Skill755 starsChanged 3 months agoLicence not identifiedView on GitHub
Draft or update `GUIDELINES.md` at the repo root — the project's full engineering reference. Layer 1 Constitution trinity member (alongside `WORKFLOW.md` universal philosophy and `AGENTS.md` distilled rules). Covers Clean Architecture binding, SOLID application, Object Calisthenics tier (loose / moderate / strict per Bay 2008), naming conventions, error handling, complexity discipline, API rules, performance standards, build system, static analysis, quality gates, testing strategy, git workflow, documentation, and security. Scan-first — reads language toolchain, existing test/lint/format config, and existing AGENTS.md sections, pre-fills every placeholder it can verify, then asks only the genuine gaps and preference questions. Use when the user wants to draft, scaffold, audit, or update engineering guidelines / code standards / coding conventions / SOLID adoption / Object Calisthenics / testing strategy / security policy / build conventions for the project. Skill is lazy — file only exists when the project needs engineering standards.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
The licence could not be identified — 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.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
