, or when a direct search failed. Skip it when the exact file or symbol is already named. Returns path:line citations only; its reads stay out of main context.

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
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.
