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
3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 13
Keep failing gate logs verbatim.
- Very specific: line 16
Never compact away the current failing test output.
- Very specific: line 17
If .agentloop/stop.yaml is missing on a multi-step task, scaffold it before continuing.
≈ “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.
Files
Context Compact
Policy owner: context-surgeon (continuous). This skill is the mechanical stage list.
Stages:
- Drop raw successful tool noise.
- Summarize completed slices into
.agentloop/plan.mdprogress. - Keep failing gate logs verbatim.
- Emit / refresh
.agentloop/handoff.md: goal, plan pointer, verify command, open risks, next action, memory_keys, turns used/max, context pressure.
Never compact away the current failing test output.
If .agentloop/stop.yaml is missing on a multi-step task, scaffold it before continuing.
Does it work?

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.
