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. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 7 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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 27
Use only what the conversation or the records you actually read support.
- Very specific: line 38
When the decision bears on a specific task or document, link it with manage_relationship and a concise rationale for the link itself.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 7 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
Log a decision
Record this decision in Kontext: $ARGUMENTS
With no argument, use the decision this session just reached. If the session reached more than one, ask which — do not log all of them as a batch.
What makes it worth reading later
The decision alone has almost no value in six months. The reasoning does. Capture:
- Decision — what was chosen, in one line.
- Context — what forced the choice. The constraint, the bug, the scaling limit.
- Alternatives rejected — what else was on the table and why it lost. This is the part a future session cannot reconstruct from the code.
- Consequences — what this now commits the project to, and what it rules out.
- Status — settled, or provisional and worth revisiting under what condition.
Use only what the conversation or the records you actually read support. Do not invent a rationale to fill out the shape, and do not upgrade a guess into a stated reason. If the "why" was never established in this session, ask the user for it rather than fabricating it.
Write it
search_contextfirst — if this supersedes an earlier decision, update that record and note what changed rather than leaving two contradictory entries in the Space.list_projectsand setprojectIdso the decision lands in the right workstream.manage_documentwith a title that states the decision, not the topic: "Postgres over schema-per-tenant for isolation", not "Database notes".- When the decision bears on a specific task or document, link it with
manage_relationshipand a concise rationale for the link itself.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
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.
