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. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
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 11
Read source file; determine current stage by its folder.
- Very specific: line 31
No move. A decision becomes a citation in the next /kb-synthesize <product> run.
≈ “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
/kb-promote <source-path>
Usage: /kb-promote questions/2026-04-17-example-slug.md.
- Acquire
runs/.lock. - Read source file; determine current stage by its folder.
- Dispatch per the promotion path:
question → research-dispatch
- Copy source content into
schema/templates/research-dispatch.mdstructure. - Carry the question text as the Hypothesis; bring context into "Prior constraints."
- Target file:
research-dispatches/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>.md. Date = today. - Mark source question:
status: incorporated, addsupersedes:line pointing at the new dispatch (note: this is a reverse direction from the normalsupersedes:; or alternatively, delete the question — user's preference; default to deletion since questions are lightweight). - Commit:
question: promote <slug> → research-dispatches/<slug>.
research-dispatch → decision
- Extract the Recommendation section into a new
decisions/YYYY-MM-DD-<decision-slug>.mdusingschema/templates/decision.md. - Required sections:
## Why,## What we're giving up. - Dispatch file stays (history is the point). Update its frontmatter:
status: incorporated. Add a pointer to the resulting decision at the end of the dispatch. - Commit:
research: promote <slug> → decisions/<slug>.
decision → synthesis
- No move. A decision becomes a citation in the next
/kb-synthesize <product>run. Suggest/kb-synthesizeto user.
- Regenerate INDEXes:
python3 scripts/rebuild-indexes.py. Source + destination folder INDEX.md files update automatically. Stage all modified INDEX.md files. - Push. Release the lock.
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.
