CLAUDE.md0 starsChanged 2 months agoMITView on GitHub
This is a personal, harness-agnostic engineering-skills pack — forked from addyosmani/agent-skills and customized around a per-feature spec/<feature-name>/ and tasks/<feature-name>/ artifact convention. See spec/agent-skills-overhaul/spec.md for the full rationale and docs/cutover.md for what changed vs. upstream. Scope: This file configures agents working on this repository (the skill pack itself), not other projects. Don't copy it into another project or a global agent configuration — the reusable assets are the skills in skills/. Define: interview-me, idea-refine, spec-driven-development Plan: planning-and-task-breakdown, constraint-driven-development Build: incremental-implementation, test-driven-development,…

The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Very specific: line 32
Every skill lives in skills/<name>/SKILL.md, YAML frontmatter with name + description (description: what it does, then "Use when...").
- Distinctive: line 33
Every skill has: Overview, When to Use, Process, Common Rationalizations, Red Flags, Verification.
- Very specific: line 36
Every skill change that touches a command must update all three surfaces: .claude/commands/*.md, commands/*.toml, .gemini/commands/*.toml.
- Very specific: line 45
Always: follow docs/skill-anatomy.md for new/changed skills.
- Distinctive: line 47
Never: add a skill that's vague advice instead of an actionable process.
≈ “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.

Project Structure
skills/ → Core skills (SKILL.md per directory)
agents/ → Reusable agent personas (code-reviewer, test-engineer, security-auditor, web-performance-auditor)
.claude/commands/ → Claude Code commands (/spec, /plan, /build, /test, /review, /code-simplify, /ship, /webperf, /constraints, /quiz)
commands/, .gemini/commands/ → generic + Gemini CLI mirrors of the same commands
.claude-plugin/, .codex-plugin/, .agents/plugins/, .opencode/ → per-harness plugin manifests/surfaces
references/ → Supplementary checklists (testing, performance, security, accessibility, observability, orchestration)
docs/ → Setup guides per harness + skill-anatomy.md + cutover.md
scripts/ → Validators (npm run validate) and their tests (npm test)
spec/, tasks/ → This repo's own spec/plan artifacts — tracked here (not gitignored), see the T0.2 note in tasks/agent-skills-overhaul/plan.mdSkills by Phase

Conventions
- Every skill lives in
skills/<name>/SKILL.md, YAML frontmatter withname+description(description: what it does, then "Use when..."). - Every skill has: Overview, When to Use, Process, Common Rationalizations, Red Flags, Verification.
- Shared references live in root
references/; a skill's own references live inskills/<name>/references/. - Path convention (the reason this fork exists): specs at
spec/<feature-name>/spec.md, plans attasks/<feature-name>/plan.md, task lists attasks/<feature-name>/todo.md, review remediation attasks/<feature-name>/review/{plan,todo}.md. Never write these at the top level (SPEC.md,tasks/plan.md) —SPEC.md/docs/SPEC.mdare recognized only as legacy fallback locations/buildstill checks. - Every skill change that touches a command must update all three surfaces:
.claude/commands/*.md,commands/*.toml,.gemini/commands/*.toml.
Commands
npm run validate— skill frontmatter, command parity across the 3 surfaces, manifest version agreement, spec/plan artifact-path drift,references/link resolution,.opencode/skillssync.npm test— unit tests for the validators (node --test).
Boundaries
- Always: follow
docs/skill-anatomy.mdfor new/changed skills; runnpm run validateandnpm testbefore committing; keep the per-feature path convention. - Ask first: renaming this repo or the
agent-skillsplugin name; deleting a skill, command, or persona; pushing toorigin; opening a PR. - Never: add a skill that's vague advice instead of an actionable process; duplicate content between skills instead of referencing; let the three command surfaces drift out of sync.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether 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.
