We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is 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.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Remove target-domain nouns and restate the desired function.

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    If the problem has been expressed as biological functions and constraints, consider discover-biological-analog as the next tactic.

    line 20

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

biologize-problem

Purpose

Translate an implementation-specific problem into biological function and constraint language for mechanism-directed analogy search.

Input contract

required: [target_problem, target_function]
optional: [materials, environment, performance_constraints]
constraints: [function must be implementation-independent and testable]

Procedure

  1. Remove target-domain nouns and restate the desired function.
  2. State environmental pressures, resources, and failure constraints.
  3. Produce biological search terms at function, process, and adaptation levels.

If the problem has been expressed as biological functions and constraints, consider discover-biological-analog as the next tactic.

Output contract

produces: [biological_problem_statement, function_terms, constraint_terms]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, uncertainties]

Quality gates

  • The biological formulation preserves the target function and names constraints without prescribing a target technology.

Failure and counterexamples

Reject keyword-only translations that retain the original implementation vocabulary.

Provenance map

  • biomimicry/biologize: concept (no exact pool entry; biologize-and-discover is a distinct name).

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
