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, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 20 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 29
Should this be one PR or multiple?
- Distinctive: line 35
Do all tests pass?
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 20 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.

Complete Contribution Strategy - Context Aware
I'll analyze everything needed for your successful contribution based on your current context and work.
Strategic Thinking Process
<think>
For a successful contribution, I need to analyze:- Current Work Context
- What has been done in this session?
- Are we mid-implementation or post-completion?
- What type of changes were made (feature, fix, refactor)?
- Is the work ready for contribution?
- Project Type & Standards
- Is this open source, company, or personal project?
- What are the contribution guidelines?
- Are there specific workflows to follow?
- What quality gates exist (tests, lint, reviews)?
- Contribution Strategy
- Should this be one PR or multiple?
- Which issues does this work address?
- What documentation needs updating?
- Who should review this?
- Pre-flight Checklist
- Do all tests pass?
- Is the code properly formatted?
- Are there any lint warnings?
- Is documentation updated?
- Are commits well-organized?
</think>
Token Optimization
Expected range: 500–1,500 tokens (initial), 100 tokens (cache hit)
Caching: Caches project structure in .claude/cache/understand/project_structure.json for 7 days.
Early exit: Returns immediately if CONTRIBUTING.md already exists and is current.
Patterns used: Grep-before-Read, early exit, template-based generation, caching
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
Reviews can't be read right now.
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.
