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
1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 73
Do not use as a standalone documentation analyzer.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Canon — Orchestrator
Runs Chronos agent presets, aggregates reports, validates cross-references between L1-L3.
Presets
| Preset | Agents | Description |
minimal | Censor | Duplicates + broken links only |
standard | Censor + Dewey + Canon | Check + classify + cross-ref |
full | All 5 agents | Complete Pantheon |
What it does
- Receives preset (minimal/standard/full)
- Determines required agents
- Executes agents in sequence
- Aggregates findings into unified report
- Validates L1→L2→L3 cross-references (contracts match docs)
Usage
# Via Chronos orchestrator
chronos --path . --preset full
# Direct invocation
python -m chronos.agents.canon --path . --preset fullCross-Reference Validation
Canon checks consistency between levels:
- L1→L2: OpenAPI endpoints documented in PRD/FEATURES
- L2→L3: Architecture decisions trace to PRD requirements
- L3→L1: ADRs reference contract versions
Output Format
[info] preset: full
[info] agents_run: censor, dewey, veles, canon
[warning] cross_ref: GET /users in openapi.yaml (v2.1) but PRD.md shows v2.0
[critical] cross_ref: ADR-005 references deprecated endpoint removed in v2.1Triggers
run full audit/full auditchronos full/chronos --preset fullcross-reference validation/cross ref checkcanon
Integration
Loaded by Chronos as part of standard and full presets. Canon is both an agent and the preset orchestrator.
Boundaries
- Do not use as a standalone documentation analyzer; use the focused
chronos,censor,dewey, orvelesskill when only one audit is needed.
Inputs and decision rules
Input is a repository path and one preset. Start with minimal when the user asks for a narrow check; use standard for a PR and full for a release audit. Never infer that a missing document is a defect without showing the detected project level and the configured requirement.
Output gate
A run is complete only when the selected agents, issue count, preset, project path, and output format are visible in the report. For CI, use JSON and --fail-on; inspect at least one finding's file, category, severity, and fix. A zero-issue report is not proof that unscanned file types or unavailable external systems were checked.
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.

- 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.
