The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are 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.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 28
Ask the following questions to understand the background of the error:
≈ “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
Error — Guided Troubleshooting
skills/j-error/ is the canonical, hand-edited directory for this skill, per CLAUDE.md's "The Canonical Naming Contract" (the E50 reopening of 2026-09-09, which promoted skills/j-error/ from generated twin to sole canonical form). The j- prefix is there for collision safety — a real directory under a distinct name, so a host tool shipping its own same-named built-in command cannot shadow it (Claude Code's native skill resolution is a literal-string, directory-name-based match; see project/documentation/skill-authoring.md's "Invocation Convention").
⚠️
scripts/generate-j-alias.shwas retired byE50_S14and no longer exists — there is nothing to run. This file was previously generated from a bareskills/error/SKILL.mdsource;E50_S15deleted that directory. This file is now the sole canonical, hand-edited source for this skill — edit it directly.
Instructions

- Where does the error occur?
- What are you trying to do?
- What went wrong?
- What was the expected outcome?
Then use the answers to investigate and resolve the issue by creating a issue using the /todo skill.

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.
