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.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Genie Hacks
Browse real-world Genie patterns contributed by the community: search by problem, explore by category, or contribute your own. No subcommand means list.
Data
- Registry: read
references/catalog.md(relative to this skill directory) before answering any list, search, show or help request. It holds every hack (problem, solution, code, benefit, when to use) and the category table. Never invent a hack that is not in it. - Contribute mechanics: read
references/contributing.mdwhen runningcontribute; it has the exact fork, branch and PR commands and the offline fallback. - Published page: https://docs.automagik.dev/genie/hacks (source
genie/hacks.mdxin automagik-dev/docs).
Commands
| Command | Behavior |
list | Table of all hacks (ID, title, category), then the count and a contribute nudge. |
search <keyword> | Case-insensitive match over title, problem, solution and code; per match show ID, title, category and a problem snippet. No matches: suggest broader terms or list. |
show <hack-id> | Full entry. Unknown ID: suggest the closest IDs. |
help <problem> | The top three relevant hacks with a one-line why and a quick tip each; prefer a loose match to "no matches". |
contribute | Guided submission that opens a PR to automagik-dev/docs. |
Keep output concise: tables for list, the full format only for show.
Contribute
- Gather title, problem, solution with code, category (one from the catalog's table), benefit and when-to-use, one question at a time.
- Preview the hack in the catalog template and confirm: yes submits, edit re-prompts that field, cancel aborts.
- Submit only after the confirmed preview, following
references/contributing.md: preflight GitHub access, fork or use the GitHub connector, branchhack/<slug>, append under the category heading ingenie/hacks.mdx, commithack: <title>, open the PR againstdev, nevermain. - Report the PR URL and what happens next.
If gh is missing or unauthenticated, or any GitHub step fails, save the formatted hack to ~/.genie/cache/pending-hacks/<hack-id>.md and relay the manual steps; never lose the write-up.
Rules
- Hack IDs are lowercase kebab-case and unique; check existing IDs first.
- Hacks are realistic and tested, never aspirational.
- Catalog code uses the live v5 CLI (
genie --helpis the source of truth); v4-era entries carry a note with the live replacement. - Community discussion: https://discord.gg/automagik

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.
