We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 24 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 18
No folders for organization - use links and index notes instead
- Very specific: line 22
Use Obsidian [[wikilinks]] syntax: [[Note Title]]
- Distinctive: line 42
Use Title Case for filename
- Distinctive: line 43
Write content as a unit of learning (per vault rules)
- Very specific: line 44
Add [[wikilinks]] to related notes at the bottom
- Distinctive: line 45
If part of a numbered sequence, use the hierarchical numbering scheme
- Very specific: line 49
Search for [[Note Title]] across the vault to find backlinks:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 24 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.

- No folders for organization - use links and index notes instead
Linking
- Use Obsidian
[[wikilinks]]syntax:[[Note Title]] - Notes link to dependencies/related notes at the bottom

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.

Other files people use alongside this one.
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.
boyingliu01Skillbatch-grill-me
A relentless interview that asks every frontier question at once, round by round. Thin alias of `grilling` (#540) — upstream mattpocock/skills absorbed this protocol into grilling; XP-Gate keeps this name as the sprint-flow Phase 2 entry point so orchestration docs stay stable.

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.
