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, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
4
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
- Distinctive: line 17
Prefer plain words over inflated ones ("use" not "utilize", "help" not "facilitate").
- Distinctive: line 19
Keep the author's voice and register.
- Distinctive: line 24
Before: I just wanted to reach out in order to see if you might possibly have some availability to maybe hop on a quick call sometime.
- Distinctive: line 26
After: Do you have time for a quick call this week?
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 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.

When to use
The user pastes a paragraph, email, or passage and wants it cleaner and clearer while keeping the same meaning. This is a neutral clarity pass, distinct from a voice-anchored writing task: keep the author's own voice unless a tone is requested.
Instructions
- Preserve intent and every fact. Do not add claims, drop caveats, or change the point being made.
- Cut filler and hedging: "just", "really", "I think that", "in order to", throat-clearing intros, and redundant phrases.
- Prefer plain words over inflated ones ("use" not "utilize", "help" not "facilitate").
- Vary sentence length so it reads naturally; break up run-ons, and do not make everything staccato.
- Keep the author's voice and register. Only shift tone (more formal, warmer, punchier) if the user asks for it.
- Return only the rewritten text, then one short line noting what you changed (for example: "tightened, cut hedging, split two long sentences").
Example
Before: I just wanted to reach out in order to see if you might possibly have some availability to maybe hop on a quick call sometime.
After: Do you have time for a quick call this week?
Changed: cut hedging and filler, made it a direct ask.

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.
