javalenciacaiSkillmulti-agent-orchestration
Design and coordinate multi-agent systems where specialized agents work together to solve complex problems. Covers agent communication, task delegation, workflow orchestration, and result aggregation. Use when building coordinated agent teams, complex workflows, or systems requiring specialized expertise across domains.

GoogleSkillcoding-principles
Enforces engineering, architecture, public API, and code quality standards distilled from human reviewer feedback across A2UI pull requests. Use when authoring new code, refactoring, addressing review feedback, or reviewing PR diffs. Don't use for release publishing or spec blueprint generation without code or PR changes.

pproencaSkillrefactoring
Code refactoring best practices based on Martin Fowler's catalog and Clean Code principles. This skill should be used when refactoring existing code, improving code structure, reducing complexity, eliminating code smells, or reviewing code for maintainability. Triggers on tasks involving extract method, rename, decompose conditional, reduce coupling, or improve readability.

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
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 74 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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 20
Before creating any prompt, understand:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 74 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.

+-- "Create a prompt" --> EXPLORATION PHASE
+-- "Optimize this prompt" --> OPTIMIZATION PHASE
+-- "Fix this issue" --> ANALYSIS PHASEPhase 1: Exploration
Before creating any prompt, understand:
- What task will this prompt accomplish?
- Who will use it?
- What does success look like?
- What are the constraints?
Phase 2: Analysis
Task Classification
| Dimension | Options |
| Complexity | Simple vs multi-step |
| Output | Creative vs analytical vs structured |
| Stakes | High vs experimental |
Strategy Selection
| Task Type | Approach |
| Simple | Direct instructions |
| Complex | Chain-of-thought |
| Creative | Role setting |
| Structured | Format specs + examples |
Phase 3: Implementation
Version 1 - Minimal
- Core instructions only
- Test basic functionality
Version 2 - Enhanced
- Add examples
- Clarify ambiguities
- Add constraints
Version 3+ - Optimized
- Refine wording
- Remove redundancy
Key Techniques
Role Setting
As an experienced code reviewer, analyze...Chain-of-Thought
Think step-by-step:
1. First, identify...
2. Then, analyze...
3. Finally, conclude...Few-Shot Learning
Example 1:
Input: "Great product"
Output: { "sentiment": "positive" }
Now analyze: "It was okay"Explicit Constraints

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.
