The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
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

Run the script on a throwaway path.
≈ “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.
Files
Shell (router)
This id routes. Load shell-safety. Do not remint Always / Ask first / Never for bash. No scripts/.
Process skills that may load with this one: load-with list.
Iron law
shell-safety is the shell skill. Classify Always / Ask first / Never
before a command runs.
Load
shell-safety only. Then stop.
Dockerfile RUN snippets stay lang-docker first. Load shell-safety
only when the change is a real .sh / shebang script or an agent shell
command.
Combined verify (after shell-safety)
shellcheck path/to/script.shRun the script on a throwaway path. No live destructive targets.
Combined PR checklist
set -euo pipefailand quoted"$var"/"$@".- No
eval, nocurl | sh, no unquotedrm -rf $dir. ${path:?}before destructive ops on a variable path.
Never
- A second bash skill that copies konstruktoid or wshobson packs.
- PowerShell rules in this file (
lang-powershell). - Skipping classification because "it's a one-liner."
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.
