Skill18 starsChanged 53 days agoMITView on GitHub
Make a task deeper, not bigger, then rewrite the prompt. Use for /sharpen.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 1 is common, 0 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
1
Common
Most of the 21 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific
- Common: line 17
Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 21 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
Portable adaptation of Lauren Tan's pstack v0.15.30. Use available host capabilities and the fallbacks in PORTABILITY.md; do not claim unavailable tools, subagents, or runtime evidence.
I want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it, do four things:
- Say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for.
- Name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me.
- Name the specific methods and tools they would use.
- Say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right.
Then rewrite my prompt to ask for exactly that.
Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.

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.
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.

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.
