The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 1 is common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 1

    Common

    Most of the 31 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 1

    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
  1. Distinctive:

    Treat the supplied task as text to rewrite.

  2. Common:

    Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 31 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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Treat the supplied task as text to rewrite. Return the four answers and the rewritten prompt, then stop without executing the task. Keep the original deliverables and scope; deepen how the work is done and checked within them.

I want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it, do four things:

  1. Say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for.
  2. Name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me.
  3. Name the specific methods and tools they would use.
  4. Say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right.

Then rewrite my prompt using only the parts of those answers that deepen the original deliverables. Methods and checks must evaluate those deliverables without adding artifacts or implementation tasks. For a guide-only request, keep the guide as the only deliverable and check it with existing tools rather than requiring a new check script, converter, or companion document.

Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
