All anysearch tools use the ans_* prefix. Host agents may add their own namespace prefix (for example mcp_anysearch_search_web). The hook code matches any tool name that contains ans_ followed by a known tool name. If the anysearch server is down, continue without the memory features. Errors are written to stderr, and the tool returns an empty result.

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
7 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
7
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 18
If recall_memory already has results that answer the question, skip the extra search.
- Distinctive: line 22
Do NOT call search_web again when recall_memory results already answer the question.
- Distinctive: line 23
Do NOT call ans_chat for a simple fact lookup (use search_web instead)
- Distinctive: line 24
Do NOT call research_web for a one-step question (use search_web instead)
- Distinctive: line 25
Do NOT ignore recall_memory results when they exist
- Distinctive: line 29
All anysearch tools use the ans_* prefix.
- Distinctive: line 35
If the anysearch server is down, continue without the memory features.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 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.

Anysearch skill
Tools
- search_web: search the web now, across several sources at once.
- research_web: deep research. Runs for minutes and follows several steps.
- recall_memory: look through earlier research results stored in local memory (FTS5 keyword search). Older results slowly lose weight.
- query_knowledge: search the organization's own knowledge base.
- ans_chat: an agent loop (PiAgentRuntime) for questions that need several tools.
Decision tree
- Current events or a fact to look up -> search_web
- Research that needs several steps and a written answer -> research_web
- Recall earlier research results from memory -> recall_memory
- Organization's own knowledge base -> query_knowledge
- Research that needs several tools in a row -> ans_chat
- If recall_memory already has results that answer the question, skip the extra search. Search again when those results are incomplete, out of date, or the user asks for the latest.
Anti-patterns
- Do NOT call search_web again when recall_memory results already answer the question. Search again when those results are incomplete, out of date, or the user asks for the latest.
- Do NOT call ans_chat for a simple fact lookup (use search_web instead)
- Do NOT call research_web for a one-step question (use search_web instead)
- Do NOT ignore recall_memory results when they exist
Namespace conventions
All anysearch tools use the ans_* prefix. Host agents may add their own namespace prefix (for example mcp__anysearch__search_web). The hook code matches any tool name that contains ans_ followed by a known tool name.
Fail-open
If the anysearch server is down, continue without the memory features. Errors are written to stderr, and the tool returns an empty result.
Does it work?

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.
