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 78 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 20
When the scope's context declares threats, add each declared threat to the brief and ask the adversaries to break its mitigation.
- Distinctive: line 34
Threats: when the context declares threats, reconcile each with mitigation evidence or an explicit disposition per Prove It Works.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 78 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
Interrogate
Adversaries try to break a change or a design. A finding survives only when a run proves it. Report the findings. Do not apply fixes.
Frame
The scope is what the user names. Otherwise it is the branch diff from its merge base with the base branch, through the working tree. State the intent. Call the Skill tool with in-your-own-words. Take the intent from the user's message, the commits, and the PR description. Ask the user when the intent is unclear.
Fan out
Call the Skill tool with arena. Run its Phase A steps 3 and 4 and its Phase B, with four changes. Use the interrogate reviewers role in place of arena runners, one adversary per entry. Its default is one each on fable, opus, sonnet. Label the adversaries Adversary A, B, and so on to match the entry count, and put each label in its brief, so arms stay distinct when they share a model. Copy the scope's uncommitted changes into each worktree. Spawn each adversary as general-purpose. In place of the arena task and rationale, give each adversary the scope, the intent, and this brief:
Break this change. Prove each finding with a run against the real code, such as a failing test, a repro script, or command output that shows the wrong behavior. For a design or plan, run a prototype or probe the current tree. Keep repros in your own worktree. Report each finding with a title, the exact command, the output it printed, and the output the intent requires. Leave out anything you did not run. That covers style, naming, structure, and risks that need a future change to matter. No findings is a valid result.
When the scope's context declares threats, add each declared threat to the brief and ask the adversaries to break its mitigation.
If a spawn rejects a default entry, also open a separate PR to update this step's default and skills/setup-pstack/examples/pstack-models.md in the pstack repository, the file the resolver reads. Do not block the review on the slug issue. Never treat an alias entry as a rejected slug.
Verify
Verify each finding per arena Phase F by rerunning its command. Keep a finding when the output shows the failure and the failure breaks the intent. Drop the rest. Before you merge anything, state which models the adversaries ran on and count arms that shared a model as one adversary. Merge findings that share a root cause.
Skip arena Phases C, D, and E. Adversaries find different failures, so the verdict keeps every verified finding, not one adversary's list.
Output
- Intent: the restatement.
- Findings: for each verified finding, the command, its output, how it breaks the intent, and the adversaries that found it. Say "no verified findings" when none survive.
- Threats: when the context declares threats, reconcile each with mitigation evidence or an explicit disposition per Prove It Works.
- Dropped: for each adversary, the count of dropped findings and why.
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.

- 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.
