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
4 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 27 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
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
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Distinctive: line 14
Run git status to review changed files.
- Distinctive: line 15
Run git diff (or git diff --cached) to inspect the changes — the message must describe what the diff actually does.
- Distinctive: line 20
Stop there — never push, open, or merge a PR/MR.
- Very specific: line 53
Before committing, check: the type is in the allowed list, the description is imperative and matches the staged diff, breaking changes …
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 27 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.
Files
Conventional Commit
Produce commit messages that follow the
Conventional Commits specification:
type(scope): description.
Workflow
- Run
git statusto review changed files. - Run
git diff(orgit diff --cached) to inspect the changes — the message must describe what the diff actually does. - Stage only the files that belong to this change:
git add <file>. - Construct the message with the structure below and commit:
git commit -m "type(scope): description"(multi-line body/footer when needed). - Stop there — never push, open, or merge a PR/MR; that is always a human action.
Message structure
type(scope): description
[optional body — the why and any context the diff doesn't show]
[optional footer — BREAKING CHANGE: details, or issue references]- type — one of
feat,fix,docs,style,refactor,perf,test,build,ci,chore,revert. Append!for breaking changes (feat!:). - scope — optional but recommended: the module/area touched (e.g.
auth,parser,ui). - description — required, short, imperative mood ("add", not "added"/"adds"), no trailing period.
- body — optional; explain motivation and contrast with previous behavior.
- footer —
BREAKING CHANGE: <details>and/or issue references (Closes #123).
Examples
feat(parser): add ability to parse arrays
fix(ui): correct button alignment
docs: update README with usage instructions
refactor: improve performance of data processing
chore: update dependencies
feat!: send email on registration (BREAKING CHANGE: email service required)Validation
Before committing, check: the type is in the allowed list, the description is imperative and
matches the staged diff, breaking changes carry ! and a BREAKING CHANGE: footer, and the
commit contains only the files of this one logical change (split unrelated changes into
separate commits).
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.
