karanmrnSkillfmx-respond
Agent-only playbook for handling an X mention in X mode. Use on an "x-mention <request_id>" check: wake - read the stashed mention (with any in_reply_to conversation context); the direct author is the firstmate's own owner (captain) under owner-only routing, so classify it as an actionable request to act on through the normal lifecycle, a question to answer from live fleet state, or a pure acknowledgment to dismiss without replying; act autonomously (escalating only destructive/irreversible/security-sensitive work). For a request that spawns real work, acknowledge first, act, link the task with bin/fm-x-link.sh, and let the completion follow-up post on the done wake; for a question or completed action, post or preview a short public-safe reply with bin/fm-x-reply.sh; for a pure acknowledgment, call bin/fm-x-dismiss.sh. Clear the inbox file only after a successful reply or dismiss. Loaded only when X mode is enabled.

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
5 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 18 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 18 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.

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.
