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
7 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 5 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 77 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
5
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 19
If [OQ] count ≥ 3 AND they cluster around one subsystem (interdependent) → invoke grill-me skill (one-at-a-time depth-first interrogation).
- Very specific: line 20
If [OQ] items are orthogonal (different subsystems) → batched mode below.
- Very specific: line 24
Update the spec with answers.
- Very specific: line 25
If an answer is project-shaping (touches the constitution), log it in .claude/memory/decisions/<date>-<slug>.md.
- Very specific: line 26
Update spec status to approved if no [OQ] remain.
- Distinctive: line 31
Provide a default: Never just ask — propose, then ask "ok or other?".
- Distinctive: line 33
Don't invent answers: If a question requires user input, ask.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 77 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.
Files
Clarify
Walk every [OQ] line in a spec and resolve it with the user. Update the spec, log decisions in memory if they're project-shaping.
Process
- Read
specs/active/<id>-<slug>.md. - Extract every
[OQ]line into a list. - Decide mode — Round 5 A2:
- If
[OQ]count ≥ 3 AND they cluster around one subsystem (interdependent) → invokegrill-meskill (one-at-a-time depth-first interrogation). - If
[OQ]items are orthogonal (different subsystems) → batched mode below. - User passed
--grill→ force grill mode regardless.
- If
- Batched mode: present up to 4 questions at a time via
AskUserQuestion. Format: question + your proposed default + alternatives. - Grill mode: hand off to
grill-meskill which walks the dependency graph one question at a time. - Update the spec with answers; remove
[OQ]tags. - If an answer is project-shaping (touches the constitution), log it in
.claude/memory/decisions/<date>-<slug>.md. - Update spec status to
approvedif no[OQ]remain.
Hard rules
- Batch orthogonal; grill interdependent. A spec with 5 interdependent auth questions deserves grill-me, not 5 batched cards.
- Provide a default. Never just ask — propose, then ask "ok or other?".
- Record decisions. Anything non-obvious goes into the memory log.
- Don't invent answers. If a question requires user input, ask. Don't paper over.
- AUTOPILOT — both modes degrade to "use recommendations as defaults, surface as
[OQ-pending-operator-review]in handoff" when no human is present.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- Partly
- It didn't
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.
