    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

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

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    IF << $ARGUMENTS is not valid kebab-case

    line 28
  2. Distinctive:

    IF << <skills-root>/$ARGUMENTS/ exists

    line 30
  3. Distinctive:

    ASK << Proceed? | Yes | No

    line 33
  4. Distinctive:

    Never overwrite an existing skill directory

    line 44

≈ “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.
Files
SKILL.md

Runtime required. This skill uses Canopy tree notation; canopy-runtime must be active.

Detect canopy-runtime — present if either:

  • canopy-runtime/SKILL.md exists under .claude/skills/, .github/skills/, or .agents/skills/, OR
  • a canopy-runtime marker block exists in CLAUDE.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md.

If neither is present — install canopy-runtime first (see the compatibility field for the source and install options), then re-invoke this skill.

Do not interpret the ## Tree without canopy-runtime active.

New skill name: $ARGUMENTS

Tree

  • scaffold-skill
    • validate $ARGUMENTS is a valid kebab-case identifier
    • IF << $ARGUMENTS is not valid kebab-case
      • END Skill name must be kebab-case (e.g. my-skill)
    • IF << <skills-root>/$ARGUMENTS/ exists
      • END Skill already exists — choose a different name or delete the existing one first
    • SHOW_PLAN >> skill name | files to create | directories to create
    • ASK << Proceed? | Yes | No

      • VERIFY_EXPECTED << assets/verify/verify-expected.md
    • ELSE
      • Cancelled by user.

Rules

  • Never overwrite an existing skill directory
  • Generated SKILL.md must use the markdown list tree syntax (* nested lists), include the compatibility field, and open with the safety preamble guard block
  • Skill file must be named exactly SKILL.md (uppercase) per agentskills.io spec

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.
