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
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific

Use only bullets, tables, and code blocks.

Write one sentence per bullet.
≈ “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.

writing-documents
Write the document under the following rules.
Rules
- Write no prose.
- Use only bullets, tables, and code blocks.
- Write one sentence per bullet.
- Give every bullet a subject.
- Fill each table cell with a word or phrase, never a sentence.
- End no bullet with a full stop, such as a period or 「。」.
- Describe each subject as a black box: state only what it takes, does, needs, guarantees, and returns or fails with, never how it works inside or how to meet its needs.

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.
