Skill6 starsChanged 3 months agoMITView on GitHub
DEPRECATED meta-skill. Routes to the four focused repository skills that replaced it: repo-readme-assets (README + animated SVG header/footer), repo-community-files (LICENSE/CODE_OF_CONDUCT/CONTRIBUTING/SECURITY/SUPPORT/templates), repo-metadata-health (description/topics/GitHub Pages/community health/audit), repo-social-preview (og:image PNG). Load one of the four directly instead. Triggers: 'github hygiene', 'repo polish', 'github repo docs', 'оформить репозиторий', 'репозиторий готов к публикации'.

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, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 34
Keep this router for one release cycle for backward compatibility (global AGENTS.md rules may still reference github-repo-hygiene), then …
- Very specific: line 39
Do not use this deprecated router when a focused repo-* skill is applicable.
≈ “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
GitHub Repo Hygiene — DEPRECATED (router)
This skill is deprecated. It was split into four focused skills. Do not run workflows from this file — load the matching sub-skill directly.
Routing table
| Need | Load this skill instead |
| README (EN + localized mirror) + animated SVG header/footer | repo-readme-assets |
| LICENSE, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, CONTRIBUTING, SECURITY, SUPPORT, issue/PR templates, FUNDING | repo-community-files |
| description, topics, GitHub Pages link, community-health audit, 16-point checklist | repo-metadata-health |
| social preview (og:image) PNG 1280×640 | repo-social-preview |
The old scripts/references were moved into the four new skills:
generate_assets.py,validate_svg.py,extract_context.py+ svg references →repo-readme-assetsvalidate_repo.py+community-checklist.md+repo-hygiene.ymlexample →repo-metadata-healthgenerate_social_preview.py+social-preview.md→repo-social-preview
Removal plan
Keep this router for one release cycle for backward compatibility (global AGENTS.md
rules may still reference github-repo-hygiene), then delete the folder.
Boundaries
- Do not use this deprecated router when a focused
repo-*skill is applicable.
Router procedure
This skill performs no repository edits. First identify whether the request concerns README assets, community/legal files, GitHub metadata, or the social preview. Load exactly the focused skill from the routing table and carry its verification gate into the final report.
Verification
The router's output must name the selected sub-skill and explain why the other three were not selected. If the request spans areas, compose the focused skills explicitly instead of reviving the deprecated monolithic workflow.

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.
