We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Remove branch detail that does not distinguish the intended direction.

    line 23
  2. Distinctive:

    Check traceability back to the goal tree and record unresolved tension.

    line 25
  3. Distinctive:

    Every essential term traces to a goal or constraint.

    line 37
  4. Distinctive:

    Do not turn a slogan into a North Star or omit constraints merely to make the sentence aspirational.

    line 41

≈ “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.

crystallize-north-star

Purpose

Compress a validated goal structure into one specific, ambitious, achievable research North Star.

Input contract

required: [goal_tree, constraints, intended_effect]
optional: [feasibility_annotations, actor_profile, evidence_context]
constraints: [the statement must preserve the declared outcome and limiting constraints]

Procedure

  1. Identify the highest-value outcome and the mechanism or capability it should change.
  2. Remove branch detail that does not distinguish the intended direction.
  3. Draft one sentence with outcome, scope, and constraint boundaries.
  4. Check traceability back to the goal tree and record unresolved tension.

Output contract

produces: [north_star_statement, research_brief, traceability_map, unresolved_tensions]
delta_fields: [findings, hypothesis_updates, decisions, uncertainties, open_questions]

Quality gates

  • The statement is testable and scoped.
  • Every essential term traces to a goal or constraint.

Failure and counterexamples

Do not turn a slogan into a North Star or omit constraints merely to make the sentence aspirational.

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.
