The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 40
Use al-spec-agent with the requirement, complexity and scope in $ARGUMENTS.
- Distinctive: line 41
Read and follow the canonical specification contract in full before authoring.
- Distinctive: line 52
Do not change the root requirement name to the unit slug or write an aggregate spec.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

This workflow was written for@workspace use …in GitHub Copilot Chat. Apply these harness mappings and treat everything else as binding:

In Copilot a handoff is a button the human clicks, and send: falseadditionally hands them the prompt to review before it is sent; the host supplies the approval. Claude Code delegates through theTasktool, with no click and no review step. So never auto-delegate: present your output, get explicit approval, and only then delegate or route to another role.

AL specification entrypoint
Use al-spec-agent with the requirement, complexity and scope in $ARGUMENTS.
Read and follow the canonical specification contract
in full before authoring. This entrypoint does not define another specification
workflow. Resolve the role link from this installed prompt's directory.
Pass the approved requirement/architecture, current spec path if revising, and
any Architect-assigned scope. If this host cannot route to the named custom agent,
read that same role contract in the current session and state the routing limit;
do not claim another agent executed. Preserve the role's write scope and approval
gate. For single-spec the output remains .claude/plans/{req_name}/{req_name}.spec.md.
For multi-spec pass one assigned SPEC-ID, its exact output path from the approved
architecture, architecture revision and required approved predecessor contracts.
Do not change the root requirement name to the unit slug or write an aggregate
spec. Follow approved authoring groups and preserve both dependency types. Return
the assigned spec for current joint consistency review and human approval.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
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.
