In this repositoryOne other file it gives its agents.
- glass-testsSkill

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

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

≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Common
Distinctive
Very specific

Very specific:
Read Python/Templates/README.md before changing template content or packaging.
line 8
Distinctive:
Do not assume a Cookiecutter integration update changes the template VSIX payloads.
line 18
Distinctive:
Run the repository guard after changing templates or static assets:
line 22

≈ “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.

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

PTVS Template Updates

Read Python/Templates/README.md before changing template content or packaging. Treat it as the source of truth for template asset and insertion-signing requirements.

Scope

Distinguish these template systems before editing:

Python/Templates contains project and item templates packaged into PTVS template VSIXes.
Python/Product/Cookiecutter contains the Cookiecutter integration and feed handling.
Python/Tests/TestData/Cookiecutter contains Cookiecutter test fixtures.

Do not assume a Cookiecutter integration update changes the template VSIX payloads. Trace which files are packaged.

Update checks

Run the repository guard after changing templates or static assets:

Build\ValidateTemplateAssets.ps1 `
    -TemplateRoot Python\Templates `
    -DocumentationPath Python\Templates\README.md

Also confirm the Web and Django template VSIX projects still package from the staged template tree during signed builds, then run the smallest applicable template or installer build.

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.
