Diagnose errors from third-party products, integrations, or SaaS by checking error text → product version/changelog → vendor docs → branded forums → product logs FIRST, before reasoning. Use this skill whenever Aaron reports an error from any external system: PandaDoc, Salesforce managed packages, Gong, Stripe, n8n, HubSpot, Sigma, an npm package, a browser extension, a vendor API, or any tool with public documentation. Trigger even if Aaron just pastes an error message without an explicit help request, describes a broken integration ('X is throwing Y', 'Z says it can't connect', 'the integration is broken'), or shares a screenshot of a vendor error UI. Trigger proactively — undertriggering wastes hours of reasoning that vendor docs would resolve in minutes. Do NOT trigger for logic bugs in code Aaron wrote himself, pure SQL/SOQL syntax questions, or open-ended design discussions where no error message exists.

Show its rules and text

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

13 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈8

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 5

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill 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.

Does it work?

What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.

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.
