The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
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
- Distinctive: line 19
Use this skill when requests involve:
- Distinctive: line 35
Use positive language for the term legacy: stable, battle-tested, and educational value
- Distinctive: line 36
Do not treat legacy as obsolete without context
- Distinctive: line 37
Always highlight compatibility and risk management
- Distinctive: line 38
Keep bridge protocol semantics explicit when cited
≈ “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.

WebView Legacy Reference
Purpose
Turn this repository into a practical knowledge base for Apple WebView legacy topics with positive framing:
- historical evolution
- practical usage patterns
- migration decision support
- safe maintenance guidance
When To Use
Use this skill when requests involve:
- historical context of UIWebView and WKWebView
- best practices for navigation, delegation, and bridge contracts
- migration strategy in legacy Objective-C codebases
- repository-level guidance for maintainers and learners
Required Output
- Explain context with historical timeline and current relevance
- Link recommendation to concrete references in
references/ - Distinguish learning/demo advice from production-critical advice
- Provide safe next steps for this repository architecture
Rules
- Use positive language for the term legacy: stable, battle-tested, and educational value
- Do not treat legacy as obsolete without context
- Always highlight compatibility and risk management
- Keep bridge protocol semantics explicit when cited
- Ground historical and behavioral claims in the files under
references/; if a claim is not covered there, mark itnot in referencesand cite an official Apple/WebKit source instead of asserting it from memory

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.
