Trace how a subsystem works using code and runtime evidence. Use for architecture walkthroughs, data flow, call paths, and are-we-sure investigations.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 82 edited versions we read keep these.
2
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 10
Read the core types and state ownership before narrating individual functions.
- Very specific: line 11
Use vcs, tests, or observe when they resolve an ambiguity.
- Distinctive: line 13
Test at least one claim that could easily be wrong by running or inspecting the real path.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 82 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.

How
Build an evidence-backed explanation of how the requested subsystem works.
- Find the public/consumer entry point, then trace data and control flow toward the effect. Do not start from filenames guessed by name alone.
- Read the core types and state ownership before narrating individual functions.
- Use
vcs, tests, orobservewhen they resolve an ambiguity. Ifdelegateexists, split independent exploration areas and reconcile them yourself. - Draw a compact text or Mermaid diagram when it reduces reader load.
- Test at least one claim that could easily be wrong by running or inspecting the real path.
- Explain in consumer order: trigger -> boundary -> state/transform -> side effect -> observable result. Name file/symbol evidence and uncertainty.

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.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use ketchup-video and Poteto Mode.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

Catch the user up like /ketchup, with a short subtitled video of slides for what happened and the waiting calls as text under it. Use for /ketchup-video.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
