Skills are organized into bucket folders under skills/: Every skill in engineering/, productivity/, or misc/ must have a reference in the top-level README.md and an entry in .claude-plugin/plugin.json. Skills in personal/ and deprecated/ must not appear in either. Each skill entry in the top-level README.md must link the skill name to its SKILL.md. Each bucket folder has a README.md that lists every skill in the bucket with a one-line description, with the skill name linked to its SKILL.md.
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 25,680 CLAUDE.md 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.

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.
