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. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
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
- Distinctive: line 32
Use the Notion MCP tools to create a new page and return the URL of the new page.
- Distinctive: line 35
Use callouts for key concepts or definitions, important edge cases, etc.
≈ “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.

Explain Diff
Please make me a rich, interactive explanation of the specified code change as a Notion page.
It should have these sections:
- Background: Explain the existing system relevant to this change. (You should broadly explore surrounding code for this.) We don't know how much the reader already knows, so include a deep background for beginners (note that it can be skipped if the reader is already familiar), and then a more narrow background directly relevant to the change.
- Intuition: Explain the core intuition for the code change. The focus here is to explain the essence, not the full details. Use concrete examples with toy data. Use figures and diagrams liberally.
- Code: Do a high-level walkthrough of the changes to the code. Group/order the changes in an understandable way.
- Quiz: Come up with 5 questions that test the reader's knowledge of this PR. This should be medium difficulty, difficult enough that you actually need to understand the substance of the PR to answer them, but not gotchas. The goal is to help the reader make sure that they've actually understood. Each question should have some multiple choice answers with an explanation detailing why an answer is correct or incorrect. Use toggle blocks to represent this. For example:
1. Question ▶ Option 1 ❌ Explanation for why it was incorrect ▶ Option 2 ❌ Explanation for why it was incorrect ▶ Option 3 ✅ Explanation for why it was correct ▶ Option 4 ❌ Explanation for why it was incorrect 2. Question ...
Format:
- Use the Notion MCP tools to create a new page and return the URL of the new page.
- Please write with the clarity and flow of Martin Kleppmann, making it engaging and written in classic style. Transitions between sections should be smooth.
- Some tips on diagrams. Ideally, you should pick a small number of diagram families that can be reused throughout the explanation to explain various cases. Make sure to include example data!
- Use callouts for key concepts or definitions, important edge cases, etc.

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.
