Applies a change-safety review to any requested file, mail or calendar change: lists every create, modify, move, rename, archive or delete before proposing it, marks destructive items as requiring the user's typed confirmation, proposes versioned file names instead of overwrites, declines to draft bulk destructive operations, and drafts a change journal entry for the user to keep. Use when the user asks to "clean up this folder", "delete the old versions", "reorganise these files", "archive everything older than a year", "rename and move these documents" or "make sure nothing gets overwritten while we work", or when any task is about to create or modify files, emails or calendar items. Do not use for backing up, journalling or restoring a skills folder, use skills-backup-keeper instead. Drafts for human review; never approves, authorises or signs off.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. 2 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 2

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 4

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    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 3 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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
