The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
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
- Very specific: line 15
Read .claude/pm-state.json for active state
- Distinctive: line 21
Wait up to 30 seconds for workers to acknowledge (responses arrive as <channel> events)
- Distinctive: line 32
Ask user: "Would you like to clean up orphaned worktrees?
- Distinctive: line 37
Remove unmerged worktrees with confirmation for each
≈ “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.

/pm:stop — Graceful Shutdown
Shutdown Sequence
- Read
.claude/pm-state.jsonfor active state - For each active worker:
- Send
abortmessage via claude-peers:{ "type": "abort", "task_id": "{id}", "reason": "PM shutting down" } - Log the abort
- Send
- For each active VO agent:
- Send abort message
- Wait up to 30 seconds for workers to acknowledge (responses arrive as
<channel>events) - Update pm-state.json:
- Move active workers to a
shutdown_pendingstate - Record shutdown timestamp
- Move active workers to a
- Report summary:
- Workers notified: N
- Workers acknowledged: N
- Tasks that were in progress (may need re-queue on next /pm:start)
Optional Cleanup
Ask user: "Would you like to clean up orphaned worktrees? This removes worktrees for tasks that haven't been merged."
If yes:
- Run
git worktree list - Cross-reference with merged branches
- Remove unmerged worktrees with confirmation for each
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
