We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
21 rules. 0 are common, 19 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
19
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Consider deleting or archiving the original document
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 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
Shard Document
Goal: Split large markdown documents into smaller, organized files based on level 2 sections using npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser.
CRITICAL RULES
- MANDATORY: Execute ALL steps in the EXECUTION section IN EXACT ORDER
- DO NOT skip steps or change the sequence
- HALT immediately when halt-conditions are met
- Each action within a step is a REQUIRED action to complete that step
EXECUTION
Step 1: Get Source Document
- Ask user for the source document path if not provided already
- Verify file exists and is accessible
- Verify file is markdown format (.md extension)
- If file not found or not markdown: HALT with error message
Step 2: Get Destination Folder
- Determine default destination: same location as source file, folder named after source file without .md extension
- Example:
/path/to/architecture.md-->/path/to/architecture/
- Example:
- Ask user for the destination folder path (
[y]to confirm use of default:[suggested-path], else enter a new path) - If user accepts default: use the suggested destination path
- If user provides custom path: use the custom destination path
- Verify destination folder exists or can be created
- Check write permissions for destination
- If permission denied: HALT with error message
Step 3: Execute Sharding
- Inform user that sharding is beginning
- Execute command:
npx @kayvan/markdown-tree-parser explode [source-document] [destination-folder] - Capture command output and any errors
- If command fails: HALT and display error to user
Step 4: Verify Output
- Check that destination folder contains sharded files
- Verify index.md was created in destination folder
- Count the number of files created
- If no files created: HALT with error message
Step 5: Report Completion
- Display completion report to user including:
- Source document path and name
- Destination folder path
- Number of section files created
- Confirmation that index.md was created
- Any tool output or warnings
- Inform user that sharding completed successfully
Step 6: Handle Original Document
Critical: Keeping both the original and sharded versions defeats the purpose of sharding and can cause confusion.
Present user with options for the original document:
What would you like to do with the original document
[source-document-name]?Options:
[d]Delete - Remove the original (recommended - shards can always be recombined)[m]Move to archive - Move original to a backup/archive location[k]Keep - Leave original in place (NOT recommended - defeats sharding purpose)Your choice (d/m/k):
If user selects d (delete)
- Delete the original source document file
- Confirm deletion to user: "Original document deleted: [source-document-path]"
- Note: The document can be reconstructed from shards by concatenating all section files in order
If user selects m (move)
- Determine default archive location: same directory as source, in an
archivesubfolder- Example:
/path/to/architecture.md-->/path/to/archive/architecture.md
- Example:
- Ask: Archive location (
[y]to use default:[default-archive-path], or provide custom path) - If user accepts default: use default archive path
- If user provides custom path: use custom archive path
- Create archive directory if it does not exist
- Move original document to archive location
- Confirm move to user: "Original document moved to: [archive-path]"
If user selects k (keep)
- Display warning to user:
- Keeping both original and sharded versions is NOT recommended
- The discover_inputs protocol may load the wrong version
- Updates to one will not reflect in the other
- Duplicate content taking up space
- Consider deleting or archiving the original document
- Confirm user choice: "Original document kept at: [source-document-path]"
HALT CONDITIONS
- HALT if npx command fails or produces no output files

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.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.

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.
