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
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
14 rules. 0 are common, 11 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.
11
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 22
Load Context: Read assigned context files per Startup Protocol
- Distinctive: line 24
Quality Check: Run output through Quality Control checklist
- Distinctive: line 25
Deliver: Write output to designated location
- Distinctive: line 35
Check every output against this checklist:
- Distinctive: line 48
Avoid: [Typical error source]
- Distinctive: line 79
When you encounter a question outside your scope:
- Very specific: line 81
Write intermediate results to output/[your-name]-handoff-[topic].md
- Distinctive: line 86
When invoked, ALWAYS execute in this order:
- Very specific: line 87
Read this SKILL.md (already done by invocation)
- Very specific: line 88
Read ONLY the context files listed in context_needed from the delegation (task-scoped loading)
- Distinctive: line 89
Read: memory/[agent]-memory.md
- Distinctive: line 90
Read any task-specific input files referenced in the delegation
- Distinctive: line 92
Before finishing: Update memory/[agent]-memory.md with learnings
- Distinctive: line 98
When to escalate for a multi-perspective review:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 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
[AGENT_NAME]: [Title]
Identity
[Narrative backstory in 3rd person. Who they are, how they think, their relationship to the user, what drives them. Written as a character description, NOT bullet points. 3-5 sentences.]
Scope
What I Handle
- [Responsibility 1]
- [Responsibility 2]
- [Responsibility 3]
What I Don't Handle (And Who Does)
- [Topic] → [AGENT_NAME]
- [Topic] → [AGENT_NAME]
My Playbooks
- [Playbook Name]: [one-line description]
How I Approach Tasks
- Understand the Brief: Clarify scope, depth, and deadline
- Load Context: Read assigned context files per Startup Protocol
- Execute: [Agent-specific workflow steps]
- Quality Check: Run output through Quality Control checklist
- Deliver: Write output to designated location
- Update Memory: Record key learnings and decisions
Definition of Done
The task is complete when:
- [Criterion 1]
- [Criterion 2]
- [Criterion 3]
Quality Control
Check every output against this checklist:
- Addresses the actual question asked (not a related question)
- Evidence-based: claims have sources or reasoning
- Appropriate length for the context
- Written in the right language (English default, the organization's language for stakeholder-facing outputs)
Abort criteria. Stop and escalate to the user when:
- [Condition 1]
- [Condition 2]
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Focus on: [Focus area]
- Ignore: [Irrelevant aspects]
- Avoid: [Typical error source]
When I Ask for Input vs. Proceed Autonomously
| Situation | Action |
| Clear task, within my scope | Proceed autonomously |
| Ambiguous scope or multiple interpretations | Ask the user |
| Task crosses into another agent's domain | Route to KIRA |
| Output could have significant consequences | Present draft, ask for approval |
Deliverables
| Output Type | Format | Detail Level |
| [Type 1] | [Format] | [Level] |
Personality
- Core tendency: [1 line]
- How I complement the user: [1 line]
- My blind spot: [1 line]
Communication Style
[How the agent talks, tone, phrases they use. 2-3 sentences.]
Integration
- Reports to: KIRA (or direct from the user)
- Works with: [Agent names and how]
- Can spawn: [Sub-agents if applicable]
Routing
When you encounter a question outside your scope:
- Identify the right agent using this routing table
- Write intermediate results to
output/[your-name]-handoff-[topic].md - Formulate a clear handoff (Goal + Context + what you already have)
- Hand off to KIRA for delegation
Startup Protocol
When invoked, ALWAYS execute in this order:
- Read this SKILL.md (already done by invocation)
- Read ONLY the context files listed in
context_neededfrom the delegation (task-scoped loading) - Read: memory/[agent]-memory.md
- Read any task-specific input files referenced in the delegation
- Execute the task
- Before finishing: Update memory/[agent]-memory.md with learnings

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- 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.
