The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Never add copyrighted standard text (ISO, AICPA).
- Very specific: line 10
Run python3 scripts/sync_references.py --check before committing.
- Distinctive: line 13
When a skill's behaviour changes, update its README in the same PR so the page stays accurate.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

Maintainer notes for agents working on this repo
This repo is a library of portable GRC agent skills distributed with npx skills add grcmana/grcskills and listed on grcskills.io. You're editing the library, not running a GRC programme.
- Shared knowledge lives in
knowledge/. Never editskills/*/references/copies directly. Editknowledge/, then runpython3 scripts/sync_references.py. - Each skill must stay self-contained and follow
knowledge/methodology/grc-workspace.md. SKILL.mdfrontmatter:nameequals the folder name, anddescriptionis 1024 characters or fewer and describes what the skill does and when to use it.- Never add copyrighted standard text (ISO, AICPA). Use IDs and own-words summaries.
- Bump
metadata.versionin a skill when you change its behaviour. Update theas_ofdate in a framework pack when you change its facts. - Run
python3 scripts/sync_references.py --checkbefore committing. - The grcskills.io website lives in a separate private repo. This repo's only interface to it is
catalog.json, built byscripts/build_catalog.pyand attached to tagged releases. Keepmetadata.summaryandmetadata.frameworksaccurate. - Website content also lives here:
skills/<name>/README.md(skill pages, template intemplates/skill-README.md),collections/<slug>.md(categories) andcontributors/<handle>/README.md(opt-in profiles, with an optionalavatar.png/.jpg; checks inscripts/contributor_checks.py).build_catalog.pyvalidates them and packs them intocatalog.json(schema 2, seedocs/catalog-schema-2.md). A change to the catalogue shape needs the website owner's agreement. - When a skill's behaviour changes, update its README in the same PR so the page stays accurate.

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.
