llp-create
Skill4.3k starsChanged 3 days agoMITView on GitHub
Create a new LLP document with the next available number (top-level NNNN or a dotted sub-LLP under a parent), the NNNN-slug.type.md filename convention, and a scaffolded metadata header, linked into llp/current/ — or extend an existing LLP when one already covers the topic.

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, 2 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

No corpus to add the document to → llp-adopt.
≈ “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.

<!-- @ref https://github.com/ccheever/llp/blob/v0.5.2/llp/0000-linked-literate-programming.explainer.md#1-llp-documents — numbering, metadata, types, statuses --><!-- @ref https://github.com/ccheever/llp/blob/v0.5.2/llp/0008-distributed-agent-skills.rfc.md#the-skills--core-five-plus-flags — skill contract -->Author one LLP in a corpus that already exists. Handles numbering, filename, and the metadata scaffold so the author can focus on content.
Invoke as /llp-create <title>, /llp-create --under NNNN <title> for a sub-LLP, or bare and the skill asks.
Trigger
"Capture this decision" / "write an LLP for this" — during or after a design conversation.
Invariants
- MUST check for a covering document first:
Grepthe**Systems:**and**Related:**headers acrossllp/and propose extending an existing LLP over creating a new one when the topic is already covered. - MUST derive the next number as
max(ever allocated) + 1— top-levelNNNN, or for a sub-LLP ofP:P.+max(ever allocated children of P) + 1as three digits (000if none) — where "ever allocated" scans all ofllp/recursively (excludingcurrent/,foundation/,reviews/) and history for deleted documents (git log --all --diff-filter=D --name-only -- llp). Numbers are never reused, never invented, and a parent must already exist. - MUST name the file
NNNN(.NNN)*-slug.type.mdwith the lowercased type matching the header's**Type:**, put the full dotted number in the title, and start every new LLP asDraft. - MUST link the new document into
llp/current/with a relative symlink (mkdir -p llp/current && ln -s ../<file> llp/current/<file>; on a checkout without symlink support, a regular file containing../<file>is equivalent) — new work is in the working set by definition (LLP 0000 Current and foundation). - MUST propose a sub-LLP, not a new top-level number, when the document refines, specifies, or plans an existing LLP (spec for an RFC →
NNNN.000-….spec.md). Never re-parent by renaming. - MUST NOT overwrite an existing file — if the name collides, stop and ask.
- MUST NOT silently pick a document type when the choice is ambiguous — propose one and confirm.
Workflow
Recipe (advisory) — next top-level number:
{ find llp -name '[0-9]*.md' -not -path 'llp/reviews/*' -not -path 'llp/current/*' -not -path 'llp/foundation/*'; git log --all --diff-filter=D --name-only --format= -- llp; } | grep -oE '(^|/)[0-9]{4}' | grep -oE '[0-9]{4}' | sort -n | tail -1(+1); next child of0011: same pipeline with0011\.[0-9]{3}(+1, or000). Slug: lowercase, non-alphanumerics →-, collapse repeats, keep it under ~6 words. Type cues: proposal →rfc; requirements →spec; settled choice →decision; steps →plan; teaching →explainer; always/never →principles; how-to →guide; bug →issue; findings →research. Scaffold sections: Summary · Motivation · Design · Open questions (Decisions use Context/Options/Decision/Consequences; Research uses Findings/Confidence).
Artifact
A new Draft LLP with a complete metadata header (Type, Status, Systems, Author, Date; Related: where relevant) — plus an offer to draft the body from the current conversation. Confirm the assigned number and path back to the user.
Hand-offs
- No corpus to add the document to →
llp-adopt. - The document is foundational or contentious →
llp-review, scaled to stakes (LLP 0005).
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.
