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
7 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 11
Read Existing Readme: Read file [ModuleFolder]/[Module Name].md if it's available.
- Very specific: line 12
Fetch Context: Read 00-executive-summary.md to understand the overarching goal of the track/module.
- Very specific: line 13
Fetch Template: Read the workflow/templates/module_doc_template.md file from the workspace root.
- Distinctive: line 15
Write 1-2 sentences explaining what the module teaches and why it matters.
- Distinctive: line 19
Just-in-Time Learning: Only introduce theory (e.g., Memory Coalescing, Thread Divergence) *after* the user has run the code or encountered …
- Distinctive: line 20
Add a small "Mini-challenge" for the user to modify the code and test their understanding.
- Very specific: line 21
Save: Write the output to [ModuleFolder]/[Module Name].md.
≈ “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.

README Creation Skill
You are executing the Documentation/Educational phase.
Instructions
- Read Existing Readme: Read file
[ModuleFolder]/[Module Name].mdif it's available. See02_Projects/A_Multimedia/Multimedia.mdor99_Toolbox/CoalescedAccess/CoalescedAccess.mdfor samples. - Fetch Context: Read
00-executive-summary.mdto understand the overarching goal of the track/module. - Fetch Template: Read the
workflow/templates/module_doc_template.mdfile from the workspace root. - Draft the README:
- Write 1-2 sentences explaining what the module teaches and why it matters.
- Define exact terminal commands (
bash cd 01FolderName,cmake -B build,cmake --build build) for the user to run. - Define the expected visual or terminal output so the user can verify success.
- Pedagogy Rules:
- Just-in-Time Learning: Only introduce theory (e.g., Memory Coalescing, Thread Divergence) after the user has run the code or encountered the problem.
- Add a small "Mini-challenge" for the user to modify the code and test their understanding.
- Save: Write the output to
[ModuleFolder]/[Module Name].md. See02_Projects/A_Multimedia/Multimedia.mdor99_Toolbox/CoalescedAccess/CoalescedAccess.mdfor samples.
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.
