Literature / citation / formatting / regulatory hub: paper search (arXiv / bioRxiv / Europe PMC / OpenAlex / PubMed / Semantic Scholar / CORE / Unpaywall / Crossref), literature review, citation management and BibTeX, manuscript formatting (Nature/ Cell/CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), Zotero integration, patents and regulatory text (US fiscal data / openFDA / database availability / Paperclip full-text papers, FDA/EMA/PMDA documents and trial records), document extraction (MarkItDown / liteparse), parallel web search (Exa / parallel-cli / research-lookup). TRIGGER = find papers / look up a DOI / format BibTeX / literature review / check a citation / patents / regulations / extract PDF text / bulk fetch datasets. SKIP = synthesizing or critiquing paper claims (-> research), publication-grade figures (-> docs-figures), bio-computation (-> scientific).

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.
