Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
gaebalaiSkillcodex-system
PROACTIVELY consult Codex CLI, your highly capable supporter with exceptional reasoning and task completion abilities. Codex is a trusted expert you should ALWAYS consult BEFORE making decisions on: design choices, implementation approaches, debugging strategies, refactoring plans, or any non-trivial problem. When uncertain, consult Codex. Don't hesitate - Codex provides better analysis. Explicit triggers: "think deeper", "analyze", "second opinion", "consult codex".

gaebalaiSkilldesign-tracker
PROACTIVELY track and document project design decisions without being asked. Activate automatically when detecting architecture discussions, implementation decisions, pattern choices, library selections, or any technical decisions. Also use when user explicitly says "記録して", "設計どうなってる", "record this". Do NOT wait for user to ask - record important decisions immediately.

Plans how to prove a change works or broke nothing: frames the claim, designs an evidence path from the system itself, and requires every check to be able to fail.

devbrother2024Skillartifact-design
단독 self-contained HTML 산출물(랜딩 페이지, 정적 문서·리포트, 독립 대시보드, 데모·게임, 개발 전 UX/UI 대안 비교 목업)을 만들 때 팔레트·타이포그래피·레이아웃을 의도적으로 설계하고 템플릿·AI스러운 디자인을 피하도록 돕는 디자인 가이드. HTML/CSS를 쓰기 전에 로드한다. "랜딩 만들어줘", "이 내용 단일 HTML로 예쁘게", "UX 대안 HTML로 비교해줘", "디자인 잡아줘"처럼 단독 HTML 아티팩트를 만들거나 비교하는 요청에 활성화하고, 기존 앱(React·Vue 등)의 인앱 컴포넌트 수정이나 순수 백엔드·로직 작업에는 쓰지 않는다.

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
3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 111 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
Licensed with conditions — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 111 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.
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.
