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
3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 175 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
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 10
Use for failures, flakes, wrong outputs, crashes, and regressions.
- Distinctive: line 13
Do not jump to a fix before reproduction/localization when the bug is unclear.
- Distinctive: line 14
Do not treat “run all tests” as debugging by default.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 175 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.

When to use
Use for failures, flakes, wrong outputs, crashes, and regressions.
Non-goals
- Do not jump to a fix before reproduction/localization when the bug is unclear.
- Do not treat “run all tests” as debugging by default.
Workflow
- Reproduce or gather the strongest available failure signal.
- Minimize the case.
- Localize to component/file/line.
- State root cause vs symptoms.
- Fix only when authorized; otherwise hand back a diagnosis with evidence.
Output shape
- Symptom
- Reproduction
- Localization
- Root cause
- Fix status / next step

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.
