Convert lessons from a completed difficult task into structural improvements. Use after a long or unexpectedly painful workflow.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 153 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 9
Prefer structural fixes: scripts, tests, metadata, better boundaries, or narrower skill triggers.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 153 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
Reflect
- Compare the intended workflow with what actually happened using the decision log, diff, test history, and failures.
- Identify repeated waste, missing checks, bad assumptions, and the earliest point each could have been caught.
- Prefer structural fixes: scripts, tests, metadata, better boundaries, or narrower skill triggers. Add prose only when it is the right lever.
- Change the smallest reusable artifact that prevents recurrence.
- Re-run the scenario or a focused eval to prove the reflection improved behavior.

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.

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.

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.
