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.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Use this skill as the friendly front door for new GRACE work.
- Distinctive: line 35
Stop at the Stage 1 gate.
- Distinctive: line 37
Do not move into business analysis until Stage 1 is approved enough.
≈ “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.

Project Start
Use this skill as the friendly front door for new GRACE work.
It does not replace project-setup or project-definition. It routes the
session through them in the expected order so the human does not need to
remember the startup choreography.
Interaction Pattern
- Run
project-setup.- Classify project type.
- Set the predictability dial.
- Choose standard structure or custom artifact mapping.
- Scaffold starter artifacts when appropriate.
- Get human approval for the artifact strategy.
- Run
project-definition.- Identify target users and stakeholders.
- Clarify intended value.
- Define major task categories and initial scope intent.
- Survey existing tools or solutions.
- Capture thesis and guiding principles.
- Decide whether to proceed to analysis.
- Stop at the Stage 1 gate.
- Present the product-definition artifacts for human review.
- Do not move into business analysis until Stage 1 is approved enough.
Output
Produce the same artifacts owned by the underlying skills:
- project-setup record or artifact strategy statement
docs/01-project-definition/project-definition-summary.mddocs/01-project-definition/project-thesis-and-principles.md
Gate
Human approval is required before treating Stage 1 as complete or moving into business analysis.
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
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.
