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. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
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
- Very specific: line 11
Use this skill when adding, removing, or materially changing user-facing documentation.
- Distinctive: line 17
Follow the Microsoft Style Guide: sentence-case headings, active voice, second person, and present tense unless established project voice …
- Distinctive: line 19
Keep one canonical page per concept.
- Very specific: line 23
When a page is added or removed, update the relevant expected-inventory arrays in test/docs-build.test.ts in the same change.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Context
Use this skill when adding, removing, or materially changing user-facing documentation. Squad documentation should describe the product and its supported configuration, not surrounding infrastructure presented as product behavior.
Patterns
- Follow the Microsoft Style Guide: sentence-case headings, active voice, second person, and present tense unless established project voice requires an exception.
- Keep one canonical page per concept. Link to it rather than duplicating content, using the most specific stable anchor available.
- Choose paragraphs for explanation, parallel lists for scannable choices or steps, and tables for comparisons or reference data.
- When a page is added or removed, update the relevant expected-inventory arrays in
test/docs-build.test.tsin the same change. - Review behavior changes for documentation impact. Update affected docs or explicitly record why no user-facing documentation changes.
Examples
.github/PR_REQUIREMENTS.md requires a docs-build test update for a new feature page.
test/docs-build.test.ts verifies the expected guide, feature, scenario, concept, and reference
inventories against the filesystem.
Anti-Patterns
- Presenting external deployment wrappers, bots, or unrelated infrastructure as Squad features
- Adding a page without checking the inventory assertions
- Duplicating a concept across several pages instead of linking to the canonical explanation
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
