Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
19 rules. About 0 are common, 17 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill 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.

Sync protocol
Use this skill when the user requests protocol synchronisation.
Use this skill when implementation materially changes a stable repository contract.
Do not invoke this skill after ordinary feature work.
Scope
- Read accepted product intent relevant to the contract change.
- Read the current Project Specifics.
- Read the implementation evidence for the contract change.
- Edit only the Project Specifics region of
AGENTS.md. - Edit an existing
EXPERIENCE.mdonly when interaction policy changed. - Edit an existing
DESIGN.mdonly when presentation policy changed. - Preserve compatible human additions.
- Preserve unrelated project rules.
Reconciliation
- Make stable instructions match verified implementation reality.
- Keep commands exact.
- Keep validation gates executable.
- Keep architecture boundaries current.
- Keep security boundaries current.
- Keep external-operation gates current.
- Keep interaction policy current when applicable.
- Keep presentation policy current when applicable.
- Remove superseded stable instructions.
- Avoid copying current task status into stable instructions.
- Avoid copying execution history into stable instructions.
- Surface contradictions that require a product decision.
Boundaries
- Avoid editing
BUILD_STATE.md. - Avoid editing
GOVERNANCE.md. - Avoid editing
ROADMAP.md. - Avoid creating
EXPERIENCE.md. - Avoid creating
DESIGN.md. - Avoid inventing execution strategy.
- Avoid broadening the approved objective.
- Use
plan-implementationwhen execution strategy must change materially. - Use
shape-conceptwhen accepted product intent must change.
Delivery
- Apply the reconciliation within the approved objective.
- Report every changed stable instruction.
- Report every unresolved contradiction.
- Continue the approved implementation objective after reconciliation.
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.
