Use BEFORE selecting any other decision framework — Cynefin (kuh-NEV-in) classifies WHICH framework fits the current situation across 5 domains (Clear / Complicated / Complex / Chaotic / Confused). Triggers when user is about to apply a method and the fit feels off, asks meta-questions like "should we follow SOP or explore?", or when same approach that worked last time seems wrong now. Also use after failure when "the method was right but the situation didn't match", or when team argues over deterministic-plan-vs-experimentation. Especially valuable at the start of major decisions to avoid using the wrong hammer for the nail. Do NOT use for trivial classified decisions (don't run Cynefin for "what to eat for lunch"), true Chaotic situations needing immediate stabilizing action (act first, classify later), or teams unfamiliar with the model (use simpler known/unknown binary).

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.

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.
