Before designing a feature, research how comparable libraries solve the problem, check best practices, known pitfalls, and upstream changes. Use when starting a new feature, investigating an unfamiliar area, or the user asks to research something.

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
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 20 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

When starting a new project (new memories → new links)
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 20 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
Brain rebuild
Rebuilds the memory knowledge graph: generates memory/graph.json, memory/brain.html (interactive mind map) and updates the ## Related (auto) section in each memory .md file.
Usage
node skills/brain/build-graph.mjsThe script resolves the memory directory as: env MEMORY_DIR → <repo>/memory (relative to the script itself). Portable: runs in any clone with zero config.
What it does
- Reads every
*.mdin the memory directory (exceptMEMORY.md,_template.md) - Computes weighted edges from: explicit links (
[[wikilinks]]and markdown links), shared filename prefix, shared tags, same type, keyword overlap (TF-IDF cosine) - Normalizes weights to [0, 1], discards < 0.25
- Writes
memory/graph.json - Patches
## Related (auto)(top-3 neighbors) into each memory file — idempotent - Generates
memory/brain.html— open in a browser, works fully offline
Expected output
Found 50 memory files
Computed 312 edges (raw: 1225)
graph.json: 50 nodes, 312 edges, avg 0.41

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.
