Skills are organized into bucket folders under skills/: Every skill in engineering/, productivity/, or misc/ must have a reference in the top-level README.md and an entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. Skills in personal/, in-progress/, and deprecated/ must not appear in either. Each skill entry in the top-level README.md must link the skill name to its SKILL.md. Each bucket folder has a README.md that lists every skill in the bucket with a one-line description, with the skill name linked to its SKILL.md. Bucket…

The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Skills are organized into bucket folders under skills/:

Every skill in engineering/, productivity/, or misc/ must have a reference in the top-level README.md and an entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. Skills in personal/, in-progress/, and deprecated/ must not appear in either.
Each skill entry in the top-level README.md must link the skill name to its SKILL.md.
Each bucket folder has a README.md that lists every skill in the bucket with a one-line description, with the skill name linked to its SKILL.md. Bucket README.mds and the top-level README.md group entries into User-invoked and Model-invoked.
Every SKILL.md is either user-invoked (disable-model-invocation: true, reachable only by the human) or model-invoked (model- or user-reachable). For the full definitions, description conventions, and why a user-invoked skill can invoke model-invoked skills but never another user-invoked one, see docs/invocation.md.
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.
