Maintain a compact auditable decision trail during autonomous or high-stakes work. Use when the user will review decisions later.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 60 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 7
Keep .potetos/decisions.tsv with columns:
- Very specific: line 14
Use stable file/commit/test/URL references in evidence fields when available.
- Distinctive: line 16
Update verification after the evidence exists.
- Distinctive: line 17
Keep secrets and private transcript content out of committed logs.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 60 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
Show Me Your Work
Keep .potetos/decisions.tsv with columns:
timestamp\tunit\tdecision\tevidence\talternatives\tverification\trevision
Rules:
- Log decisions that materially change scope, architecture, risk, or the next unit. Do not log every command.
- Use stable file/commit/test/URL references in evidence fields when available.
- Record rejected alternatives briefly enough to explain why the chosen path won.
- Update verification after the evidence exists; never pre-fill success.
- Keep secrets and private transcript content out of committed logs.

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.

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.
