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
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 102 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
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
- Very specific: line 12
Write a PRD before building a new feature or changing user-facing behavior.
- Very specific: line 14
Keep one PRD per feature at prds/{feature}.md.
- Distinctive: line 64
Write requirements as behavior the user sees.
- Distinctive: line 67
When the feature touches auth, payments, or personal data, list each risk under Constraints with how you will verify it.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 102 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.
Files
PRDs
A PRD records what to build and why, in terms you can build and verify against. How it gets built lives in the code and in the PRD's Decisions section.
When one is needed
Write a PRD before building a new feature or changing user-facing behavior. Bug fixes, refactors, and small tweaks go straight to code. Before building a feature, find its PRD in prds/ and build against it.
Keep one PRD per feature at prds/{feature}.md. When scope or a decision changes mid-build, update the PRD in the same change as the code.
Status
draft: open questions remain. Resolve the ones a requirement depends on with me before building that requirement.approved: requirements are settled. Build against them.shipped: every P0 requirement is live. Further changes go in a new PRD.
Template
---
title: Feature name
status: draft
---
## Problem
Who has the problem, what it costs them today, and why it matters now. Two to five sentences.
## Goals
Measurable outcomes with targets, e.g. "80% of new users finish setup in under 2 minutes."
## Non-goals
What this work leaves out on purpose, with the reason for each.
## Users and flows
Who uses it, and the main flow as numbered steps.
## Requirements
### R1 (P0): One sentence describing behavior the user sees
- Given ..., when ..., then ...
### R2 (P1): ...
- Given ..., when ..., then ...
## Constraints
Only what applies to this feature: performance budgets, security and privacy, integrations, migrations or rollout steps, deadlines.
## Open questions
- Blocks R2: the question.
## Decisions
- YYYY-MM-DD: The decision, and the reason.Priorities: P0 ships in the first release. P1 should ship but can slip. P2 is later.
Writing rules
- Write requirements as behavior the user sees. "Search returns results in under 300 ms" is a requirement. "Add an index on title" is an implementation choice and goes in Decisions if it matters.
- Give every requirement acceptance criteria that a person can check in the app or a test can assert.
- Problem, Non-goals, and Requirements are always present. Leave out any other section that would only say TBD or N/A.
- When the feature touches auth, payments, or personal data, list each risk under Constraints with how you will verify it.
Building against a PRD
The P0 acceptance criteria are the definition of done. Before calling the feature finished, check every one and report any that fail. Reference requirement IDs (R1, R2) in commit messages and PR descriptions.
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.
