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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Ask which: validate the implementation, generate a checklist, or analyze the spec.
- Very specific: line 15
Read ../spec-driven-development/references/workflow-phases.md, section "Phase 5".
- Very specific: line 16
Use "Drift Detection Prompt", "Post-Implementation Validation Prompt" and "Linear Walkthrough Prompt" in …
- Very specific: line 26
Run node ../spec-driven-development/scripts/sdd-check.mjs specs/<feature> first.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files

Paths below are relative to this file. Resolve them before running anything.
Ask which: validate the implementation, generate a checklist, or analyze the spec.
Validate:
Read ../spec-driven-development/references/workflow-phases.md, section "Phase 5".
Use "Drift Detection Prompt", "Post-Implementation Validation Prompt" and "Linear Walkthrough Prompt" in ../spec-driven-development/references/prompt-patterns.md.
Gate: "Gate 5" and "Gate C" in ../spec-driven-development/references/quality-gates.md.
Produce: validation.md, a drift report, walkthrough.md, formats in ../spec-driven-development/references/output-formats.md.
Adversary (levels M and L): use "Adversary Prompt". Run it in an agent that did not write the code, in its own worktree or scratch copy, on a different model family when available. It tries to break each [MUST] and [UNCHANGED] AC against the real code. Findings from the authoring session do not count as this check.
A plausible bypass found by reading is worth reproducing: state the command and the output that would confirm it. A finding is confirmed only with a command, its output, and the output the spec requires. Everything else goes to a Dropped list with a reason each; naming and style findings are dropped as out of scope.
Gate 5 stays fail or inconclusive until every finding is rerun or dropped.
Checklist: read "Generated Checklists" in ../spec-driven-development/references/quality-gates.md and "Checklist Generation Prompt" in the prompt file.
Analyze: read "Analyze Prompt" in the prompt file and "Analyze Report" in ../spec-driven-development/references/output-formats.md.
Run node ../spec-driven-development/scripts/sdd-check.mjs specs/<feature> first. Fix its findings before judging anything it cannot check.
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.
