summarizing-friction-logs
Skill2 starsChanged 21 days agoMITView on GitHub
Aggregates frog friction logs across every repository in a workspace plus the global log into one prioritized dashboard. Use when the user says "show the friction dashboard", or when asked for the friction dashboard, all known friction or papercuts across repos, to list friction logs, or to decide which friction to fix first.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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 13
Read-only: Never run frog resolve or frog publish, never edit entries, and never install frog.
- Distinctive: line 36
Exit 2: no log could be read. Report each stderr line and stop.
≈ “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
Summarizing friction logs
Collect every frog friction entry in a workspace into one read-only dashboard, so known friction can be prioritized in a single view.
Rules
- Read-only. Never run
frog resolveorfrog publish, never edit entries, and never install frog. pendingmatters most. Apendingentry is filed nowhere else, so it is invisible outside this dashboard; alinkedone already has an issue.
Collect
The workspace is the directory that holds the user's repositories. Resolve
<skill-dir> to this skill's absolute directory and run, adding
--workspace <dir> when the user names one:
node "<skill-dir>/scripts/collect-friction.mjs" [--workspace <dir>]It prints JSON with the rendered header, table, and footer, and the
gist_slots to fill.
- Exit 0: build the dashboard below.
- Exit 1: report stderr and stop. When it says
not in a git repository, ask the user once for the workspace and rerun with--workspace. When it says no friction log was found, name the workspace and suggest pointing the skill at the one that holds the logs. - Exit 2: no log could be read. Report each stderr line and stop.
Dashboard
One Markdown dashboard, in this order:
- Header:
header, verbatim. - Table:
table, verbatim. - Detail: one entry per
gist_slotsitem, in that order, grouped under a heading per scope. Read the slot'spathand distill its body into a one-line gist: what got in the way, plus the suggested fix when it names one. Gists stay with the model because they summarize prose. - Footer:
footer, verbatim, when non-empty.
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.
- 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.
