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.

What it does
The Owl-Listener design-system-governance skill: the three ownership models (centralized / federated / hybrid) with trade-offs, the contribution lifecycle (request → triage → design → review → build → release → communicate), semver as a consumer contract, a deprecation process with migration guidance, and the quality bar a component must clear to enter the system.
When NOT to use
- Authoring tokens themselves → use
design-tokens-skill - Driving adoption of an existing system → use
design-system-adoption(a separate skill in the same Owl-Listener repository; this stub does not install it)

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.
