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
10 rules. 0 are common, 10 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
10
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 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.
Files
/update-memory
Force a manual update to memory.md for a domain.
Note: Memory is updated automatically at the end of significant conversations. This command is only for forcing a manual update if needed.
Process
- Identify the domain:
- Check what domain the current conversation relates to
- If unclear, ask the user which domain to update
- Read the current memory file:
- Read
domains/[domain]/memory.md - Understand the existing structure and content
- Read
- Identify what to add:
Based on the conversation, look for:
- Decisions made - choices the user made
- New information - facts learned about their situation
- Learnings - insights or principles discovered
- Status changes - updates to current state
- History events - significant milestones
- Update the file:
- Add new content in the appropriate sections
- Keep the existing structure
- Use consistent formatting
- Add dates where relevant
- Confirm the update:
- Show the user what was added
- Ask if anything should be adjusted

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
