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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Do NOT close the issue
- Distinctive: line 37
NEVER close an issue if a gate fails.
- Distinctive: line 38
NEVER use workarounds to bypass gates.
- Distinctive: line 39
NEVER close issues manually in Linear — always use this skill.
≈ “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.

Close Issue
Close Linear issue $ARGUMENTS with mechanical verification.
Steps
- Run the harness gate script:
This runs 3 gates:bash scripts/close_issue.sh $0- Gate 1: Tests passing? (
npm test) - Gate 2: CI green? (
gh run list) - Gate 3: Acceptance criteria all checked? (Linear API)
- Gate 1: Tests passing? (
- If ALL gates pass:
The script automatically:
- Posts evidence comment to the Linear issue
- Moves issue to "Done"
- Report:
Issue $0 closed with evidence.
- If ANY gate fails:
- Report which gate failed and why
- Do NOT close the issue
- Suggest what the user needs to fix
Rules
- NEVER close an issue if a gate fails.
- NEVER use workarounds to bypass gates.
- NEVER close issues manually in Linear — always use this skill.
- The user must fix the root cause, then run
/close-issueagain.

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.
