Use when the user wants to change how the workflow behaves — enable or disable a feature, change autonomy, budgets, models, or any workflow.toml setting. Grills briefly, then writes the right settings layer with the saw CLI.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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 6
Run saw config show to see what is set and where it came from.
- Distinctive: line 7
Ask what they want and why, then recommend the layer:
≈ “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
- Run
saw config showto see what is set and where it came from. - Ask what they want and why, then recommend the layer:
project(workflow.toml, committed): team-wide behaviour.local(workflow.local.toml, git-ignored): personal preference for this repo.global(~/.saw/config.toml): personal default for every repo. Guardrail keys (safety.*,autonomy.*,features.parallel_sessions,features.worktrees) can only be loosened inglobalorlocal; a committed workflow.toml may only tighten them. Changing them asks the user (saw guard).
- Apply with
saw config set <key> <value> --scope <layer>, then runsaw doctorand report its result.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
