Import instincts from teammates or community collections

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    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:

    Import instincts from external sources (teammates, community, exported files).

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Verify required fields (id, trigger, confidence, domain)

    line 23
  3. Distinctive:

    Check for conflicts with existing instincts (same id or overlapping trigger)

    line 24

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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.

/instinct-import

Import instincts from external sources (teammates, community, exported files).

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS — Path to instinct file, directory, or URL

Process

1. Source Detection

Identify the source format:

  • Single .md file: Import one instinct
  • Directory: Import all instincts from directory
  • JSON/YAML file: Import structured instinct collection

2. Validation

For each instinct being imported:

  • Verify required fields (id, trigger, confidence, domain)
  • Check for conflicts with existing instincts (same id or overlapping trigger)
  • Validate confidence score is in range [0.1, 0.9]

3. Conflict Resolution

## Import Conflicts

| Instinct | Existing | Incoming | Resolution |
|----------|----------|----------|------------|
| prefer-const | 0.7 (personal) | 0.5 (imported) | Keep higher (0.7) |
| use-errgroup | — | 0.6 (imported) | Import as new |
| validate-zod | 0.9 (personal) | 0.8 (imported) | Keep existing |

Merge strategies:

  • Higher confidence wins (default): Keep whichever has higher confidence
  • Incoming wins: Override with imported values
  • Flag for review: Mark conflicts for manual resolution

4. Storage

Imported instincts are stored in:

~/.claude/instincts/inherited/
  teammate-prefer-const.md
  community-use-errgroup.md

Each imported instinct is tagged with:

  • source: imported
  • imported_from: [filename or teammate]
  • imported_at: [timestamp]
  • original_confidence: [score]

5. Report

## Import Complete

- Imported: 5 instincts
- Skipped (conflicts): 2
- New domains discovered: 1 (database)
- Run `/instinct-status` to review

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.
