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
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 46
Add under Boundaries or a new Preferences section: - Prefer Rust for new projects
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 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.

Vodou Soul - Who You Are
Overview
SOUL.md defines who the AI is: core truths, boundaries, vibe, continuity. It's injected every turn as part of workspace bootstrap.
Quick Commands
View SOUL (and full context):
./do context --base-onlySOUL.md is included in the workspace bootstrap output.
Edit SOUL directly:
# SOUL lives in workspace root
# ~/.vodou/workspace/SOUL.md or ./.vodou/workspace/SOUL.mdUpdating Preferences
To add a preference like "prefer Rust":
- Open SOUL.md in your workspace
- Add under Boundaries or a new Preferences section:
- Prefer Rust for new projects - Or append to MEMORY.md:
- [Preference] User prefers Rust
Stopping Point
What would you like to do?
- Show SOUL content — Run
./do context --base-only, extract SOUL section - Add a preference — Guide user to edit SOUL.md or MEMORY.md
- Bootstrap workspace — Run
./do bootstrapif SOUL.md doesn't exist yet
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- 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.
