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
3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 71 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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 16
Ask the whole frontier in one round.
- Very specific: line 30
Do not invent ARR, users, or competitors.
- Very specific: line 31
No trading/Nautilus/portfolio gates — this is a personal git-comprehension product.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 71 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
Grilling
Interview until shared understanding. Do not implement during a grill.
Map the subject as a design tree: every decision branches into the decisions that hang off it.
Rounds and frontier
Work the tree in rounds. The frontier is every decision whose prerequisites are already settled — questions you can ask now without guessing unanswered ones.
Ask the whole frontier in one round. Number each question. Give a recommended answer. Then wait.
❓ **Q1** - **<title>**: <body; choices if useful>
➡️ <recommended answer>Settled answers push the frontier outward. A question that depends on another still open in this round belongs to a later round.
Facts vs decisions
- Facts (repo, CURRENT, ADRs, public sources): look them up. Do not ask the user what you can read.
- Decisions: the user's. Put each to them and wait.
- Do not invent ARR, users, or competitors. If unknown, say
unknown. - No trading/Nautilus/portfolio gates — this is a personal git-comprehension product.
Done
The frontier is empty: every material branch visited, nothing silently assumed. Do not act on the result until the user confirms shared understanding. Then offer (do not silently write) an ADR + CURRENT patch if a durable decision crystallized.
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
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.
