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. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

When do they feel momentum and progress?
≈ “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.

Customer Empathy Exercise
Pause and deeply empathize with your users before continuing any work. Think through these questions to clarify who you're building for and how to serve them best.
The Customer
Who is our ideal customer?
- What's their role, context, situation?
- What brings them to us right now?
What job are they trying to get done?
- What's the outcome they actually want?
- What would "done" look like for them?
Their Journey
What's their mental state at each step of the way before getting to this point?
- What are they feeling when they first arrive?
- What questions are in their head?
- Where might they feel confused, frustrated, or stuck?
- When do they feel momentum and progress?
What do they care about?
- What matters most to them right now?
- What would make them think "yes! This is it!"?
What do they NOT care about?
- What features/details are we obsessing over that they'd skip right past?
- What complexity can we remove entirely?
Delivering Value
How can we best help them?
- What's the single most valuable thing we can do for them?
How do we make them succeed?
- What does success look like from their perspective?
- What's blocking them from getting there RIGHT NOW?
How do we make their lives easier?
- What friction can we eliminate?
- What can we automate or do for them?
The Magic
How do we get them to the "aha" moment as fast and easily as humanly possible?
- What IS the "aha" moment?
- What's the shortest path to it?
- What's currently in the way?
How can we delight them most?
- What would make them smile or say "wow!"?
- What unexpected value could we add?
How can we make this as seamless and magical as humanly possible?
- What if this just... worked?
- What would "effortless" look like?
How can we make them "wow!" and provide MOST of the value in the SHORTEST time with the LOWEST effort?
- What's our 80/20?
- What's the minimum they need to do to get maximum value?
Write your answers. Be specific. Challenge assumptions. Think from their shoes, not ours.
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.
- 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.
