The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
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 7
If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill.
- Distinctive: line 14
When multiple skills apply: process skills first (ideating, debugging), then implementation skills.
≈ “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.
Files
<SUBAGENT-STOP>
If you were dispatched as a subagent to execute a specific task, skip this skill.
</SUBAGENT-STOP>The Rule
Invoke relevant skills BEFORE any response or action — but only when clearly relevant to the task.
When multiple skills apply: process skills first (ideating, debugging), then implementation skills.
Instruction Priority
- User instructions (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, direct requests) — highest
- Arsyn skills — override default behavior where they conflict
- Default system prompt — lowest

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.
