We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 5 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

• 5

  Common

  Most of the 36 edited versions we read keep these.

• 0

  Distinctive

  This author's own choices. Worth a look.

• 0

  Very specific

  Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

1. Common:

   When we decide a new API is the right design, migrate callers and remove the old API in the same refactor wave instead of preserving …

   line 9
2. Common:

   Do not keep legacy API paths alive only because internal callers still exist

   line 12
3. Common:

   Treat temporary adapters as exceptional and time-boxed, not default architecture

   line 14
4. Common:

   Update tests to assert the new contract, and delete tests that only protect pre-refactor implementation details

   line 15
5. Common:

   No external users depend on backward compatibility

   line 18

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 36 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.

  1. TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone★ 18same name

  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.

• Used alongsideProjects with it also use principle-explain-the-number, poteto-mode and 9 more.

  Other files people use alongside this one.

  How we pick theseFiles 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.

    principle-explain-the-number

    Apply before you trust, report, or act on a number you measured: a speedup, a regression, a throughput, a latency, or an eval result. Find what limits it, and rule out that it measured something other than the work you think.

    poteto-mode

    poteto's agent style for concise, detailed responses, deliberate subagents, unslopped prose, simple code, and verified work. Use for poteto, /poteto-mode, or requests to work in this style.

  • Xia-AtaraxiaSkill

    make-bot-ui

    Builds a small web page whose buttons wake an agent over a webhook: a local server keeps the sender key server-side and POSTs JSON to a webhook-triggered routine, and the page is exposed on the existing Tailscale node. Use for \"make a bot UI\", \"a dashboard with buttons that trigger the agent\", \"wake the bot from a page\", handing a webhook sender key to the server without pasting it in chat, or putting that UI on the tailnet. Not for general frontend work - use principle-frontend; not for tailnet health or reachability - use tailscale.

  • ianclearySkill

    poteto-help

    Guides users through pstack setup, /poteto-mode, and picking the skill, playbook, or principle for a task. Type /poteto-help with a question.

  • Xia-AtaraxiaSkill

    benchmark-checklist

    Vets performance measurements for the limiter, tuning, physical limits, errors, repeatability, relevance, and proof that timed work happened. It applies to 'check this benchmark', 'report this speedup', measured regressions, and choosing a library or configuration from numbers. It reports spread and gaps before drawing a conclusion. Not for general testing policy or choosing test oracles - use principle-testing.

  • fullerzzSkill

    create-formal-verification-skill

    Generate a reusable project-local skill for model checking or proving code-linked properties. Use explicitly for /create-formal-verification-skill, model-checking a race, or proving an invariant; UI and service journey checks belong to create-verification-skill.
