The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    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
  • could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
  1. Distinctive:

    Prefer maintained, widely used packages, added through the project's mechanism (version catalog, lockfile, package manager).

    line 11
  2. Distinctive:

    No unrelated upgrades or removals as a side effect.

    line 13

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Dependencies

  • First check whether the standard library, the platform or an existing dependency covers it. For small things, a few lines of code beat a new package.
  • Prefer maintained, widely used packages, added through the project's mechanism (version catalog, lockfile, package manager). Never hand-edit lockfiles.
  • Pin versions the way the project already does; no ranges or latest.
  • No unrelated upgrades or removals as a side effect. Version bumps are their own change.
  • Name each new dependency and why in your summary.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
