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, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 42
Never summarize algorithm logic: If-else branches, function bodies, schemas must remain verbatim
- Distinctive: line 46
Validate pseudo-code: Check bracket matching, variable consistency, structural completeness
≈ “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
Skill Simplify
Three-phase pipeline: analyze functional inventory, apply optimization rules, verify integrity.
Phase Reference Documents (read on-demand):
| Phase | Document | Purpose |
| 1 | phases/01-analysis.md | Extract functional inventory, identify redundancy, validate pseudo-code format |
| 2 | phases/02-optimize.md | Apply simplification rules, fix format issues |
| 3 | phases/03-check.md | Verify functional integrity, validate format |
Input Processing
const targetPath = input.trim()
const targetFile = targetPath.endsWith('.md') ? targetPath : `${targetPath}/SKILL.md`
const originalContent = Read(targetFile)
const originalLineCount = originalContent.split('\n').lengthTodoWrite Pattern
TodoWrite({ todos: [
{ content: `Phase 1: Analyzing ${targetFile}`, status: "in_progress", activeForm: "Extracting functional inventory" },
{ content: "Phase 2: Optimize", status: "pending" },
{ content: "Phase 3: Integrity Check", status: "pending" }
]})Core Rules
- Preserve ALL functional elements: Code blocks with logic, agent calls, data structures, routing, error handling, input/output specs
- Only reduce descriptive content: Flowcharts, verbose comments, duplicate sections, examples that repeat logic
- Never summarize algorithm logic: If-else branches, function bodies, schemas must remain verbatim
- Classify code blocks: Distinguish
functional(logic, routing, schemas) fromdescriptive(ASCII art, examples, display templates) — only descriptive blocks may be deleted - Merge equivalent variants: Single/multi-perspective templates differing only by a parameter → one template with variant comment
- Fix format issues: Nested backtick template literals in code fences → convert to prose; hardcoded option lists → flag for dynamic generation; workflow handoff references → ensure execution steps present
- Validate pseudo-code: Check bracket matching, variable consistency, structural completeness
- Quantitative verification: Phase 3 counts must match Phase 1 counts for functional categories; descriptive block decreases are expected
Error Handling
| Error | Resolution |
| Target file not found | Report error, stop |
| Check FAIL (missing functional elements) | Show delta, revert to original, report which elements lost |
| Check WARN (descriptive decrease or merge) | Show delta with justification |
| Format issues found | Report in check, fix in Phase 2 |
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.
