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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
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
- could be automatic: a setting could enforce it
- Distinctive: line 10
Read all applicable ignore files and git status --ignored --short.
- Distinctive: line 13
Check whether each candidate is already tracked or intentionally committed.
- Distinctive: line 14
Prefer the narrowest stable pattern.
- Distinctive: line 19
Never display secret values and never use ignore rules as remediation for a secret that is already committed.
≈ “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
Gitignore audit
This workflow is read-only unless a later request explicitly asks for edits.
- Read all applicable ignore files and
git status --ignored --short. - Identify untracked generated output, caches, local settings, credentials, editor state, or platform files using file contents and project tooling as evidence.
- Check whether each candidate is already tracked or intentionally committed.
- Prefer the narrowest stable pattern; avoid broad extension or directory rules that could hide source, fixtures, documentation, lockfiles, or migrations.
- Report candidates grouped as high confidence, project decision, and do not ignore. Include the evidence and risk for each.
Never display secret values and never use ignore rules as remediation for a secret that is already committed.
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.
