The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 8
Use this skill to see a complete example of a skill that keeps core instructions in SKILL.md and loads additional context only when needed.
- Distinctive: line 12
Read this file to understand the minimal, always-loaded guidance.
- Very specific: line 13
If you need detailed rules or a checklist, read references/REFERENCE.md.
- Very specific: line 14
If you need a template for output formatting, open assets/skill-template.md.
- Very specific: line 15
If you need to validate a skill folder, run scripts/validate-skill.sh.
≈ “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.

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.
