LesaniSkillwriting-beats
Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

GoogleSkillsetup-matt-pocock-skills
Configure this repo for the engineering skills — set up its issue tracker, triage label vocabulary, and domain doc layout. Run once before first use of the other engineering skills.

liufeng1976Skillsetup-ts-deep-modules
Wire dependency-cruiser into a TypeScript repo so each package is a deep module — implementation hidden in subfolders, reachable only through its entry-point files. User-invoked.
Also in 42 projects that use this
SethGammonSkillascii-diagram
Generate perfectly aligned ASCII diagrams — architecture, flow, sequence, box-and-arrow. Uses a programmatic character-grid approach so alignment is guaranteed by math, not token prediction. Includes post-render verification.

simo97Skillmigrate-to-shoehorn
Migrate test files from `as` type assertions to @total-typescript/shoehorn. Use when user mentions shoehorn, wants to replace `as` in tests, or needs partial test data.

writing-shape
Take a markdown file of raw material and shape it into an article through a conversational session — drafting candidate openings, growing the piece paragraph by paragraph, arguing about format (lists, tables, callouts, quotes) at each step. Use when the user has a pile of notes, fragments, or a rough draft and wants help turning it into something publishable.

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
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 176 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 74
Use this output format:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 176 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.

Triage Skill - Backlog Analysis
Process
1. Setup
linear init # if .linear.yaml doesn't exist2. Fetch the backlog
linear issues list --state Backlog --format full --limit 100Verify: confirm issues are returned before proceeding. If empty, check team context with linear init.
3. Analyze dependencies
linear deps --team ENG4. Filter by priority and labels
# Urgent (P1)
linear issues list --state Backlog --priority 1 --format full
# High priority (P2)
linear issues list --state Backlog --priority 2 --format full
# Customer issues
linear issues list --labels customer --format full
# Bugs in backlog
linear issues list --state Backlog --labels bug --format full
# Combined filters
linear issues list --state Backlog --priority 1 --labels customer --format full5. Identify issues
Flag issues matching these patterns:
| Pattern | Criteria | Action |
| Stale | No updates 30+ days | Ping assignee or close |
| Very stale | No updates 60+ days | Close with comment |
| Blocked | Dependencies unresolved | Escalate blocker |
| Orphaned | No assignee + no activity | Assign or close |
| Priority mismatch | P1/P2 but blocked | Escalate the blocker first |
Verify: cross-check flagged issues against dependency graph from step 3. Blocked issues with completed blockers should be unblocked immediately:
linear issues update ENG-123 --priority 2
linear issues comment ENG-123 --body "Triaged: Needs unblocking before sprint"6. Generate report
Use this output format:
BACKLOG TRIAGE: Team ENG
════════════════════════════════════════
URGENT ATTENTION (3)
────────────────────────────────────────
ENG-101 [Stale 45d] Login bug - P1 but no activity
ENG-102 [Blocked] Payment flow - blocked by ENG-99
ENG-103 [Orphaned] API refactor - no owner
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS
────────────────────────────────────────
1. Unblock ENG-102: Complete ENG-99 or remove dependency
2. Assign ENG-103: Needs owner or close if abandoned
3. Update ENG-101: Stale P1 needs attention
HEALTH SUMMARY
────────────────────────────────────────
Total issues: 45
Blocked: 8 (17%)
Stale: 12 (26%)
Healthy: 25 (55%)Verify: confirm every recommended action references a real issue ID from the fetched data.

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.
