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
4 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 5 edited versions we read keep these.
4
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
- Distinctive: line 25
Search for candidates with current-year queries
- Distinctive: line 32
Search for tutorials and examples
- Distinctive: line 37
Search exact error message
- Distinctive: line 52
Always note when information is incomplete
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 5 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.

web-researcher
Deep web research and information synthesis skill. Combines Context7, WebSearch, and WebFetch to investigate technical topics, compare options, and produce cited research reports.
When to Use
- Technical research (libraries, frameworks, APIs)
- Best practices and patterns investigation
- Market research and comparison
- Current information beyond training data
- Documentation and tutorial lookup
Available Tools
| Tool | Best For |
| Context7 | Library/framework documentation (React, Next.js, Node.js, Python libs) |
| WebSearch | Current events, comparisons, general research |
| WebFetch | Reading specific URLs, deep content extraction |
Common Research Patterns
Library Selection
- Identify requirements and constraints
- Search for candidates with current-year queries
- Query Context7 for top candidates' documentation
- Compare: features, maintenance, community size
- Provide recommendation with rationale
Implementation Research
- Query Context7 for official documentation
- Search for tutorials and examples
- Find common patterns and anti-patterns
- Synthesize practical guidance
Troubleshooting Research
- Search exact error message
- Find Stack Overflow and GitHub Issues
- Identify root causes and solutions
- Provide step-by-step fix
Supplementary Files
examples/sample-research.md— Example research output demonstrating the report formatreferences/search-queries.md— Query templates organized by research type (technical, troubleshooting, comparison)
Limitations
- Cannot access paywalled content
- Some sites may block automated access
- Very recent events may have limited sources
- Always note when information is incomplete
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
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.
