The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

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

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Use web_search to find Answer Overflow results:

    line 16
  3. Very specific:

    Add /m/ prefix or .md suffix to get markdown-formatted content:

    line 25
  4. Very specific:

    When making requests, the API checks for Accept: text/markdown header to return markdown format.

    line 42
  5. Distinctive:

    Check the server/channel name to understand the context (e.g., official support vs community)

    line 80

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Answer Overflow Skill

Search indexed Discord community discussions via Answer Overflow. Great for finding solutions to coding problems, library issues, and community Q&A.

What is Answer Overflow?

Answer Overflow indexes public Discord support channels and makes them searchable via Google and direct API access. Perfect for finding answers that only exist in Discord conversations.

Quick Search

Use web_search to find Answer Overflow results:

# Search for a topic (Answer Overflow results often appear in Google)
web_search "site:answeroverflow.com prisma connection pooling"

Fetching Thread Content

Markdown URLs

Add /m/ prefix or .md suffix to get markdown-formatted content:

# Standard URL
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789

# With .md suffix (alternative)
https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1234567890123456789.md

Using web_fetch

# Fetch a thread in markdown format
web_fetch url="https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/<message-id>"

Accept Header

When making requests, the API checks for Accept: text/markdown header to return markdown format.

Tips

  • Results are real Discord conversations, so context may be informal
  • Threads often have back-and-forth discussion before the solution
  • Check the server/channel name to understand the context (e.g., official support vs community)
  • Many open source projects index their Discord support channels here

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.
