The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are 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.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this skill for current-source research and source credibility checks.

    line 21
  2. Distinctive:

    Prefer primary sources: official docs, repositories, standards bodies, papers, patents, and release notes.

    line 26
  3. Distinctive:

    Avoid copying long passages.

    line 30

≈ “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.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Web Research And Source Triage

Use this skill for current-source research and source credibility checks.

Workflow

  1. Classify the claim as stable, current, high-stakes, or vendor-specific.
  2. Prefer primary sources: official docs, repositories, standards bodies, papers, patents, and release notes.
  3. Cross-check volatile claims against at least two independent sources when possible.
  4. Capture dates, versions, and source URLs in the answer or evidence record.
  5. Flag uncertainty explicitly when sources disagree or only secondary sources are available.
  6. Avoid copying long passages; summarize and cite.

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
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

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.
