auto-research
Skill0 starsChanged 55 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Autonomous skill optimization system that iteratively improves Claude Code skills by running binary eval suites, mutating instruction bodies via Opus, scoring variants against baselines, and promoting winners. Use this skill when the user says "auto-research", "optimize skill", "improve skill", "run skill optimization", "sweep skills", "optimize my skills", "self-improve", or wants to run the auto-research optimization loop. Also trigger on "/auto-research" with any arguments.

transitive-bullshitSkillcompare-screenshots
Compare screenshots against the intended design, distinguishing approved references from historical baselines. Use for iterative implementation matching, before/after visual review, objective image telemetry, or checking a lone capture for flat, empty, or badly framed content.

dzhngSkillmarketing-pages
Best-practice rulebook for a marketing site's pages, organized by page class — campaign landers, product pages, programmatic SEO trees, editorial. Use when writing or updating a landing/marketing page, wiring a campaign lander to an attribution identifier, changing site-wide nav/footer links, touching sitemap/robots/agent-readable surfaces, or auditing a public site's indexing, reachability, and conversion setup.

dzhngSkillclose-spec
When a spec under specs/<feature>/ is done shipping (a write-spec build, or any planned task that produced a spec), archive it to specs/done/ and rewrite it from a build-plan into a durable rationale — the why, the principles, the invariants — pointing back to the real code for the how. Use when implementation has landed and the plan no longer matches what shipped, or the user says a feature/spec is finished. Pairs with [write-spec](../write-spec/SKILL.md) (the plan this closes) and [review](../review/SKILL.md) (run before closing).

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
11 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 9 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 10 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
9
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 10 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.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
