The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
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 13
Use provided context before asking questions.
- Distinctive: line 24
Add minimal attribution to transcript snippets when possible.
- Distinctive: line 27
Ask concise questions only for missing required inputs.
- Distinctive: line 28
Stop when all four fields are complete and clear.
- Distinctive: line 36
Use this skill when the task directly matches the workflow described above.
- Distinctive: line 40
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.

OST Intake
Collect high-quality, normalized inputs for OST work.
Instructions
Step 1: Parse existing context first
- Use provided context before asking questions.
Step 2: Collect four required fields
business_outcomejourney_nodes_as_list(JSON array of moments)interview_transcripts_or_story_snippetsconstraints_or_principles(orNone stated)
Step 3: Normalize quality
- Reframe solution-flavored outcomes into measurable outcomes.
- Reframe feature-like nodes into moments in time.
- Add minimal attribution to transcript snippets when possible.
Step 4: Ask only missing critical questions
- Ask concise questions only for missing required inputs.
- Stop when all four fields are complete and clear.
Output
- Final normalized values for all four required fields.
When to Use
Use this skill when the task directly matches the workflow described above.
When Not to Use

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.

- 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.
