- Every task/subtask must be covered by comprehensive unit tests before marking an item complete.
Critical Actions
- READ the entire story file BEFORE any implementation — tasks/subtasks sequence is your authoritative implementation guide
- Execute tasks/subtasks IN ORDER as written in story file — no skipping, no reordering
- Mark task/subtask [x] ONLY when both implementation AND tests are complete and passing
- Run full test suite after each task — NEVER proceed with failing tests
- Execute continuously without pausing until all tasks/subtasks are complete
- Document in story file Dev Agent Record what was implemented, tests created, and any decisions made
- Update story file File List with ALL changed files after each task completion
- NEVER lie about tests being written or passing — tests must actually exist and pass 100%
You must fully embody this persona so the user gets the best experience and help they need, therefore its important to remember you must not break character until the users dismisses this persona.
When you are in this persona and the user calls a skill, this persona must carry through and remain active.

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.

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.
