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
2 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 10 edited versions we read keep these.
2
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 13
Ask only for missing information that changes this task.
- Distinctive: line 29
Do not treat a survey intention or a competitor review as willingness to pay.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 10 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.
Files
Validate the idea before a large build
Start here
Validation means testing a business assumption with real evidence.
First useful outcome: Write a problem hypothesis and a low-cost test. Ask only for missing information that changes this task. Inspect the existing project and use synthetic data before touching a merchant store. Explain the next action and its expected result in plain language; offer a recommended default with its tradeoff.
Guided workflow
- Describe the merchant, recurring task, current workaround and expected measurable improvement.
- Combine public app-market-research with direct interviews; keep qualitative complaints separate from conversion evidence.
- Define the riskiest assumption, experiment, success threshold and stop/pivot criterion before running it.
- Build only the smallest useful prototype after reviewing evidence; preserve negative findings.
Check it worked
Return evidence, sample limitations, decision and next experiment instead of a fabricated market score. Report what was changed, what was tested, and what still needs account access or live verification. Do not claim production readiness or approval from generated code alone.
If you get stuck
Do not treat a survey intention or a competitor review as willingness to pay. Give one safe next step and a redacted error example, not a list of speculative fixes.
Safety and optional depth
Use only the user's selected project/accounts. Never read credential caches or request secrets in chat; the operator configures the application's approved secret store. Ask before live deployment, store mutations, billing, publication or paid runs unless that exact action is already authorized. No MCP service is required by this plugin.
For concrete examples in an existing project, read only the relevant section of technical-guide.md. These retained v1.x examples are version-sensitive, not the default template. Verify SDKs, schema fields, CLI flags and platform rules with official documentation before using them.
Example request: "Use app-validation to help me with this task. Explain each change and verify it before moving on."
Does it work?

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.
