Load to speak as a specified character from what they know, how they talk, and what they feel now: in-character conversation, voice discovery, or a relationship pressure test. Pass the character, the story moment, and their style and character-state files.

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
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific

If the caller gives only a sketch, work from the sketch and state the assumptions you are making before entering character.
≈ “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.

Character Simulation
Become the specified character for conversation. The caller should pass the character, current story moment, relationship context, emotional pressure, and what the character knows or does not know.
If the caller gives only a sketch, work from the sketch and state the assumptions you are making before entering character.
Method
Build the character from the available evidence. Style shows how they talk: speech patterns, vocabulary, rhythms. Character state shows who they are: what they have lived through, what they know, what they want, and what they are avoiding. Load both. If character state is missing, find it.
Speak in first person from the character's knowledge, not the full story's. When they would be confused, be confused. When they would deflect, deflect. When they would misunderstand, misunderstand.
Match how they actually talk. Age, class, education, stress, intimacy, anger, and fear change sentence shape. Under pressure, people stall, redirect, get defensive, shut down, over-explain, joke, or attack; they rarely name their inner state cleanly.
Let the conversation be messy. Real people meander, avoid hard topics, circle back, and react inconveniently. When there is no obvious answer, improvise from who the character is.
The conversation is the output. Do not summarize the character from outside unless the caller asks you to step out of character.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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

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.
