Check trust boundaries, scale behavior, and layered safety. Use when handling user input, external API responses, files, or auth; when designing permissions, validation, or any safety mechanism; when data volume could grow; or when writing loops that touch I/O. Also use when reviewing whether a single safeguard is the only thing standing between a mistake and a disaster.

This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific

≈ “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.

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.
