assisjpSkilltakeover
Take over an existing branch, pull request, worktree, or agent handoff while preserving the original goal, contributor credit, and concurrent work. Use when the user asks to take over, finish, rescue, or continue someone else's implementation. Do not use to replace a clear request to start new work.

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
7 rules. 6 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
6
Common
Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 18
Keep the > [!NOTE] line only on a forge that shows it as a note box, such as GitHub.
- Common: line 21
Use the verified public name of the model that wrote the comment, and the user's name or forge login.
- Common: line 24
If the harness does not expose a model name, use the harness name.
- Common: line 26
Before posting, check the entire comment, including quoted text and attachments, for secrets and private details.
- Common: line 29
Keep the attribution inside the quote and the actual reply outside it.
- Common: line 38
Write the comment itself in a direct style:
- Common: line 42
Keep it concise and avoid filler, canned thanks, or status narration.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 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.

Leaving PR Comments
Prefix every agent-authored comment left on the user's behalf with this note callout:
> [!NOTE]
> 🤖 **<model> responding on behalf of <user>**
Actual comment starts here.Keep the > [!NOTE] line only on a forge that shows it as a note box, such as
GitHub. On other forges, remove it and keep the robot line as a plain quote.
Use the verified public name of the model that wrote the comment, and the user's name or forge login.
If the harness does not expose a model name, use the harness name. Do not guess.
Before posting, check the entire comment, including quoted text and attachments, for secrets and private details.
Keep the attribution inside the quote and the actual reply outside it. The context line must start with the robot emoji. Do not add a horizontal rule, Setext underline, heading, signature footer, or a second attribution.
Apply this format to top-level PR comments, inline review comments, replies to bots or reviewers, and written explanations used before resolving or dismissing feedback. Do not add it to PR descriptions, commit messages, or text the user explicitly asked to post verbatim without attribution.
Write the comment itself in a direct style:
- Lead with the conclusion.
- Cite the relevant code, behavior, check, or reproduction.
- Keep it concise and avoid filler, canned thanks, or status narration.
- Distinguish verified facts from judgment.
Preview the final Markdown before posting so quoting and blank lines render as shown. After posting, verify that the forge returned the new comment, with its URL or ID. Resolve a review thread only after its response was posted successfully.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
