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
6 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 21
Create or reuse virtual environment:
- Distinctive: line 31
Create local config if missing:
- Very specific: line 35
Verify required MCP variables are present in .env before enabling RAG:
- Distinctive: line 53
Do not print API keys.
- Very specific: line 54
If MCP path variables are missing, leave RAG_MCP_ENABLED=false until configured.
- Distinctive: line 55
Do not install the main project and MCP Knowledge Service into the same virtual environment.
“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.
Files
Setup Environment
Inputs
- Project root: current repository.
- Main project Python:
python3.12. - MCP Knowledge Service: independent virtual environment; its project metadata supports Python 3.11+.
- Optional MCP Knowledge Service path supplied through
.env.
Pipeline
- Check Python:
python3.12 --version - Create or reuse virtual environment:
python3.12 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate - Install dependencies:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip python -m pip install -c constraints-py312.txt -r requirements-dev.txt - Create local config if missing:
test -f .env || cp .env.example .env - Verify required MCP variables are present in
.envbefore enabling RAG:RAG_MCP_SERVER_PYTHONRAG_MCP_SERVER_MODULERAG_MCP_SERVER_CWDRAG_MCP_COLLECTION
- Run dependency check:
python -m pip check
Output
- Local
.venv. - Local
.envwith placeholders. - Next command: start FastAPI. When RAG is enabled and configured, FastAPI lifespan starts and manages the MCP stdio child process.
Failure Handling
- Do not print API keys.
- If MCP path variables are missing, leave
RAG_MCP_ENABLED=falseuntil configured. - Do not install the main project and MCP Knowledge Service into the same virtual environment.
- Manual MCP server startup is only for standalone stdio protocol validation, not normal application integration.
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
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.
