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
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
1
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
- Distinctive: line 20
Write 5-10 hooks for the idea, across angles.
- Very specific: line 28
No fabricated numbers in a hook (truth-telling).
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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
hook-writer
The hook is 80% of the result. Give options worth testing.
Hook angles (mix and match)
- Bold claim (you can back): "You're [doing X] wrong."
- Curiosity gap: "The reason your [thing] isn't working isn't what you think."
- Direct payoff: "3 ways to [result] without [pain]."
- Pattern interrupt / contrarian: "Stop [common advice]."
- Callout to the viewer: "If you [audience trait], watch this."
- Story open loop: "I almost quit - until this."
- Number/specific: specifics beat vague ("$0 to 10k saves in 30 days").
Process
- Write 5-10 hooks for the idea, across angles. Keep them short, concrete, and in the creator's voice. Pair the spoken hook with an on-screen text version (sound-off).
Output
- A ranked list of hooks (spoken + on-screen text), with a one-line note on why each could work.
Guardrails
- The hook must match what the content delivers - no bait-and-switch (
brand-safety). - No fabricated numbers in a hook (
truth-telling). Keep it human, not clickbait-y AI.
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.
