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
  1. Distinctive:

    Never summarize algorithm logic: If-else branches, function bodies, schemas must remain verbatim

    line 42
  2. Distinctive:

    Validate pseudo-code: Check bracket matching, variable consistency, structural completeness

    line 46

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Skill Simplify

Three-phase pipeline: analyze functional inventory, apply optimization rules, verify integrity.

Phase Reference Documents (read on-demand):

PhaseDocumentPurpose
1phases/01-analysis.mdExtract functional inventory, identify redundancy, validate pseudo-code format
2phases/02-optimize.mdApply simplification rules, fix format issues
3phases/03-check.mdVerify 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').length

TodoWrite 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

  1. Preserve ALL functional elements: Code blocks with logic, agent calls, data structures, routing, error handling, input/output specs
  2. Only reduce descriptive content: Flowcharts, verbose comments, duplicate sections, examples that repeat logic
  3. Never summarize algorithm logic: If-else branches, function bodies, schemas must remain verbatim
  4. Classify code blocks: Distinguish functional (logic, routing, schemas) from descriptive (ASCII art, examples, display templates) — only descriptive blocks may be deleted
  5. Merge equivalent variants: Single/multi-perspective templates differing only by a parameter → one template with variant comment
  6. 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
  7. Validate pseudo-code: Check bracket matching, variable consistency, structural completeness
  8. Quantitative verification: Phase 3 counts must match Phase 1 counts for functional categories; descriptive block decreases are expected

Error Handling

ErrorResolution
Target file not foundReport 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 foundReport 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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
