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. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 41 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
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
- Distinctive: line 58
Use one sample in that file (minimal default).
- Distinctive: line 62
Prefer ≤ ~12 primary elements unless the user asked for more.
- Very specific: line 69
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 71
If login fails or times out, use short-link mode and tell the user why.
- Distinctive: line 72
If the user pastes a viewer URL, load pointers.
- Very specific: line 78
No scene to draw (and not an update): show https://luluboard.app/ and stop.
- Very specific: line 79
Write the Source to .cache/mermaid/<name>.mmd.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 41 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
mermaid
List the catalog, or author an open catalog type and open it on the public viewer.
Done when the list is shown, or a tool url is shown.
Syntax
Author Mermaid 12.1.0 built-in syntax. Drawer renders flowchart with Pele 1.7.0 and mindmap with a custom SVG pipeline, not Mermaid.js.
CLI
The shared CLI reference defines $BOARD_CLI.
- Load cli before the first
$BOARD_CLIcall of a session.
References
Load only what the current interface needs.
- list — load catalog only.
- route — after an open type is chosen, load that one file from catalog.
Interfaces
Two entries. Do not author during list.
- list — slash
list, or the ask is which types exist. Load catalog. Show the class table, including Open. Stop. - route — any draw ask. Pick exactly one catalog type. If it is not open, say it is not open, then stop. If it is open, load only that file. Author. Preview.
Route
The catalog is the type boundary. Open is flowchart (flowchart /
graph), mindmap, and the Design group (sequence, class, state,
er, requirement, c4, usecase, eventmodeling, railroad).
flowchart-elk is the flowchart type.
- A named type or alias wins.
- Else pick the type that matches what must be visible.
- Two fit → pick one; do not stop to ask.
- None fit → ask one line, then stop.
- A closed type → say it is not open, then stop. Do not author.
- Source already in hand and the ask is to publish it → skip Author; run the Short link flow.
Author
What to write, after the open type file is loaded.
- Use one sample in that file (minimal default). Flowchart: one edge-meaning category. Mindmap: one root, indented branches. Design: Pele preview; Title and Source.
- Replace labels; keep the sample's node and edge kinds.
- Prefer ≤ ~12 primary elements unless the user asked for more.
- Mint without
%% style. On update, leave those lines unchanged.
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. - 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.
- No scene to draw (and not an update): show
https://luluboard.app/and stop. - Write the Source to
.cache/mermaid/<name>.mmd.<name>is a short English name for the diagram. - Run
$BOARD_CLI preview-diagram --file <file>. - Show only the
urlfield and stop. - To change, edit the file and publish again. That creates a new short url.
- To keep, use cloud mode (
#b:).
Open wording
Show the url. One line.
Boundaries
- CLI contract:
$BOARD_CLI --help. - CLI success completes the skill; do not open the URL, drive the viewer, or screenshot the layout unless the user explicitly requests visual verification.
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.
