Use when the work is a feature — anything that adds, removes, or significantly changes user-visible behavior. Builds on a staging branch first, then promotes to production by cherry-pick (never a naive 3-way merge of a long-lived branch).

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
3 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Spec + acceptance criteria: Write what "done" means as testable acceptance criteria before any code.
- Distinctive: line 19
Full prod gate on the promotion PR: Run all three: code-review bot + diff-analysis + security-review on the accumulated diff.
- Very specific: line 21
Close out: Update TEAM-BOARD.md, link both PRs (staging + promotion), record findings, hand off if heavy.
“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.
Files
Feature pipeline → staging first, promote by cherry-pick
A feature adds, removes, or significantly changes user-visible behavior. Features land on a staging branch first to be validated in a real environment, then promote to main as a separate PR. Promotion is cherry-pick only — a naive 3-way merge of a long-lived branch silently drops work that landed on main after staging last synced.
Work the 10 steps in order.
- Deep research. Find the top GitHub repos by stars solving this problem and read how they do it. If a YouTube URL covers the approach, transcribe it. Browse live competitors in a real/headless browser to see the shipped UX. Cite sources.
- Spec + acceptance criteria. Write what "done" means as testable acceptance criteria before any code.
- PLAN — ASK THE USER. Enter plan mode, present the spec and approach. Do not implement until the user approves.
- Branch + build. Branch
<your-staging-branch>-<slug>offorigin/main. Build the feature. Functions < 50 lines, try/catch on async, typecheck + build clean. - Lightweight staging gate → merge → deploy. On the feature → staging PR, run your diff-analysis tool only (plus self-review). Do not run the full security battery at this stage. On green, squash-merge to the staging branch; it auto-deploys to the staging environment.
- QA in a real browser. Exercise the feature against the staging deploy. Capture evidence (screenshots / recording) for each acceptance criterion.
- Promote to
mainby CHERRY-PICK ONLY. First rebase the staging branch onorigin/main. Then cherry-pick the feature commits onto a fresh branch offorigin/main. Never open a naive 3-way merge PR from the long-lived staging branch — it silently deletes work added to main after the last sync.- Cherry-pick conflict rule: prefer the staging branch's behavior + main's config/tokens (env names, IDs, version pins). If the cherry-pick surfaces a pre-existing bug on main, present it to the user as a decision (fix here / separate PR / leave) — do not silently fix it inside the promotion.
- Full prod gate on the promotion PR. Run all three: code-review bot + diff-analysis + security-review on the accumulated diff. Paste all three reports inline. Block on any HIGH / auth / data-correctness finding. A human merges to
main— the agent does not. - Deploy + monitor. Watch the prod deploy and error stream; confirm the feature is live.
- Close out. Update
TEAM-BOARD.md, link both PRs (staging + promotion), record findings, hand off if heavy.

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.
