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
7 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
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 15
When you have several options to choose from
- Distinctive: line 16
When multiple factors influence your decision
- Distinctive: line 17
When you want to remove subjectivity from decision-making
- Distinctive: line 22
Write down the decision you need to make
- Distinctive: line 26
Add weight to factors
- Distinctive: line 33
Use a consistent scoring scale (e.g., 1-5)
- Distinctive: line 38
Not all factors are equally important
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 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.

Decision Matrix
Overview
A decision-making tool that helps choose the best option by systematically evaluating multiple factors.
When to Use
- When you have several options to choose from
- When multiple factors influence your decision
- When you want to remove subjectivity from decision-making
How to Use
Steps
- Write down the decision you need to make
- List available options
- Identify decision factors
- Score options on each factor
- Add weight to factors
- Calculate total scores
- Select the option with the highest score
Detailed Process
Scoring
- Use a consistent scoring scale (e.g., 1-5)
- 1 = worst
- 5 = best
Weighting Factors
- Not all factors are equally important
- Assign weights to reflect factor significance
- Multiply factor score by its weight
Practical Example: Choosing a Design Tool
Factors Considered
- Cost
- Prototyping capabilities
- Collaboration features
Sample Decision Matrix
| Factors | Cost | Prototyping | Collaboration | Total Score |
| Sketch | 4 | 2 | 3 | 37 |
| Figma | 3 | 3 | 5 | 42 |
| Framer | 3 | 5 | 3 | 44 |
Benefits
- Removes uncertainty from decisions
- Provides a systematic approach
- Helps prioritize important factors

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.
