The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Ask: Which phase are you about to start?

    line 16
  2. Very specific:

    Read _superml/config.yml and check the artifacts section.

    line 30
  3. Very specific:

    If a flag is true but the file is missing: flag as INCOMPLETE (config/file mismatch).

    line 52

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Readiness Check Workflow

Goal

Confirm that every required artifact for the upcoming phase is present, complete, and signed off. Produce a clear go / not-ready decision with a specific remediation list for any gaps.


Step 1: Identify the Target Phase

Ask: Which phase are you about to start?

  • Planning (needs: PRD)
  • Architecture (needs: PRD, product sign-off)
  • Team Lead / Sprint Planning (needs: Architecture doc, Epics)
  • Development (needs: Sprint plan, Stories with ACs)
  • QA (needs: Development sign-off, all stories implemented)
  • Release (needs: QA sign-off, release checklist)

Step 2: Check Required Artifacts

For the chosen phase, verify each prerequisite:

Read _superml/config.yml and check the artifacts section.

ArtifactConfig KeyStatus
PRDprd_complete✔ / ✗
Architecture docarchitecture_complete✔ / ✗
Epics & Storiesepics_complete✔ / ✗
Dev sign-offimplementation_signed_off✔ / ✗
QA sign-offqa_signed_off✔ / ✗

Step 3: Verify File Existence

For each artifact flagged true in config, verify the file actually exists:

{docsPath}/product/prd.md
{docsPath}/architecture/architecture.md
{docsPath}/planning/epics.md

If a flag is true but the file is missing: flag as INCOMPLETE (config/file mismatch).


Step 4: Readiness Decision

READY — all prerequisites are marked complete and files exist.

✅ All prerequisites confirmed. You're ready to start [phase name].

NOT READY — one or more prerequisites are missing or incomplete.

❌ Cannot start [phase name]. Missing prerequisites:

  1. [artifact] — [action to fix]
  2. [artifact] — [action to fix]

Step 5: Output

Log the readiness check to {docsPath}/planning/readiness-check-{date}.md with:

  • Phase being checked
  • Each artifact: status + file path
  • Go / Not-Ready decision
  • Remediation steps (if not ready)

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
