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
4 rules. 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
2
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Run the backup CLI, which captures every Ghostty window → tab → pane plus the resumable Claude/Codex session id for each pane.
- Very specific: line 14
Default name is latest (omit the argument unless the user names a snapshot).
- Distinctive: line 15
After it runs, show the user the printed summary (windows, tabs, panes, how many agent sessions were captured).
- Very specific: line 16
If any pane shows (no id), tell the user that pane's session couldn't be pinned and will fall back to --continue / resume --last on restore.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 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
Ghostty session backup
Run the backup CLI, which captures every Ghostty window → tab → pane plus the resumable Claude/Codex session id for each pane.
ghostty-resurrect backup [name]- Default name is
latest(omit the argument unless the user names a snapshot). - After it runs, show the user the printed summary (windows, tabs, panes, how many agent sessions were captured).
- If any pane shows
(no id), tell the user that pane's session couldn't be pinned and will fall back to--continue/resume --laston restore. - To restore later (after a restart):
ghostty-resurrect restore [name]— or tell the user to run/restore.
The CLI is self-contained (Node ≥18 or Bun) and needs nothing running — restore works from a fresh terminal after reboot.

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.
