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, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 37 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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 19
Do the work, following the project's core/ rules (verify before done, no secrets, etc.).
- Very specific: line 23
Put supporting files (scripts, references, longer instructions) next to this SKILL.md.
- Distinctive: line 25
Delete this example once you've added your own skills.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 37 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
Example Skill
This is a working but trivial skill, here to show the shape. Copy this folder, rename it, and rewrite the body with your real workflow.
When this fires
The agent loads this when the task matches the description above, or when you invoke it using
the client's supported skill syntax. Keep the description precise — it's the only thing the agent
matches on.
Steps
- State the goal in one line.
- Do the work, following the project's
core/rules (verify before done, no secrets, etc.). - Report the outcome with evidence.
Notes
- Put supporting files (scripts, references, longer instructions) next to this
SKILL.md; they load only when referenced (progressive disclosure — keeps context lean). - Delete this example once you've added your own skills.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
