The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Use during cost reduction, integration, acquisition or estate simplification to create a reliable application baseline.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 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.

Application Portfolio Map
When to use it
Use during cost reduction, integration, acquisition or estate simplification to create a reliable application baseline.
What Claude needs
client-context.mdfor business background- Application register, owners, users and contracts
- Capabilities, workflows and information handled
- Lifecycle, support, integration and cost details
Method
- Normalise application names, instances, owners and lifecycle stages into one register.
- Map each application to capabilities, processes, user groups and data domains.
- Identify duplicate functions, shadow systems, orphaned ownership and unsupported assets.
- Plot business criticality against technical health on a two-axis matrix.
- Assign tolerate, invest, migrate, consolidate or retire dispositions with rationale.
- Build dependency-aware action waves and validation questions for uncertain records.
Output format
Deliver a portfolio register with application, capability, owner, users, data, cost, health, criticality and disposition. Add a capability map and rationalisation waves.
Quality checks
- Instances are not mistaken for distinct applications.
- Dispositions reflect both business criticality and technical health.
- Unknown fields remain visible with a named validation owner.
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.
