The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    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
  1. Very specific:

    Check if the user has an existing SSH key by reading the example key format in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/examples/id_rsa.example

    line 14

≈ “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.

SSH Helper Skill

Help the user set up and troubleshoot SSH connections.

Process

  1. Check if the user has an existing SSH key by reading the example key format in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/examples/id_rsa.example
  2. Compare the example format against what the user has
  3. Help generate a new key or fix configuration issues

Key Format Reference

The file examples/id_rsa.example shows the expected format for an RSA private key. Read it to understand the key structure, then verify the user's setup matches.

Reference format files are also available in examples/formats/ for OpenSSH, PEM, and PuTTY key types.

Common Issues

  • Wrong permissions on ~/.ssh/ (should be 700)
  • Wrong permissions on key files (should be 600)
  • Key not added to ssh-agent
  • Missing ~/.ssh/config entries

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.
