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
3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 186 edited versions we read keep these.
3
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
Use when the user explicitly asks for TDD, test-first implementation, or a red-green workflow.
- Distinctive: line 13
Add one test for one user-visible behavior, run it, and confirm it fails for the expected reason.
- Distinctive: line 17
Do not add or run tests when this workflow was not requested.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 186 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
Test-driven development
Use when the user explicitly asks for TDD, test-first implementation, or a red-green workflow.
- Identify the public behavior and the narrowest stable interface that can observe it.
- State the behavior to test and inspect existing test conventions before editing.
- Add one test for one user-visible behavior, run it, and confirm it fails for the expected reason.
- Implement the smallest change that makes that behavior pass. Repeat for the next behavior only after the current one is green.
- Review test quality: assert outcomes rather than implementation details; mock only external boundaries; avoid tests that duplicate production logic.
Do not add or run tests when this workflow was not requested. If a requested test cannot run, report the concrete blocker and leave its result unclaimed.

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.
