Track what the user is waiting on from other people (their GTD Brain Waiting For list). Use when they say "I'm waiting on Sam for…", "I asked Alex to…", "follow up with…", "chase…", "who owes me a reply?", or before a weekend or deadline.

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. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.

≈ “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.

Chase the user's Waiting For list.
If no GTD Brain tool is available, follow /gtdbrain:setup instead of guessing.
If the user names something new they are waiting on, get the Waiting For column id from
list_columns and create_card it there with who and since (today if not said), confirm
in one line, and stop there unless they also want the whole list reviewed.
- Call
list_waiting_for. For each card say who the user is waiting on and since when, and flag the ones that look stale (older than two weeks, or with nosincedate). - For each stale one ask whether to chase it. If yes, get the Next Actions column id from
list_columnsandcreate_carda verb-first follow-up action there (for example "Email Sam about the electrician quote") with a context such ascallsorcomputer, leaving the Waiting For card in place until they answer. - If something has already arrived,
move_cardit to where it belongs orarchive_cardit. - Close with the count of items still open and the next follow-up date to check back.

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.
