The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 38 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Search each sub-query independently

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    Use WebSearch for broad queries, WebFetch for specific URLs:

    line 19
  3. Distinctive:

    Check publication dates for freshness

    line 28
  4. Distinctive:

    Prefer primary sources over secondary

    line 45
  5. Distinctive:

    Check for recency (information may be outdated)

    line 46

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 38 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.

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

Web Research

Patterns for agents performing structured web research.

Search Strategy

  1. Break the research question into sub-queries
  2. Search each sub-query independently
  3. Extract relevant content from top results
  4. Synthesize findings with source attribution

Search Tools

Use WebSearch for broad queries, WebFetch for specific URLs:

WebSearch: "cortextOS multi-agent orchestration 2026"
WebFetch: "https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/agents"

Content Extraction

  • Extract key facts, quotes, and data points
  • Note the source URL for each finding
  • Check publication dates for freshness
  • Cross-reference claims across multiple sources

Research Output Format

## Finding: [Topic]
**Source:** [URL]
**Date:** [Publication date]
**Key points:**
- Point 1
- Point 2

**Relevance:** [How this relates to the research question]

Best Practices

  • Always attribute sources
  • Prefer primary sources over secondary
  • Check for recency (information may be outdated)
  • Synthesize, don't just aggregate
  • Flag conflicting information explicitly

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.
