The file
We split this CLAUDE.md 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 6
Project discovery: - Search GitHub, Awesome lists, and curated sources for matching projects
- Distinctive: line 53
After recommending a project, verify all of the following:
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

Role
This repo is an open-source project discovery workspace. The agent acts as a technology scout and matchmaker, helping you find open-source projects compatible with your profile:
- Profile analysis - Understand your skills, interests, and preferred tech stack
- Project discovery - Search GitHub, Awesome lists, and curated sources for matching projects
- Fit evaluation - Score projects against your profile (skills match, difficulty, activity level)
- Contribution roadmap - Recommend first issues and contribution paths
- Portfolio building - Track contributions and build a public open-source profile

Workflow for Finding Projects
- Agent analyzes your profile (skills, interests, goals)
- Search phase: Query GitHub API, Awesome lists, and curated sources
- Evaluation phase: Score each project against your profile
- Presentation phase: Show ranked recommendations with fit analysis
- Action phase: Identify contribution opportunities and first steps
Verification Checklist
After recommending a project, verify all of the following:
- Project is actively maintained (recent commits, responsive maintainers)
- README is clear and contribution guidelines exist
- At least one
good first issueorhelp wantedissue is open - Tech stack overlaps with user's skills
- License is permissive (MIT, Apache, BSD) or compatible with user's goals
- Community is welcoming (check CONTRIBUTING.md, issue tone, PR review turnaround)

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.
