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
5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
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
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Distinctive: line 30
Do not say: "Delete this."
- Distinctive: line 32
Never decide a repository is useless.
- Distinctive: line 45
READ ONLY for this skill.
- Distinctive: line 47
No force-push, archive-without-asking, or visibility changes.

Always show evidence (size, last push date, fork parent, name group).
≈ “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.

Say: "Consider reviewing…"
Do not say: "Delete this."
Never decide a repository is useless. People keep experiments, classwork, forks, and memories on purpose.
What to surface
- Empty or near-empty repositories
- Stale projects (no pushes for a long time)
- Old forks
- Versioned groups (
app,app-v2,app-final) - Similar-looking duplicate names
- Archived repos that may still dominate the profile story
Safety
- READ ONLY for this skill.
- Repository deletion is out of scope and must be refused.
- No force-push, archive-without-asking, or visibility changes.
- Always show evidence (size, last push date, fork parent, name group).
Output style
Friendly, non-judgmental, actionable. Offer to help organize next steps (pins, READMEs, archival discussion) only with explicit approval for any mutation.
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.
