Skill Development

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

28 rules. 14 are common, 9 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.

• 14

  Common

  Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

• 9

  Distinctive

  This author's own choices. Worth a look.

• 5

  Very specific

  Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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.

  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.
