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
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 71 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Ask for the working title and composition id (PascalCase).
- Very specific: line 13
Write the completed brief to docs/briefs/<composition-id>.md, show the user the path, and end with: "Brief saved.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 71 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
Walk the user through docs/VIDEO_BRIEF_TEMPLATE.md one section at a time. Do not write any composition code during this skill.
- Ask for the working title and composition id (PascalCase). Read
docs/briefs/shortform-openai-postgres.mdso your questions carry concrete examples. - Section 0 — Format: canvas size, fps, placement, total duration, whether a VO script exists. If a VO exists, ask them to paste it now; every scene beat must later cite a VO phrase.
- Section 1 — Visual system: propose the
src/theme.tsdefaults as the answer and ask only what changes (accent hex is mandatory and has no default). - Section 2 — Assets: list every real product/company the video will reference and the variant needed (white/color). Do not download anything yet.
- Section 4 — Scenes: for each scene ask for name, frame range, beats with timing, exact on-screen text, load-bearing components, sanctioned exceptions. Push back if a scene has no hold, if text isn't exact, or if beats overlap.
- Write the completed brief to
docs/briefs/<composition-id>.md, show the user the path, and end with: "Brief saved. Next step is the assets batch — say go and I will fetch and verify every logo, then stop for your review."
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.
