Classify an action by reversibility and blast radius before executing it, then require a gate proportional to what cannot be undone — preview the exact targets, assert the expected count, take a restore point, and write the undo plan before the action, not after. Use before any destructive, bulk, or outward-facing operation: rm/DROP/TRUNCATE/DELETE without a tested WHERE, mass find-and-replace, force-push or history rewrite, migrations, `terraform apply`, prod deploys, package publishes, sending email or messages, posting to an external service, revoking credentials, or deleting anything whose purpose is unclear. Trigger on "delete all", "clean up", "bulk update", "wipe", "reset", "migrate", "publish", "send it", "just remove", or a script whose blast radius is a wildcard. Also trigger when an autonomous agent is about to take an action with side effects. Pairs with git-discipline (restore points for repos) and software-archaeology (never delete what you cannot explain).

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈7
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
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.

- 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.
