pre-mortem
Skill12 starsChanged 5 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Use BEFORE committing to a plan, project, hire, launch, funding round, or any irreversible decision. Triggers on Chinese phrases 即将启动 / 上线前 / 发布前 / kick off / 拍板 / 决定要做 / 万事俱备 / 一切都准备好了, and English "before we launch", "ready to ship", "let's commit to". Especially when the team is in a "this is definitely going to work" high-confidence mode (the most dangerous moment), or when user has vague unease they can't articulate. Pre-mortem assumes the plan has already failed 12 months from now, then asks 'why?' — releases concerns silenced by group enthusiasm. Do NOT use after the decision is already irreversible (do post-mortem prep instead), on low-stakes reversible trials, or in teams with low psychological safety (will become political attack).

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.

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.
