    deploy-platform

    Deploy this AgentOS using its own provider instructions, configure JWT verification, and verify the public service. Use for first deployment, redeployment, or production configuration changes.

  • agno-agiSkill

    setup-platform

    Set up this AgentOS from a fresh clone — confirm Docker, configure .env, boot the containers, prove the MCP endpoint live, connect the AgentOS UI, then build the user's first agent. Use when the user asks to set up the platform, get started, or bring this repo up on a new machine.

  • MicrosoftSkill

    create-agent

    Create a new MCS2 Copilot Studio agent and PAC-connected local workspace with `pac copilot init`, then optionally add modern instructions, skills, tools, knowledge, and settings before synchronizing it. Use when the user asks to create, scaffold, initialize, or build a Copilot Studio agent.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 64 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 5

    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:

    Read the target, its tests, and relevant surrounding code.

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    If that behavior lacks tests, add focused coverage and run it against the unchanged code.

    line 17
  3. Distinctive:

    Run tests and checks that cover behavior the refactor can affect.

    line 21
  4. Distinctive:

    Do not add product scope or absorb unrelated cleanup.

    line 29
  5. Distinctive:

    Prefer a few clear edits over a broad rewrite.

    line 30

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 64 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.

Improve

Make code easier to understand without changing what it does. Reduce the layers a reader must trace and the hidden state they must remember.

Process

  1. Identify the target from the request, current diff, or recently changed code.
  2. Read the target, its tests, and relevant surrounding code. State the behavior that must not change.
  3. If that behavior lacks tests, add focused coverage and run it against the unchanged code. Commit the passing test-only change before refactoring. If automated tests cannot exercise the behavior, explain why and give other evidence.
  4. Find unnecessary complexity, duplication, dead code, weak names, awkward boundaries, and abstractions that cost more than they help.
  5. Make focused improvements by deleting, deduplicating, renaming, simplifying, extracting, or inlining.
  6. Preserve public interfaces, data shapes, errors, and user-visible behavior unless the user explicitly asks to change them.
  7. Run tests and checks that cover behavior the refactor can affect. Report what improved, what behavior was preserved, and the evidence.

Return

State what became simpler, what behavior stayed the same, and which checks prove it. Name any behavior that remains unverified.

Boundaries

  • Do not add product scope or absorb unrelated cleanup.
  • Prefer a few clear edits over a broad rewrite.
  • Preserve behavior even when a redesign would be easier.

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.
