betacatslingSkilldep-refs
Use when needs to inspect TypeScript export references in the z-code workspace, list exports from a file, verify whether an export is unused before deletion, investigate who imports a symbol during refactors, or combine pnpm knip unused-export results with pnpm dep:refs symbol-level reference tracing.

betacatslingSkillfeature-boundary-planner
Map a ZCode behavior change to current UI surfaces, state owners, protocol commands, persistence, and validation. Use for impact analysis, product-boundary planning, or an implementation handoff grounded in the checked-out source.

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
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 78 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
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 31
Read only the winning lane's references.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 78 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
Dogfood — Exploratory QA
Runs one 5-phase pipeline — plan → explore → collect evidence → categorize → report — over any of four target types: web, terminal/tui, desktop, mobile. This file is the lane identification step only; the working method lives in references/hermes/ and references/grok/.
Global Rules
The lane is determined from a physical signal, not by self-identification. Each agent's launcher stamps a fixed attribution env var into every command it runs; the model cannot set these.
if [[ -n "${HERMES_AGENT:-}" ]]; then echo HERMES
elif [[ -n "${GROK_AGENT:-}" ]]; then echo GROK
else echo UNSET; fiHERMES→ Hermes lane. Readreferences/hermes/. Stop.GROK→ Grok lane. Readreferences/grok/. Stop.UNSET→ stop and report. Do not guess the lane.
Marker provenance:
- Hermes re-exports
AI_AGENT=hermes-agentandHERMES_AGENT=trueon every command. - Grok Build runs with
GROK_AGENT=1.
Read only the winning lane's references. Do not read the other lane's.
Routing
Hermes lane (Steps 0–3)
| Step | Reference | Purpose |
| 0 | references/hermes/step-0-plan-and-spawn.md | Infer target type; plan the brief (scope, output dir, acceptance criteria); create the Orca worktree (repo targets) or headless run (mobile); drop /dogfood <target> |
| 1 | references/hermes/step-1-wait-grok.md | Wait for Grok to finish the pipeline; read its report.md |
| 2 | references/hermes/step-2-verify-and-ship.md | Verify evidence integrity and that the app tree is unmodified; triage summary; deliver the report |
| 3 | references/hermes/step-3-final-report.md | Final report to the user (issues by severity, top issues, patterns, report location, worktree teardown) |
Grok lane (5-phase pipeline, run by Grok Build)
| Step | Reference | Purpose |
| Step 0: plan | references/grok/step-0-plan.md | Output directory layout and target-specific test-plan items for all four types. |
| Step 1: explore — web | references/grok/step-1-web.md | browser_* toolset, web-specific tips, web issue taxonomy. |
| Step 1: explore — terminal/TUI | references/grok/step-1-terminal.md | run_terminal_command, screen/tmux capture, TUI sizing, signal handling, terminal issue taxonomy. |
| Step 1: explore — desktop | references/grok/step-1-desktop.md | computer_use (cua-driver), AX-tree capture, drag-and-drop, desktop issue taxonomy. |
| Step 1: explore — mobile | references/grok/step-1-mobile.md | adb shell (tap, swipe, type, screencap), logcat, rotation, permission dialogs, mobile issue taxonomy. |
| Shared QA rules | references/grok/shared.md | Output directory layout, evidence protocol, categorize rules, report requirements, issue taxonomy (severity + universal categories), shared tips for all targets. |
| Report template | templates/dogfood-report-template.md | Copy-source shape of the final report; fill and save to {output_dir}/report.md. |
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
