The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

CLAUDE.md — go-skills
Agent skills (SKILL.md, https://agentskills.io) for GO curation. One directory per
skill under skills/. Skills here are either front doors to toolkits that live in
other repositories or self-contained GO curation skills; either way they must work
from a fresh $HOME with no checkout, and any credential they need (e.g. a barista
token) must be obtained by following the skill itself.
Rules:
name:in the frontmatter must equal the directory name (lowercase, hyphens).- Only spec frontmatter fields (
name,description,license,compatibility,metadata,allowed-tools) plus Claude Code'sargument-hint. Put version and source URL undermetadata. - Reference helpers as
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/...; that variable is the skill directory itself. - Keep
SKILL.mdunder 500 lines. Detail goes inreferences/. - Test a change with
npx skills add ./ --skill <name> -l(discovery) and by running any script under a scratch$HOME-like location before opening a PR. - The GO AI hub (geneontology/go-jupyter) places read-only links to a checkout of
mainin every curator's~/.claude/skills, refreshed within minutes of a merge. Do not merge half-finished skills, and do not write into the skill directory from a script: on the hub it is not writable.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
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.
