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
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 17 edited versions we read keep these.
0
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 14
Read the contract: Read ${SKILL_DIR}/resources/KNACK.md so the manifest is valid and you record its reads/writes and external-input …
- Very specific: line 30
Apply & check: Create knacks/<id>.md and any new <skills-dir>/<name>/SKILL.md (never overwrite a skill the user chose to reuse).
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 17 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
/knacks:create: scaffold a knack
Turn "you should be able to do X" into a conforming knack: a manifest at knacks/<id>.md
that groups one or more skills (new or existing) and may compose other knacks.
Steps
- Read the contract. Read
${SKILL_DIR}/resources/KNACK.mdso the manifest is valid and you record itsreads/writesandexternal-inputaccurately. - Get the id + summary from
$ARGUMENTS(/knacks:create <id> "<summary>"), else ask.idmust be kebab-case and unique; checkknacks/*.mdfor a clash. - Interview for the contract (one short question per unknown):
trigger: manual / auto / scheduled / event?skills: which skills implement it? List existing ones under<skills-dir>to reuse, and/or name new ones to scaffold. At least one, unless it's purely composed of other knacks.composes: does it build on existing knacks? Offer the ids fromknacks/*.md;[]if none. Reject a cycle: if composing an entry would (transitively) loop back to this knack, refuse and say so.reads/writes: this knack's own reads/writes (file globs, or sentinels:github:read/slack:readforreads,github:write/slack:writeforwrites).external-input: reads external data (read-only) or not (none)?
- Render the manifest and any new skill stubs from the templates below and show them in full.
Include the injection-boundary clause when effective
external-inputisread-onlyand it writes any durable file. Fortrigger: manual, each new entry skill setsdisable-model-invocation: true. - Apply & check. Create
knacks/<id>.mdand any new<skills-dir>/<name>/SKILL.md(never overwrite a skill the user chose to reuse). Run the/knacks:validatechecks and report PASS/WARN/FAIL.

<What this capability is, and, if it composes other knacks, how it builds on them.>
## Rules
- <Name what this knack writes, and any care it takes before writing (e.g. propose a diff first). Whether
a write is gated or auto-applied is the consuming project's call, not this manifest.>

<What this skill reads, then does/writes: a subset of the owning knack's reads/writes. Keep it
concise and lead with what matters.>Does it work?

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.
