Used with
Projects with it also use writing-tests and testing.
Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
MicrosoftSkillwriting-tests
Apply this repository's test policy when you add or change tests. Test public behavior through public APIs and test utilities. Keep tests deterministic, fast, and independent of real I/O. Use unit tests for implementation details that public APIs cannot exercise.

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, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 7 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 11
All responses are JSON. No auth required.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 7 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.
Files
ecosyste.ms Commits API
Base URL: https://commits.ecosyste.ms/api/v1
All responses are JSON. No auth required. Set a User-Agent header. Lookup endpoints return a 302 redirect, so use curl -L.

Repository commit stats
curl -sL 'https://commits.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/repositories/lookup?url=https://github.com/rails/rails'Or directly by host (repo names containing / must be URL-encoded as %2F):
curl -s 'https://commits.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/hosts/GitHub/repositories/rails%2Frails'Returns: total_commits, total_committers, total_bot_commits, total_bot_committers, mean_commits, dds (development distribution score, 0-1, higher means work is spread across more people), committers[] (name, email, login, count), plus past_year_* variants of each, and last_synced_commit.
List commits

- Finding which repos a given person commits to
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
