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
6 rules. 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
4
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
- Distinctive: line 14
Before doing ANY work, run these two calls:
- Distinctive: line 19
If other agents are active, consider sending a brief message about what you're about to work on.
- Distinctive: line 46
When you receive a message:
- Very specific: line 47
If it asks a question → mcp__intercom__reply(message_id, "your answer")
- Very specific: line 48
If it's informational → mcp__intercom__ack(message_id) after reading
- Distinctive: line 49
If it warns about a conflict → adjust your work accordingly, then reply
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 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
Intercom — Inter-Agent Communication
Purpose
Coordinate with other Claude Code instances working in parallel. Avoid file conflicts, duplicate work, and wasted effort by communicating proactively.
MANDATORY — On Every Task Start
Before doing ANY work, run these two calls:
mcp__intercom__who()→ discover who else is active on this projectmcp__intercom__peek()→ check if anyone sent you a message
If other agents are active, consider sending a brief message about what you're about to work on.
When to Communicate (Proactively)
Send a message (mcp__intercom__send) when:
| Situation | Example message |
| Starting work on a file | "Je commence à modifier src/auth/middleware.ts" |
| About to create a PR or push | "Je vais push sur feature/auth, heads up" |
| About to create a git worktree | "Je crée un worktree pour feature/billing" |
| Finished a task that unblocks others | "Auth middleware terminé et mergé, vous pouvez pull" |
| Found a bug or issue affecting others | "Attention: la migration DB 042 est cassée, ne pas merger" |
| Need information from another agent | "Qui gère le rate limiter ? J'ai besoin de contexte" |
When to Check Messages
Call mcp__intercom__peek():
- At task start (mandatory)
- Before modifying shared files (package.json, schema, configs)
- Before git operations (push, merge, rebase)
- Periodically during long tasks (every ~10 tool calls)
- Before claiming work is done
How to Reply
When you receive a message:
- If it asks a question →
mcp__intercom__reply(message_id, "your answer") - If it's informational →
mcp__intercom__ack(message_id)after reading - If it warns about a conflict → adjust your work accordingly, then reply
Scope
who(scope="project")→ agents on the same project (default)who(scope="all")→ all agents everywheresend(to="all", ...)→ broadcasts to same-project agentssend(to="x7k2", ...)→ direct message to a specific agent (works cross-project)
Rules
- Always check messages before starting work — someone may have warned about a conflict
- Announce significant file changes — other agents can't see your edits in real-time
- Reply to questions — don't leave messages unacknowledged
- Be concise — messages are for coordination, not essays
- Don't spam — one announcement per major action, not per file edit
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- 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.
