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.
TomGranotSkilladd-anydoc
Add local office-document-to-Markdown conversion to NanoClaw agent containers with the pinned Firecrawl AnyDoc CLI. Use when agents need to read attached Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OpenDocument, RTF, EPUB, CSV, or text-based PDF files without uploading them to a hosted parser.

add-clidash
Add clidash — a zero-dependency, read-only web dashboard that derives its tabs and tables at runtime from any CLI that lists resources as JSON. Ships pre-wired for NanoClaw's ncl CLI (agent groups, sessions, channels, users, roles), plus message-activity charts, a log tail, and a read-only file viewer for group skills/CLAUDE.md/profiles.

qwibitaiSkilladd-iron-proxy
Install or refresh Iron Proxy and its official Iron Control web console for NanoClaw. Use when selecting the Iron gateway, adding its management UI, configuring credentials and grants, or restoring the proxy, approval bridge, and agent guidance.

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
6 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 18 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 9
Check for updates to locally installed skills by fetching the latest from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs on GitHub and comparing against …
- Distinctive: line 24
If you cannot determine which tool you are, ask the user.
- Distinctive: line 40
Run the check script:
- Very specific: line 61
If ALL_UP_TO_DATE: tell the user all skills are up to date and stop
- Distinctive: line 65
Ask the user if they want to apply this update
- Distinctive: line 79
After processing all skills, print a summary:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 18 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
Update Skills
Check for updates to locally installed skills by fetching the latest from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs on GitHub and comparing against the local skills directory.
Configuration
- Remote repo:
https://github.com/kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs.git - Scripts location: Bundled in this skill's
scripts/directory
Target directory by tool
| Tool | Default target directory |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills |
| Copilot | ~/.copilot/skills |
| Pi | ~/.pi/agent/skills |
If you cannot determine which tool you are, ask the user.
Workflow
1. Determine target directory
Set the target directory based on the table above. Use the variable TARGET_DIR in subsequent steps.
Also resolve SKILL_DIR to the absolute path of this locally installed skill directory. Typical values:
- Claude Code:
~/.claude/skills/update-skills - Copilot:
~/.copilot/skills/update-skills - Pi:
~/.pi/agent/skills/update-skills
2. Check for updates
Run the check script:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/check-updates.sh" "$TARGET_DIR"3. Parse the output
The script outputs one line per skill with a status prefix:
| Prefix | Meaning |
UP_TO_DATE:<name> | No changes |
CHANGED:<name> | Files differ — diff follows until END_DIFF line |
MISSING_LOCALLY:<name> | Exists in repo but missing locally |
ALL_UP_TO_DATE | No updates available at all |
Skills that exist locally but not in the remote repo are ignored.
4. Present results to the user
- If
ALL_UP_TO_DATE: tell the user all skills are up to date and stop - Otherwise, FOR EACH
CHANGEDorMISSING_LOCALLYskill:- List the skill name and summarise what changed (files added/removed/modified)
- Show the diff in a code block
- Ask the user if they want to apply this update
5. Apply updates
For each skill the user approves, run:
bash "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/apply-update.sh" "$TARGET_DIR" <skill-name>Report success or failure for each.
6. Summary
After processing all skills, print a summary:
- How many skills were updated
- How many were skipped
- How many were already up to date
Finally, ask the user if they wish to use the /update-agents skill to sync any agents from the remote repo.
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.
