Skill1 starsChanged 59 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Generate genuinely non-obvious insights about a hard, open-ended question by building a reasoning matrix — systematically crossing the building blocks of a problem against a curated set of reasoning lenses, then filtering the results for novelty AND validity so what survives is both new and true. Use this whenever the user wants to think outside the box, get a helicopter view of a problem, find a fresh angle, break out of conventional framing, generate hypotheses, surface hidden structure, chain or compose one analysis into the next, attack a problem that "feels stuck," or asks for deep brainstorming, lateral thinking, or "new insights" — even if they don't say "matrix." Especially valuable when the obvious answer is already known and the user wants to get past it. Do NOT use for simple lookups, well-specified tasks with one right answer, or requests that just need a direct factual reply.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 1 is 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.
1
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.

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.
