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, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbsearchentities&search={merchant_name}&language=en&format=json - Analyzes the search results:
- Verified: If a matching entity exists on Wikidata. Extracts the description (e.g. “American multinational technology company”) and entity ID (e.g.,
Q95). - Unverified: If no match is found on Wikidata.
