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 3 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
Read caption workflows. Choose exactly one caption input: explicit words, a transcript JSON file, or local transcription.
- Very specific: line 10
Use the optional faster-whisper environment for transcribe: true.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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.

Video Captions
Read caption workflows. Choose exactly one caption input: explicit words, a transcript JSON file, or local transcription. Word entries are {text,start,end} in seconds. Never estimate timestamps and present them as measured alignment.
Use the optional faster-whisper environment for transcribe: true. Its timestamps are ASR estimates. Review technical terms and alignment against the sound, especially after retakes or repeated phrases. Empty or out-of-range captions stop the job.
The renderer groups short phrases and highlights active words; the runner preserves transcript.json and SRT. Check punctuation, line length, contrast, interface safe areas, and placement against the subject. Font coverage must be tested for the chosen language.
Translation is an agent-authored reference workflow. Keep the original timing unless meaning requires revised segmentation and alignment. Bilingual styling and ASS sidecars are not built-in outputs in v0.1. Read the reference for available approaches and engine limitations.
For reels, use the protected content band described in reel direction. Keep phrase grouping readable across cuts; words can emphasize actual speech, while arbitrary beat timing must not replace measured word timestamps.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
