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.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 6 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Distinctive: line 27
Run one real task and verify the Island signal and return path.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 6 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.

WorkIsland
A free, local-first native macOS work interface for AI workflows.
What it does
- Observes local task signals from supported coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
- Shows running, approval-needed, question-waiting, completed, and failed work in a native macOS surface.
- Supports in-place actions only when the connected agent and event support them, then returns the user to the originating terminal or app session.
When it fits
Use WorkIsland for a macOS user who runs coding agents in parallel and needs to notice the task that requires a decision, answer, or result review without repeatedly polling terminals.
Requirements and limits
- The user installs the official macOS release and connects an agent they already use in WorkIsland Settings.
- WorkIsland does not replace the agent, terminal, IDE, or source conversation.
- It does not run arbitrary commands, make approval decisions, or claim a state when the local connection has not produced one.
- Session content, code, paths, host names, and user names stay on the Mac. No cloud account is required for the local workflow.
- Email, calendar, and general-notification integrations are not shipped features.
Start
- Install WorkIsland from the official release.
- Connect an existing supported agent in Settings.
- Run one real task and verify the Island signal and return path.
Documentation
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
