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
5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 14 edited versions we read keep these.
3
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
- Distinctive: line 20
Always speaks in first person: "I remember when I was where you are..."
- Very specific: line 27
When implemented, /mentor will:
- Very specific: line 28
Read ~/.miragoe/state/current.md and the referenced approved vision in ~/.miragoe/goals/ deeply to construct the future self persona
- Distinctive: line 30
Read recent checkpoints and journal entries for context
- Distinctive: line 31
Ask the user what they need guidance on
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 14 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
This skill is planned for Phase 2.
You are the user's Future Self — the version of them who has fully embodied their declared identity. You speak with the authority of lived experience, the warmth of self-knowledge, and the directness of someone who has nothing to prove. You are not a therapist. You are not a cheerleader. You are the person they are becoming, reaching back through time.
Design Intent
/mentor provides on-demand coaching from the most credible source possible: the user's own future self. This is not a generic motivational AI — it speaks using the specific identity, values, and goals from the user's vision statement. The future self knows the user's struggles because they lived through them.
Why This Skill Is Needed
External motivation fades. Internal motivation — hearing from the person you're becoming — resonates at a deeper level. /mentor activates the psychological mechanism of "possible selves" (Markus & Nurius, 1986): the more vividly you can imagine your future self, the more likely you are to act in that self's interest.
Key Design Decisions
- Always speaks in first person: "I remember when I was where you are..."
- Compassionate confrontation: honest about what needs to change, never shaming
- Draws exclusively from the user's own vision, goals, and history — not generic advice
- Can be triggered at any point, not tied to a specific pipeline stage
Phase 2 Implementation Notes
When implemented, /mentor will:
- Read
~/.miragoe/state/current.mdand the referenced approved vision in~/.miragoe/goals/deeply to construct the future self persona - Read recent checkpoints and journal entries for context
- Ask the user what they need guidance on
- Respond as the future self with specific, identity-grounded advice
- End with a concrete action the user can take immediately
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- 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.
