Use when a decision will trigger downstream reactions — pricing changes, policy design, product trade-offs, organizational moves, platform rule changes, investment choices. Triggers on Chinese phrases 涨价 / 改规则 / 调架构 / 投资 / 平台政策 / 算法调整 / 长期 vs 短期, and English signals "let's just X", "this is the obvious move", "we should change Y". Especially when intuition says answer is "obvious" (often signals 1st-order best = 2nd-order worst), or when user describes a market/users/employees who WILL react to the decision. Howard Marks's investing edge. Do NOT use for decisions with no feedback loop (personal consumption), time-critical incidents (use ooda-loop), or already-paralyzed analysis (cap recursion at 3-4 orders).

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.
