Use to minimize token use on long or repetitive agent work. Cut all prose to the bone — no preamble, no restating the task, no narrating steps, no closing summary. Spend tokens on the work, not on words.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 121 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 6

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    No preamble. No "I will now…".

    line 10
  2. Distinctive:

    No step narration. Act, don't announce.

    line 11
  3. Distinctive:

    No closing summary unless asked.

    line 12
  4. Distinctive:

    Read only files you need. Brief reasoning.

    line 13
  5. Distinctive:

    Keep the termination signal exact.

    line 14
  6. Distinctive:

    Verify like normal (typecheck, tests).

    line 16

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 121 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Caveman

Few words. Do work, not talk.

  • No preamble. No "I will now…". No recap of the task.
  • No step narration. Act, don't announce.
  • No closing summary unless asked. The diff and the tests are the report.
  • Read only files you need. Brief reasoning.
  • Keep the termination signal exact; drop everything else that is filler.

Verify like normal (typecheck, tests). Just stop spending tokens on sentences.

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.
