The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.

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

Ask the user: "Apply these score changes?" If confirmed, use ticket_update for each changed ticket.
≈ “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.

Continuous Reprioritization
Reassess priorities for project $0 in light of: $1
Procedure
- Use
ticket_listto fetch all active tickets (excludestate:done) (ticket_listreturns 100 tickets per call: page withoffsetuntil you havetotalof them) - Analyze the event described by the user
- Once you have chosen new scores, call
simulatewith them aschanges: it ranks the open tickets (notstate:done) by weighted priority with the project's weights, before and after, and returns each ticket's rank and priority in both. That is the baseline and the proposal, among the same tickets. Don't take the baseline fromcalc_priority: it ranks done tickets too, so its ranks don't match the active tickets'
Reassessment
For each ticket, consider whether the event changes:
- Benefit: Does the event make this feature more or less valuable?
- Penalty: Does the event increase or decrease the cost of not doing this?
- Estimate: Does the event change the effort (e.g. new tooling available)?
- Risk: Does the event add or remove uncertainty?
Output
Present a before/after comparison:
| Ticket | Old Priority | Old Rank | Suggested Scores (B/P/E/R) | New Priority | New Rank | Change |
Highlight tickets that moved more than 2 positions.
Rationale
For each proposed change, explain in one sentence why the event affects that ticket's scores.
Apply changes
Ask the user: "Apply these score changes?" If confirmed, use ticket_update for each changed ticket. Do NOT update without confirmation.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
