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, 2 are distinctive, and 0 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “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.

Idea to Brief
Convert raw requirement snippets into a compact, testable planning brief with falsifiable gates.
Use when
- Use for ambiguous requests or before build when success criteria are unclear.
Inputs
- Active run, objective, track, and authority context.
- Declared track boundaries and budget controls.
- Typed evidence references and required file paths.
Procedure
- Normalize user intent into objective, scope, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
- Extract assumptions and unknowns with explicit follow-up questions.
- Produce a brief that is executable by spec-pack and test gates.
- Attach falsifiable risks and explicit owner decisions.
- Return one concise artifact with clear done conditions.
Output contract
- Deterministic status, evidence hash list, and explicit status transitions.
- Typed halt reason with exact next-step obligations when blocked.
Halt conditions
Stop with a precise error for missing authority, expired lease, namespace mismatch, unsafe proof, private data exposure, unknown capability, or unverified behavior claim.
Notes
Core execution does not require network access or the source checkout. Use the bundled fallback behavior when live capabilities are blocked.
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.
