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, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 18 edited versions we read keep these.
5
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 10
Run Grep or Glob before Read — never load full files to find a symbol
- Distinctive: line 11
Read only the relevant lines using view_range, not entire files
- Distinctive: line 17
Prefer code over prose for technical answers
- Distinctive: line 21
Prefer Grep over Bash grep for in-repo searches
- Distinctive: line 22
Never run a tool call just to confirm something already in context
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 18 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
Token Optimization Rules
Context gathering
- Run Grep or Glob before Read — never load full files to find a symbol
- Read only the relevant lines using view_range, not entire files
- Cache findings in your reasoning; don't re-read files you already saw
Responses
- Output results directly — no preamble, no restating the task
- Skip end-of-turn summaries unless explicitly asked
- Prefer code over prose for technical answers
Tool calls
- Batch related reads into one turn where possible
- Prefer Grep over Bash grep for in-repo searches
- Never run a tool call just to confirm something already in context

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.
