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
12 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 26 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 9
Write one Sketch as an HTML file and publish it on the public viewer.
- Distinctive: line 20
Write from the template.
- Distinctive: line 31
No network. Put every style, shape, glyph, and script in the fragment.
- Very specific: line 39
Avoid filter, backdrop-filter, and large blurred shadows.
- Distinctive: line 40
Run no endless loop. Keep script work short: the viewer gives up when the sketch does not report a size in time.
- Distinctive: line 41
Keep the element count low.
- Very specific: line 47
Use cloud mode only when one of these holds: the user asks to save, keep, or update a cloud diagram, or to search cloud diagrams.
- Very specific: line 49
If login fails or times out, use short-link mode and tell the user why.
- Distinctive: line 50
If the user pastes a viewer URL, load pointers.
- Very specific: line 56
Write the fragment to .cache/sketch/<name>.html.
- Very specific: line 57
Run $BOARD_CLI encode-source --file <file> --out .cache/sketch --title <title>.
- Very specific: line 58
Run $BOARD_CLI preview-diagram --file <skt>, where <skt> is the file that encode-source returned.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 26 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.
Files
sketch
Write one Sketch as an HTML file and publish it on the public viewer.
Done when a tool url is shown.
CLI
The shared CLI reference defines $BOARD_CLI.
- Load cli before the first
$BOARD_CLIcall of a session.
Template
Write from the template.
- Load template.md and write from it.
Render Environment
The viewer mounts the fragment in its own document. Write for this environment.
- The fragment renders in a sandboxed
iframe. Board and the fragment cannot reach each other's CSS or scripts. Scripts run when the sketch mounts. :root,html, andbodyselectors act on that document (zero margin, transparent). Abodybackground paints the diagram only; anhtmlbackground is ignored.- The frame takes no pointer input by default, so
:hoverand drag do nothing. A sketch may use click handlers. The canvas pans and zooms over it. - No network. Put every style, shape, glyph, and script in the fragment.
Performance
The frame is resized by its content and exported as one still image. Write for that.
- Draw a still diagram. Add animation only when the user asks for it.
- Animate only
transformandopacity. A change in size resizes the frame on every step. - Avoid
filter,backdrop-filter, and large blurred shadows. They are slow to paint. - Run no endless loop. Keep script work short: the viewer gives up when the sketch does not report a size in time.
- Keep the element count low.
Mode
Pick short link or cloud. Short link is the default.
- Use cloud mode only when one of these holds: the user asks to save, keep, or update a cloud diagram, or to search cloud diagrams; the user pastes a
#b:link; this session already created the diagram in cloud mode. Load cloud flow. - Otherwise use short-link mode.
- If
loginfails or times out, use short-link mode and tell the user why. - If the user pastes a viewer URL, load pointers.
Short link flow
Publish unsigned.
- Write the fragment to
.cache/sketch/<name>.html.<name>is a short English name for the diagram. - Run
$BOARD_CLI encode-source --file <file> --out .cache/sketch --title <title>. Always write a short title that names the diagram. - Run
$BOARD_CLI preview-diagram --file <skt>, where<skt>is thefilethatencode-sourcereturned. - Show only the
urlfield and stop. - To change, edit the HTML file and publish again. That creates a new short url.
- To keep, use cloud mode (
#b:).
Boundaries
- CLI contract:
$BOARD_CLI --help.
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.
