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 CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 22
No build step — skills are static markdown.
- Very specific: line 30
Every skill follows this pattern in its SKILL.md:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
What This Is
A Claude Code plugin providing guided analysis skills for Option Omega backtests and options trading portfolios. Requires the TradeBlocks MCP server to be running separately. Distributed via the Agent Skills marketplace.
Architecture
.claude-plugin/ Plugin metadata (plugin.json, marketplace.json)
skills/ 8 skill directories, each with SKILL.md + references/Skills are workflow choreographers, not implementations. Each SKILL.md describes a multi-step analysis workflow that invokes MCP tools in sequence. The actual logic lives in the TradeBlocks MCP server (50+ tools for trade queries, simulations, and analysis), which users install separately.
Reference files are interpretation guides. Each references/*.md explains how to read analysis results — thresholds, tables, domain-specific nuance. Skills link to them contextually, not as prerequisites.
Setup
No build step — skills are static markdown. The TradeBlocks MCP server must be installed and running separately.
CI
.github/workflows/ci.yml runs the validate job on every pull request to main and every push to main; branch protection requires it, up to date with main. It validates the plugin and marketplace manifests (claude plugin validate --strict .), validates every skill marketplace.json lists against the Agent Skills specification (agentskills validate from skills-ref), fails on relative Markdown links to missing files (.github/scripts/check-links.mjs), and runs npm test when package.json declares it.
Skill Structure
Every skill follows this pattern in its SKILL.md:
---
name: skill-id
description: one-liner + trigger conditions
compatibility: MCP server requirements
metadata: author, version
---Followed by: Prerequisites → Process (numbered steps with specific MCP tool calls) → Interpretation Reference → Related Skills.
Plugin Distribution
.claude-plugin/plugin.json— name, version, author for the plugin itself.claude-plugin/marketplace.json— lists all skills, setsstrict: true, defines marketplace entry- Install path:
/plugin marketplace add tradeblocks-org/tradeblocks-skillsthen/plugin install tradeblocks@tradeblocks-skills
Domain Concepts
- Blocks — named strategy containers in the DuckDB database. Most tools require a
blockIdfromlist_blocks. - Strategy profiles — persistent metadata about a strategy's structure, entry filters, and expected regimes. Created by
profile_strategy, consumed by analysis skills. - Curve-fit detection — a first-class concern, especially in DC analysis. Multiple steps dedicated to identifying overfitting via walk-forward efficiency, parameter sensitivity, and out-of-sample degradation.
- Tail correlation — portfolio/risk skills distinguish normal vs tail correlation (Kendall's tau, joint tail dependence) because trading returns violate Gaussian assumptions.

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.
