Common
Most of the 49 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
6
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

If something goes sideways: STOP and re-plan
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 49 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
Resume Feature
Resume in-progress work. If $ARGUMENTS given, match that feature. Otherwise find the most recent active progress file.
Step 1: Find progress
- Search
.lifecycle/plans/for progress files with incomplete tasks ([ ]or[~]) - Also check
docs/05-Plans/as v1.x fallback - If multiple found: list with last-modified timestamps, ask user to select
- If none found: "No in-progress plans found. Try
/recoverfor crashed sessions or/planfor new work."
Step 2: Show status
Feature: [name] | Progress: [N]/[M] tasks
Done: Task 1, Task 2, Task 3
Next: Task 4 — [description]Step 3: Check checkpoints
Look for .lifecycle/checkpoints/[feature]-checkpoint.md. If found, show cognitive state:
Last checkpoint ([time ago]):
Context: [what was happening]
Next steps: [planned next actions]
Gotcha: [warnings for this session]Step 4: Check activity log
Read .lifecycle/activity.md if it exists. Show the last 3 sessions:
Recent sessions:
[2026-03-31T14:30:00Z] auth-system — 4/8 tasks, branch: feat/auth, files: 12
[2026-03-30T10:15:00Z] auth-system — 2/8 tasks, branch: feat/auth, files: 8
[2026-03-29T16:00:00Z] auth-system — 0/8 tasks, branch: feat/auth, files: 3Skip if file doesn't exist or has no entries.
Step 5: Check lessons
Read .lifecycle/lessons/[relevant topics].md for applicable lessons. Also check docs/06-Development/lessons.md as v1.x fallback. Skip if neither exists.
Step 6: Continue
- Read plan file ONLY for the next incomplete task's details
- Continue from next
[ ]or[~]task - Update progress as tasks complete — one line per task, no prose
- Do NOT ask between tasks — execute to completion
- If context limit approaching: run
/checkpoint, commit,/compact, resume - If something goes sideways: STOP and re-plan

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.
Used alongsideProjects with it also use pause, status and 10 more.
Other files people use alongside this one.
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.

MicrosoftSkillnote
Use this skill to record progress, partial findings, hypotheses, and page-anchored evidence while investigating a long document. Call Note aggressively — any time you read a page and confirm, narrow, or update your understanding of the user's question. Triggers include "jot that down", "save this finding", "note that page 7 says X", or (more often) implicit internal signals — you just learned something and want it recoverable later. Notes persist in the session and Review can select among them. Never paraphrase notes back from memory; write them as you go.

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.
