Interactively build the motivation case for filling a research gap — turn "no one has done X" into who is concretely hurt, why the obvious extension doesn't work, why now, and what any solution must satisfy. Use when the user has found a gap (from gap-finder or anywhere else) and asks "why does this gap matter", "is this gap worth filling", "who cares about this", "motivate this problem", "justify working on this", "help me build the motivation", or worries about proposing a method from nowhere. Proceeds Socratically, one question at a time, and converges on a motivation verdict plus solution desiderata — it derives the requirements a solution must meet but never proposes the method itself. Use gap-finder to FIND gaps in a paper; research-idea-stress-test to attack an already-chosen idea or method; literature-triangulation to check whether the gap is already closed; abstract-and-intro-writer to turn a finished motivation into intro prose.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈7
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “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.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
