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
6 rules. About 0 are common, 6 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈6
Distinctive · estimate
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
- Distinctive: line 13
Before writing, ASK the user to fill in or confirm a feature table:
- Distinctive: line 56
Use these verbs consistently:
- Distinctive: line 70
Always ask for the step table FIRST — never assume the app's UI
- Distinctive: line 71
Keep each step to ONE action
- Distinctive: line 74
Use backticks for URLs
- Distinctive: line 75
Write in plain language — the audience is end users, not developers
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Write User Guide
Generate step-by-step user guides for web app features.
Process
Before writing, ASK the user to fill in or confirm a feature table:
| Step | Action | Page |
| 1 | Go to {url} | {Page name} |
| 2 | Click "{Button/Link}" | {Page name} |
| 3 | Fill in "{Field}" with {value} | {Page name} |
| ... | ... | ... |
Present this table as a template and ask the user to provide the steps. Do NOT guess the steps — the user knows their app.
Output Format
Once the user confirms the steps, generate the guide as a markdown file with this structure:
# {Feature Name}
## Overview
{One sentence describing what this feature does and who it's for.}
## Steps
### Step 1: {Action summary}
**Page:** {Page name}
{Action description}. Go to `{url}`.
### Step 2: {Action summary}
**Page:** {Page name}
Click **"{Button/Link}"**.
### Step 3: {Action summary}
**Page:** {Page name}
Fill in the **"{Field}"** field with your {value}.
...Action Types
Use these verbs consistently:
| Verb | When to use |
| Go to | Navigate to a URL or page |
| Click | Press a button, link, or menu item |
| Fill in | Enter text into an input field |
| Select | Choose from a dropdown or radio buttons |
| Toggle | Turn a switch on or off |
| Upload | Attach a file |
| Confirm | Accept a dialog or review a summary |
Rules
- Always ask for the step table FIRST — never assume the app's UI
- Keep each step to ONE action
- Bold all UI element names (buttons, fields, links)
- Include the page name for every step
- Use backticks for URLs
- Write in plain language — the audience is end users, not developers
- Save output to
docs/user-guides/{feature-name}.md

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.
