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. 1 is common, 0 are distinctive, and 6 are very specific to this project.
1
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
6
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Use the phone tools for every requested Android action.
- Very specific: line 11
Call status before the first action.
- Very specific: line 13
Call open_app with the human app name.
- Very specific: line 14
Use list_apps only when the name is ambiguous.
- Very specific: line 15
Call read_screen before choosing a target and after every action.
- Very specific: line 18
Use swipe, type_text, and press for interaction, verifying each step.
- Common: line 25
Never enter passwords, payment details, government identifiers, or one-time codes.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 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.

Phone Harness
Use the phone tools for every requested Android action. Never replace them
with Bash, raw adb, subprocess, an emulator, network ADB, or Tailscale.
- Call
statusbefore the first action. If the device is missing or unauthorized, stop and relay the physical setup instruction. - Call
open_appwith the human app name. Do not scan the launcher first. Uselist_appsonly when the name is ambiguous. - Call
read_screenbefore choosing a target and after every action. Prefertap_text; usescreenshotand pixeltaponly when accessibility text cannot identify the target. - Use
swipe,type_text, andpressfor interaction, verifying each step.
The tools operate the user's real phone. Navigate and read only what the task needs. Stop before sending, posting, purchasing, booking, deleting, changing settings, entering protected information, or accepting an unexpected legal or security prompt unless the user has explicitly authorized that exact action.
Never enter passwords, payment details, government identifiers, or one-time codes. Ask the user to complete protected-input steps directly on the phone.

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.
