File content into the KB: source, comparison, decision, brainstorm, strategy, interview, experiment, advisor or team profile. Use when the user says: save this to the KB, add this, log this, record this, file this for later (with an unread URL: fetch it now). Picks folder and template, fills frontmatter, commits, pushes. Not for todos (add-todo skill) or transcripts (meeting skill).

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. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 10

- Distinctive: line 11
Classify: Use AGENT-GUIDE.md §"Where does this content go?" to pick the destination folder.
- Very specific: line 13
Fill frontmatter: All required fields for the type (see schema/kb-schema.yaml).
- Distinctive: line 14
Fill body: Keep required sections per CONVENTIONS §"Required body sections":
- Very specific: line 21
Regenerate INDEXes: Run python3 scripts/rebuild-indexes.py.
- Very specific: line 22
Stage + commit + push: Use the right commit prefix per CONVENTIONS §"Commit convention".
- Very specific: line 25
If the pre-commit lint fails: fix the content (or amend the schema, with a separate schema: commit) — never --no-verify.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
/add-entry — Add content to the KB
Steps:
- Acquire the single-writer lock. Check
runs/.lock. If it exists, abort with "another agent is writing, retry later." Otherwise write<session-id> <ISO-timestamp>to it. - Classify. Use AGENT-GUIDE.md §"Where does this content go?" to pick the destination folder. If ambiguous, ask the user.
- Copy template. From
schema/templates/<type>.mdto the target path. File naming per CONVENTIONS §"File naming" (dated flat file OR entity folder — see comparisons/advisors/discovery/team conventions). - Fill frontmatter. All required fields for the type (see
schema/kb-schema.yaml). Do not invent values — ask the user where needed. Always write adescription:field (≤120 chars, rule-not-summary, no wikilinks/links, include category keyword — see the template's placeholder hint for examples). - Fill body. Keep required sections per CONVENTIONS §"Required body sections":
- synthesis:
## Counter-arguments,## Data gaps - decision:
## Why,## What we're giving up - comparison:
## Decision
- synthesis:
- Stamp any thread this entry resolves. Ask: does this new entry answer an open thread recorded in an existing doc — a
## Open threadsbullet, a[?question]/[?decision]tag, an unresolved question you remember from this session? If yes, apply an inline resolution stamp to that doc (CONVENTIONS §"Growth rules" → "Resolution stamps"):**Resolved YYYY-MM-DD → [[this-entry]]:** <one line>at the head of the resolved bullet, original text left below. Add a back-link from this entry's## Related. Do NOT supersede/rewrite the host doc — it stays live. Stage the stamped doc to commit alongside the new entry. Skip if nothing is resolved (most entries resolve nothing — don't manufacture one). 6a. Check for an existing entry and back-stamp versions. Runpython3 scripts/kb-prompt-lookup.py "<entity or slug>"first: if the entity already has a file or hub, update or link it instead of creating a parallel one. If this file replaces an older version (-vN,draft-N, a newer deck), setsupersedes:here AND stamp the old filestatus: superseded+superseded_by:+ a> ⚠️ Superseded by [[...]]banner, and update the hub's current-docs row. Lint rejects the commit otherwise. Collateral made for one specific program, customer or project goes in that entity's folder, notstrategy/. 6b. Keep current truth current. Ask: does this change what is true now — an outcome, a status, a number, a price, a decision, who someone is? If yes: (a) edit the matching line inSTATE.mdand bump itsas-of:date; (b) update the hub README if the entity has one (seeALIASES.md); (c) add a new row toALIASES.mdfor any new recurring name, nickname or transcript mis-spelling; (d) put a one-line outcome banner on older files that still read as open. Stage these in the same commit set. Skip silently if nothing changed. - Regenerate INDEXes. Run
python3 scripts/rebuild-indexes.py. It rewrites the destination folder'sINDEX.md(and rootINDEX.mdif a new folder was created). Stage any modified INDEX.md files alongside the new content file. - Stage + commit + push. Use the right commit prefix per CONVENTIONS §"Commit convention". Message format:
<prefix>: <verb> <slug>. Always push after. - Release the lock.
rm runs/.lock.
If the pre-commit lint fails: fix the content (or amend the schema, with a separate schema: commit) — never --no-verify.
Required reading first time: CONVENTIONS.md, AGENT-GUIDE.md, schema/kb-schema.yaml.
Does it work?

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.
