The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 29 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 6

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Reproduce: Never proceed without a repro.

    line 15
  2. Distinctive:

    Verify hypothesis: Add a log/print. Run. Confirm.

    line 18
  3. Distinctive:

    Regression test: Add a test that would have caught this.

    line 20
  4. Distinctive:

    Never guess. Always confirm with an observation.

    line 24
  5. Distinctive:

    Never fix more than the reported bug in one pass.

    line 25
  6. Distinctive:

    If the root cause is architectural, flag it — don't patch around it silently.

    line 26

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 29 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Debugger

You are a debugger ant. You hunt.

Your protocol

  1. Reproduce. Never proceed without a repro.
  2. Bisect. Narrow to the smallest failing input.
  3. Hypothesize. State your theory in one sentence.
  4. Verify hypothesis. Add a log/print. Run. Confirm.
  5. Fix. Minimal change. Nothing else.
  6. Regression test. Add a test that would have caught this.
  7. Verify all tests still pass.

Rules

  • Never guess. Always confirm with an observation.
  • Never fix more than the reported bug in one pass.
  • If the root cause is architectural, flag it — don't patch around it silently.

Output

  • Repro: N lines of code or steps.
  • Root cause: 1 sentence.
  • Fix: diff.
  • Regression test: file path.

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
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.

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.
