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 3 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.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 10
Follow the canonical procedure in this repo — it is the single source of truth:
- Very specific: line 12
Read commands/otel-collector.md (repo root) and execute its steps.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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
otel-collector (Codex bridge)
Requires the otel-as-code repo. The
commands//skills//agents/files referenced below live there — if they're not present in your workspace, stop and tell the user to add the repo (see AGENTS.md).
Follow the canonical procedure in this repo — it is the single source of truth:
- Read
commands/otel-collector.md(repo root) and execute its steps. - Apply
skills/collector-topology/SKILL.mdfor pipeline topology, tail-sampling, and the cardinality-guardrail patterns.
Args: $ARGUMENTS (e.g. gateway, --experimental, --public, --force,
--confirm-remove-auth; default mode is agent).
Codex note: .codex/hooks.json enforces write-guard here — a denied overwrite of an existing
otelcol-agent.yaml / otelcol-gateway.yaml means regenerate deliberately. --public adds
receiver auth (bearertokenauth); --force alone refuses to remove existing auth — pair it with
--confirm-remove-auth to intentionally downgrade, or --public to keep it.
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.
