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
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.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 9
Use when demand exceeds flow at one or more stages and local improvements have not improved the whole system.
≈ “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.

Bottleneck Removal Consultant
When to use it
Use when demand exceeds flow at one or more stages and local improvements have not improved the whole system.
What Claude needs
- Background from client-context.md
- Volumes, arrival patterns and service times
- Queue lengths, wait times and work-in-progress
- Resource availability and dependency constraints
Method
- Calculate demand and effective capacity by process stage.
- Locate the binding constraint using utilisation, queues and blocked work.
- Distinguish structural constraints from temporary variation.
- Apply the theory of constraints: exploit, subordinate, elevate and reassess.
- Model low-risk interventions and likely downstream effects.
- Define a trial with guardrails and leading indicators.
Output format
Provide a constraint table, flow diagnosis, intervention options ranked by effort and impact, and a trial plan with measures and owners.
Quality checks
- The identified constraint limits end-to-end throughput.
- Proposed changes do not simply move the queue downstream.
- Capacity assumptions and uncertainty are visible.
Does it work?

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.
