The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 8 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Ensure setup (.classic-pm/) exists or run setup-classic-pm.

    line 21
  2. Very specific:

    Ensure ORG_CONTEXT.md / PROJECT_CONTEXT.md exist.

    line 22

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 8 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.

Start project

Orchestrator - do not duplicate document templates; call the specialist skills.

Sequence

  1. Ensure setup (.classic-pm/) exists or run setup-classic-pm.
  2. Ensure ORG_CONTEXT.md / PROJECT_CONTEXT.md exist; fill via org-context / project-context as needed.
  3. /stress-test until initiation assumptions are aligned (docs mode recommended).
  4. draft-project-charter then draft-stakeholder-register.
  5. Ready-to-plan gate: charter authorized (or clear next approval), stakeholders listed, open assumptions that block planning are closed or explicitly deferred.

Output a short initiation checklist of what is done vs deferred.

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.
