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
5 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
4
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 19
Run git log --since="1 week ago" --oneline --all for recent activity.
- Distinctive: line 20
Run git status to see current uncommitted work.
- Distinctive: line 59
Keep each bullet to one line.
- Distinctive: line 63
If a section has nothing to report, write "(none)" rather than omitting the section.
- Distinctive: line 66
After generating the draft, ask the user:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 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
Weekly Update
Draft a weekly update suitable for stakeholders, pulling from the memory bank and recent git activity. The output should be skimmable in 30 seconds.
Scope: resolve which bank this targets per "Resolving scope" in docs/workflow-contract.md — an optional --scope <path> argument selects a project bank when the repo configures scopes; otherwise the root bank, as always.
Workflow
- Read:
memory-bank/projectbrief.md— what this project ismemory-bank/activeContext.md— current focus and open questionsmemory-bank/progress.md— what works and what's in progressmemory-bank/decisionLog.md— decisions made or changed this week
- Run
git log --since="1 week ago" --oneline --allfor recent activity. - Run
git statusto see current uncommitted work.
Output
Produce an update in this structure:
# [Project name] — Week of [Mon DD, YYYY]
## Headline
[One sentence — the most important thing a stakeholder should know about this week.]
## Shipped this week
- [completed item — what it does, why it matters]
- [completed item]
## In progress
- [active work — what's being built, expected completion if known]
- [active work]
## Up next
- [planned next — what we're picking up next, why]
- [planned next]
## Risks and open questions
- [risk or unresolved decision — impact, what's needed to resolve]
- [risk]
## Decisions
- [decision made or changed this week — why it matters]
- (or write "None this week")
## Asks
- [anything needed from stakeholders — decisions, resources, feedback]
- (or write "None this week")Rules
- Keep each bullet to one line. If something needs more, it belongs in a separate doc with a link from the update.
- "Shipped" means done and verifiable. Don't conflate intent with completion.
- "Risks" should be specific. "Things might be hard" is not a risk. "External API rate limits could block X by Y date unless we get a quota increase" is.
- "Decisions" should be durable choices, not normal task progress.
- If a section has nothing to report, write "(none)" rather than omitting the section. Empty sections are signal too — they tell the reader you considered it.
- This is a stakeholder document, not an engineering log. Skip technical detail unless a stakeholder needs to know it. If a teammate would need more detail, mention there's a longer doc available.
After generating the draft, ask the user:
- Is the headline the right one for this audience?
- Tighter, longer, or about right?
- Format for a specific channel (Slack, email, Confluence) or keep generic?
Revise based on their answer. Then stop.
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.
