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
4 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 7
If no GTD Brain tool is available, follow /gtdbrain:setup instead of guessing.
- Very specific: line 9
Call list_columns to get the column ids, then list_cards with the Inbox column id.
- Distinctive: line 19
Wait for the user's answer before acting on each card.
- Very specific: line 20
When the Inbox is empty, summarise what changed and suggest /gtdbrain:what-now.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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
Process the user's GTD Brain Inbox to zero, one card at a time.
If no GTD Brain tool is available, follow /gtdbrain:setup instead of guessing.
- Call
list_columnsto get the column ids, thenlist_cardswith the Inbox column id. - Take the cards oldest first. For each, state the title and ask what it really is, then act
with a tool:
- one step → phrase it verb-first,
move_cardto Next Actions, thenupdate_cardwith a context if the user gives one (list_contextsshows the valid ids); - more than one step →
create_carda project in Projects andcreate_cardits first next action in Next Actions, thenarchive_cardthe raw Inbox card; - waiting on someone →
move_cardto Waiting For, thenupdate_cardwithwhoandsince; - a someday idea →
move_cardto Someday/Maybe; - done or no longer matters →
archive_card.
- one step → phrase it verb-first,
- Wait for the user's answer before acting on each card; never batch-decide for them.
- When the Inbox is empty, summarise what changed and suggest
/gtdbrain:what-now.
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
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.
