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. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
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 for duplicate detection, links, or orphan statistics.
≈ “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.
Files
Dewey — Classifier
Assigns taxonomy level (L1-L6) to each document, enforces required documents per project level.
Document Hierarchy (L1–L6)
| Level | Type | Examples |
| L1 | Contracts | contracts/openapi/*.yaml, contracts/asyncapi/*.yaml |
| L2 | Product Canon | docs/VISION.md, docs/PRD.md, docs/ROADMAP.md, docs/FEATURES.md |
| L3 | Engineering Canon | docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, docs/ADR/, docs/SAGA/, docs/TEST_CASES.md |
| L4 | Derived | docs/REFERENCE.md, docs/DEV_GUIDE.md, docs/STATUS.md |
| L5 | Artifacts | Generated files (API docs, changelogs, diagrams) |
| L6 | Auxiliary | README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, LICENSE, templates |
What it does
- Classifies every document by type and level
- Determines project maturity level (L1-L3 based on required docs present)
- Validates required documents exist for detected level
Usage
# Via Chronos orchestrator
chronos --path . --preset standard
# Direct invocation
python -m chronos.agents.dewey --path .Output Format
[warning] missing: Required L2 document missing — docs/ROADMAP.md
[info] classified: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md → L3 Engineering Canon
[info] project_level: L2 (Product Canon) — 3/4 required docs presentRequired Documents per Level
| Level | Required |
| L1 | At least 1 contract file (OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/JSON Schema) |
| L2 | VISION.md, PRD.md, ROADMAP.md |
| L3 | ARCHITECTURE.md, ADR/ directory |

Boundaries

Procedure and output contract
Classify by normalized repository-relative path, report the matched rule, and show the detected maturity level before checking required documents. Required-document findings are warnings until the project declares a stricter policy. Unknown files must be reported as unknown rather than forced into a taxonomy level.
Verification
A useful report includes every document's classification, the rule or pattern that matched it, required documents considered, and a deterministic summary. Review false positives for custom repository layouts before creating files.
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.

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.
