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
7 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈7
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 29
Check tools, packages, credentials, network access, and runtime capabilities before execution.
- Distinctive: line 33
Create or improve an academic presentation and its talk narrative.
- Distinctive: line 40
Use the presentation tooling available in the runtime or repository.
- Distinctive: line 41
Keep methods and results legible.
- Distinctive: line 42
Add rehearsal timing, likely questions, and a backup-slide plan.
- Distinctive: line 56
Avoid dense paper paragraphs, tiny figures, and unsupported decorative visuals.
- Distinctive: line 57
Never claim a slide or deck was rendered when only an outline was produced.
≈ “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.

Academic Slides
Create or improve an academic presentation and its talk narrative.
Workflow
- Confirm audience, setting, duration, slide count, source paper, and required output.
- Define one main claim and an evidence sequence that fits the allotted time.
- Build a slide outline with action titles, visual intent, and speaker purpose.
- Use the presentation tooling available in the runtime or repository.
- Keep methods and results legible; move secondary detail to backup slides.
- Add rehearsal timing, likely questions, and a backup-slide plan.
- Render and visually inspect the deck before delivery.
Bundled Guidance

Quality Bar
- Titles should state takeaways rather than topic labels.
- Avoid dense paper paragraphs, tiny figures, and unsupported decorative visuals.
- Never claim a slide or deck was rendered when only an outline was produced.
Does it work?

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.
