grid-help

Skill4 starsChanged 8 days agoMITView on GitHub

Explain how to use the-grid (which slash command or subagent to reach for, orchestrators vs specialists, the four factories). Use when the user asks "how do I use the-grid", "what can I do here" or "how do I add a skill/agent/automation".

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

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

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    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
  1. Very specific:

    Read sections/orientation.md for the summary to answer from.

    line 14
  2. Distinctive:

    Don't reproduce their content — hand off:

    line 18
  3. Distinctive:

    If the question is deeper than a pointer — which template to pick, how a pattern composes, how the delegation topology works — read the …

    line 37
  4. Distinctive:

    Read a section only when its condition applies.

    line 43

≈ “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.

grid-help

A live, in-session guide to the-grid. Answer from the summary in sections/orientation.md; point to USAGE.md (repo root) for the full walkthrough rather than reproducing it verbatim — it changes independently of this skill.

Quick orientation

Answering well

  • Give a pointer, not a tutorial. One or two lines plus the file to read.
  • Check before asserting. SKILLS.md is generated and current; your memory of what's wired is not. Same for which agents exist — read ~/.claude/agents/.
  • Private projects: mechanism yes, names never. A machine may run a project composed from roles outside this repo (GRID_PRIVATE_ROLES_DIR, gated in gitignored machines/<host>.local.txt). Explain how that works to anyone who asks; never enumerate the roles of a private desk in this repo or in a shared session.

If the question is deeper than a pointer — which template to pick, how a pattern composes, how the delegation topology works — read the relevant section of USAGE.md, README.md, or CLAUDE.md rather than guessing.

Sections

Read a section only when its condition applies; do not preload them.

  • sections/orientation.md: read before answering any question about using the-grid

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.
