The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 16 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 2

    Distinctive

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Run it fresh, or reuse a result only if nothing changed since that green run.

    line 20
  2. Distinctive:

    Read the 2 to 3 lines the claim rests on: the counts, the exit code, the failure ids.

    line 21
  3. Very specific:

    Run bash <skill-dir>/../swarm/scripts/superlite-cli run_tests --full for full suites (or --fast PATHS for a focused run).

    line 27

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 16 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Proof

Evidence before claims. Never say "done", "fixed" or "passing" without fresh proof from this session.

Acceptable evidence

  • The one-line summary (passed failed skipped seconds) from bash <skill-dir>/../swarm/scripts/superlite-cli run_tests --full after the last change.
  • Or a focused run you executed yourself after the last change, covering exactly what you claim.
  • For a build, a lint or a type check: that command's exit status and summary line.
  • For a bug fix: the original reproduction now passing, plus its regression test.

Rules

  1. Name the command that proves the claim.
  2. Run it fresh, or reuse a result only if nothing changed since that green run. If nothing changed, do not re-run.
  3. Read the 2 to 3 lines the claim rests on: the counts, the exit code, the failure ids. Not just "no error scrolled by".
  4. State the result honestly: "47 passed, 0 failed (run_tests --full, after the last edit)", or the actual failures.
  5. Scope the claim to the evidence. A passing unit test does not prove the build works. A clean lint does not prove tests pass. An agent saying "DONE" does not prove the diff is right: check git status --short and git diff --stat, and read the evidence it reports.

Full-suite runs

Run bash <skill-dir>/../swarm/scripts/superlite-cli run_tests --full for full suites (or --fast PATHS for a focused run); it prints one summary line, so logs stay out of your context. Run it once per wave and once at the end, not after every small edit.

Requirements and delegated work

Re-read the plan or request and tick each requirement off against the code and tests. A green suite does not mean the spec is met. Confirm the files a subagent changed match what its task owned.

Red flags: stop and verify first

  • "Should work now", "probably fine", "I'm confident".
  • Satisfaction before the check ("Great!", "Done!").
  • About to commit, push or open a PR without a check.
  • Trusting a report without looking at its evidence.
  • "Just this once", or being tired and wanting to finish.

Never claim

Success with failures you decided to ignore. Say what fails and why it is acceptable, or fix it.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
