≈ “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.

Examples
Good Example
"You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in"
- Pink Floyd, "Dogs"
These lyrics from Pink Floyd demonstrate the poetic, metaphorical nature of effective songwriting. The vivid imagery and clever use of irony create a compelling narrative.
"Sam Stone was alone When he popped his last balloon Climbing walls while sitting in a chair Well, he played his last request While the room smelled just like death With an overdose hovering in the air"
- John Prine, "Sam Stone"
The lyrics from "Sam Stone" by John Prine showcase powerful storytelling, painting a vivid picture with carefully chosen words and details.
Bad Example
"I put molly all in her champagne, she ain't even know it. I went home and enjoyed that, she ain't even know it"
- Rick Ross
These lyrics demonstrate unethical, misogynistic content that should be avoided in songwriting.
"You're so ganster, I'm so thug Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you This is not a drive by Just a shy guy, looking for a two-ply Hefty bag To hold my love"
- Train, "Hey Soul Sister"
The lyrics from Train's "Hey Soul Sister" show cringeworthy, nonsensical writing that fails to connect with the listener.
