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
9 rules. 0 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 60 edited versions we read keep these.
9
Distinctive
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 8
Use this skill when the user is asking a question that requires explanation only, not implementation.
- Distinctive: line 21
Do NOT use this skill if the user wants you to:
- Distinctive: line 22
Write or modify code
- Distinctive: line 23
Create or update files
- Distinctive: line 30
If action is needed, use the appropriate planning skill instead.
- Distinctive: line 41
Read relevant code/files: if the question is about the codebase
- Distinctive: line 43
Use code examples: when helpful (but don't create files)
- Distinctive: line 44
Reference specific files/lines: when explaining existing code
- Distinctive: line 45
Offer follow-up: if they want to take action based on the answer
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 60 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
Ask Skill
Use this skill when the user is asking a question that requires explanation only, not implementation.
When to Use
This skill applies when the user wants to:
- Understand how something works
- Get an explanation of code, concepts, or architecture
- Learn about best practices
- Compare options or approaches
- Get clarification on something
When NOT to Use
Do NOT use this skill if the user wants you to:
- Write or modify code
- Create or update files
- Fix bugs
- Implement features
- Create documentation files
- Systematic code exploration with structured output (use
exploration-explore-codeskill) - Debugging rocprof-sys issues - crashes, hangs, incorrect output (use
debugging-rocprof-sysskill)
If action is needed, use the appropriate planning skill instead.
Quick explanation vs. deep exploration:
| User Request | Skill to Use |
| "How does auth work here?" (quick answer) | ask |
| "Explore the auth system so I can extract it" (structured analysis) | exploration-explore-code |
| "rocprof-sys crashes when profiling my MPI app" (debugging) | debugging-rocprof-sys |
How to Respond
- Read relevant code/files if the question is about the codebase
- Provide clear, concise explanation
- Use code examples when helpful (but don't create files)
- Reference specific files/lines when explaining existing code
- Offer follow-up if they want to take action based on the answer
Response Format
Structure your answer clearly:
- Direct answer - Answer the question first
- Explanation - Provide context and details
- Examples - Show code snippets if relevant
- References - Point to relevant files/documentation
- Next steps (optional) - Suggest actions if they want to proceed
Example
User: "How does the authentication work in this project?"
Response:
Authentication uses JWT tokens with refresh token rotation.
Flow:
- User logs in with credentials
- Server validates and returns access + refresh tokens
- Access token (15min) used for API calls
- Refresh token (7 days) used to get new access tokens
Key files:
src/auth/authService.ts- Main auth logicsrc/middleware/authMiddleware.ts- Token validationsrc/auth/tokenService.ts- Token generation/refreshWould you like me to implement any changes to the auth system?
No Planning Required
This skill does not require:
- Creating a plan file
- Using TodoWrite
- Updating changelog
Simply answer the question and move on.
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
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.
