Personal library of reusable Agent Skills. Each subfolder under skills/ is one skill. Help add and maintain skills correctly. Apply the rules below on every skill-creation or review task. rules/system.md is the source of truth — skill structure, the tier model, frontmatter, composition, state, and telemetry. Read it before creating or wiring skills.
Where files are headingNew AGENTS.md files have more rules about keeping secrets out of the code, and fewer about code style.
Of the AGENTS.md files we read, the 31,439 first seen in the last six months, against the older ones: the kind of rule that gained most share, and the kind that lost most. About files like this in general, not this one, and an estimate, since a kind is a pattern in the words.
In this repository45 other files it gives its agents.

The file
We split this AGENTS.md into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 20
Every skill needs a row in README.md.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 40,246 AGENTS.md 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.

Skills — personal Agent Skills library
Personal library of reusable Agent Skills. Each subfolder under skills/ is one skill.
Your role
Help add and maintain skills correctly. Apply the rules below on every skill-creation or review task.
How the system works → rules/system.md
rules/system.md is the source of truth — skill structure, the tier model, frontmatter, composition, state, and telemetry. Read it before creating or wiring skills.
Rules (essentials)
- Each skill is a folder under
skills/with aSKILL.mdcarryingname,description(WHAT + WHEN, ≤30 words),category(workflow·reference·delegation·meta·visual·prompting·quality), andeffort(low·medium·high). - Folder + file names are TitleCase (mirror
~/.claude/skills); thename:field drives activation. - Flat structure, 2 levels max; only
Workflows/andTools/subdirs; context files in the skill root;SKILL.md≤ 50 lines. - Host portability: name skills (not slash commands) and capability-check host-native tools with an inline fallback.
- Word skills via the
Promptingskill. ReserveCRITICAL/MUST/NEVERfor genuine safety gates. - Every skill needs a row in README.md.
Skill composition (always-on map)
Primitives: Verify (quality gate) · Reflect (self-eval)
Drivers: Iterate → Verify + Reflect each pass (wake primitive if the host has one, inline passes if not)
Orchestrate → Decompose→RunLayer→MergeQueue; delegates to Agy/OpenCode/Pi; gates with Verify
Iterate:RunLenses → feeds Spec / Orchestrate
Research → fans out to Agy/OpenCode/Pi
Meta: SkillForge (audit + instrument the fleet) · CreateSkill (build one skill) · ModelUpgrade (re-tune for any model, current or new)
State: .agent-state.md · Telemetry: ~/.claude/state/execution.jsonlWhere to go
- Full system spec → rules/system.md
- Repo layout + Claude Code specifics → CLAUDE.md
- Install a skill into an AI tool → INSTALL-AI.md
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.
