The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
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 15
Create a new core/{topic}-guide.md file for the topic specified in $ARGUMENTS.
- Very specific: line 21
Fetch official docs: Use WebFetch to read https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code pages relevant to the topic for authoritative …
- Very specific: line 23
Study existing guides: Read 2-3 files in core/ to extract the consistent structure:
- Distinctive: line 30
Follow the extracted structure exactly
- Distinctive: line 31
Use only verified information from official docs
- Distinctive: line 33
All JSON must be valid — no comments, no trailing commas
- Distinctive: line 34
All settings keys and hook events must match official documentation
- Distinctive: line 35
Keep language-agnostic — no framework-specific advice
- Distinctive: line 44
No duplicate of existing content in other guides
≈ “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.

Add Core Guide
Create a new core/{topic}-guide.md file for the topic specified in $ARGUMENTS.
Steps
- Validate topic: Confirm
core/$ARGUMENTS-guide.mddoes not already exist. If it does, report and stop. - Fetch official docs: Use WebFetch to read
https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-codepages relevant to the topic for authoritative content. - Study existing guides: Read 2-3 files in
core/to extract the consistent structure:- Title format:
# Topic Guide - Section pattern: overview → key concepts → configuration → examples → troubleshooting → cross-references
- Style: imperative, concrete examples, valid JSON in code blocks, language-agnostic
- Length: under 300 lines
- Title format:
- Generate the guide:
- Follow the extracted structure exactly
- Use only verified information from official docs
- Include at least 2 concrete JSON or bash code block examples
- All JSON must be valid — no comments, no trailing commas
- All settings keys and hook events must match official documentation
- Keep language-agnostic — no framework-specific advice
- Add cross-references:
- Link to related core guides using relative paths:
../core/{related}-guide.md - Grep other guides for mentions of the new topic and note where a backlink would help
- Link to related core guides using relative paths:
- Verify: Re-read the generated file and confirm:
- Valid JSON in all code blocks
- Under 300 lines
- No duplicate of existing content in other guides
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.
