The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
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 12
When analyzing customer interviews to understand decision-making and switching behavior.
- Distinctive: line 57
Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
≈ “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.

JTBD Extraction from Interviews
Analyze interview transcripts using the Jobs to Be Done framework to understand why people make changes.
When to Use
When analyzing customer interviews to understand decision-making and switching behavior.
The Framework
JTBD breaks decisions into four forces:
| Force | What it captures | How to phrase |
| Pushes | Pain with current situation | "When..." statements |
| Pulls | Desired outcomes | "So I can..." or "So I don't..." |
| Habits | Comfort with status quo | "When..." (positive aspects) |
| Anxieties | Fears about change | Questions or concerns |
The Process
- Read the transcript looking for moments of change or decision
- Extract statements for each force:
- Pushes: "When I'm not listened to..."
- Pulls: "So I can work with someone who trusts me..."
- Habits: "When I really like my current community..."
- Anxieties: "Can this really be fixed?"
- Capture context:
- Current situation
- Job/role
- Key challenges
- Synthesize insights:
- What's driving potential change?
- What's holding them back?
- What outcome do they really want?
Output Format
Provide:
- Context summary
- Pushes (list)
- Pulls (list)
- Habits (list)
- Anxieties (list)
- Key insights about decision-making
When Not to Use
Do not use this skill when the request is unrelated, low-stakes, or better handled by a simpler direct response.
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.
