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
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
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 17
Test separation in time, space, scale, condition, and system level.
- Distinctive: line 27
Do not call parameter tuning a separation when both requirements still occur under the same condition.
≈ “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.

Purpose
Resolve a physical contradiction by separating conflicting requirements in time, space, scale, condition, or system level.
Input contract
required: [contradiction, conflicting_requirements]
optional: [system_boundary, operating_conditions]
constraints: [requirements must be stated as mutually conflicting outcomes]Procedure
- State the useful and harmful effects that cannot coexist (
conflicting_requirements). - Test separation in time, space, scale, condition, and system level.
- Select the separation that removes the conflict and state its operating condition.
Output contract
produces: [separation_candidates, selected_principle, operating_condition]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, decisions, uncertainties]Quality gates
- Each candidate names the separated dimension and preserves the useful effect while removing the harmful one.
Failure and counterexamples
Do not call parameter tuning a separation when both requirements still occur under the same condition.

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.
