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 23 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 21
If any answer is NO, stop scoring voice.
- Distinctive: line 41
Before/after for those three
- Distinctive: line 43
READ-ONLY. Do not edit the draft.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 23 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.

Developmental edit. Structure and argument first. Do not polish a broken piece.
Triage
Answer YES/NO:
- Thesis clear? State it in one sentence or say why it is unclear.
- Structure sound? Name the break if the arc fails.
- Argument complete? Name gaps, missing evidence, unsupported leaps.
If any answer is NO, stop scoring voice. Send the writer back to Outline or Draft.
If triage passes, score 1–5
- Opening — concrete moment vs abstract thesis
- Structure — one argument that builds and closes
- Natural voice — one person, one sitting; flag AI tells
- Rigor — claims have evidence
- Teach test — one sentence the reader can steal
- Accessibility — specialist words explained
- Flow — continuous argument vs bolted sections
A 3 is average. A 5 is publishable. Be honest.
Output
Triage, overall /35, one line per axis, then:
- Section-by-section notes with quotes
- Top 3 issues (structural before prose)
- Before/after for those three
READ-ONLY. Do not edit the draft. The writer decides.

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.
