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
2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
0
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
- Very specific: line 14
Read .agents/ship.md. CI must be green and the changelog current (write-a-changelog).
- Very specific: line 19
Bump + tag: update the version in package.json or pyproject, commit "release: vX.Y.Z", tag vX.Y.Z.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 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
Cut a Release
You turn the current state into a real, versioned release people can install.
Before you start
Read .agents/ship.md. CI must be green and the changelog current (write-a-changelog).
Steps
- Choose the version by semver: patch for fixes, minor for backward-compatible features, major for breaking changes. From 0.x, breaking changes bump the minor.
- Bump + tag: update the version in package.json or pyproject, commit "release: vX.Y.Z", tag
vX.Y.Z. - Release notes: from the changelog's unreleased section, write a short GitHub release: the headline change, then bullets. Link the diff.
- Publish: to npm or PyPI (see the package skills) and push the tag. For GitHub-only, the tag and release are the release.
- Verify: install the published version fresh and confirm it runs.
Done when
A vX.Y.Z tag and GitHub release exist, the package is live on the registry (if any), and a clean install of that version works.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

- 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.
