about-me
Skill2 starsChanged 10 days agoMITView on GitHub
Use when the user asks to set up, fill in or update their "about me" profile, goals or working preferences, or when `saw about-me show` reports no answers and the user agrees to an interview. Interviews them (~50 questions in six groups) and writes the answers to the global or project about-me file.

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. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 20
Ask which scope, unless the user said.
- Distinctive: line 21
Read the file. Answered questions are prefill: show the current answer and ask only whether it changed.
- Distinctive: line 24
Write each answer under its question with Edit, in the user's words, one or two lines.
- Distinctive: line 28
Stop early whenever the user wants.
≈ “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
About-me interview
The profile is plain Markdown: ## section, ### question, the answer underneath. saw puts the merged answers in every session's context (features.about_me).
| Scope | File | Use for |
| global (default) | ~/.saw/about-me.md | who the user is, across all projects |
| project | docs/about-me.md | this project's goals and rules; committed, so nothing personal |
| local | .saw/about-me.local.md | personal notes for this project; gitignored |
A project or local answer replaces the global answer to the same question.
Steps
- Ask which scope, unless the user said. Run
saw about-me --scope <scope>to create the file from the template if it's missing. - Read the file. Answered questions are prefill: show the current answer and ask only whether it changed.
- Go through the six sections in order. Ask one section at a time with AskUserQuestion: up to 4 questions per call, two calls per section, each with 2–4 likely answers (the user can always type their own). For open questions (what are you building, success in a month) ask in plain text instead. Every question is skippable; never push.
- For the project scope, skip personal questions (role, experience, working week) and keep answers safe to commit: no names, emails, paths or secrets.
- Write each answer under its question with Edit, in the user's words, one or two lines. Leave skipped questions blank. Don't reorder or delete questions the user didn't ask to remove.
- Show
saw about-me showand ask if anything reads wrong. - Suggest settings the answers imply (for example
saw config set autonomy.level act --scope global,style.tone,features.tdd), as commands for the user to approve, not changes made silently.
Stop early whenever the user wants; partial profiles work.

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.
