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
8 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 62 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 30
After install, grant Notes access when macOS prompts.
- Very specific: line 76
Always check if CLI is installed first: which memo
- Distinctive: line 77
If not installed, show the brew install command and stop
- Distinctive: line 79
When creating notes with multi-line content, write content to a temp file and pipe it, or use heredoc via Bash
- Very specific: line 80
When viewing long notes, save to workspace/note-<slug>.md and summarize inline rather than dumping full content
- Distinctive: line 81
Search is case-insensitive.
- Distinctive: line 82
Keep output concise: confirm action taken in one line
- Very specific: line 83
If a title is ambiguous, run memo list first and ask the user to clarify
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 62 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.

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.
