LesaniSkillwriting-beats
Shape an article as a journey of beats, choose-your-own-adventure style. The user picks a starting beat from the raw material, you write only that beat, then offer options for where to pivot next, beat by beat, until the article reaches a natural end. Use when the user has raw material and wants to assemble it as a narrative rather than an argument.

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
Files
Transfer operational state, not a transcript summary. If the user asks for a handoff, write a document in the OS temporary directory, outside the workspace. Tailor it to the next session the user describes.
For T3 work, consult the current thread's history through t3_thread_read or
scoped t3_thread_search when needed to recover decisions and task receipts.
Record relevant thread/task IDs, ownership, and any still-running work in the
note. The portable note remains the handoff artifact; use app history as evidence
rather than copying a transcript. A handoff does not launch a new conversation.
Record the goal and definition of done; branch, worktree, and relevant commit or PR; what is complete and verified; what is pending or blocked; decisions that still constrain the work; exact artifact paths; and the first useful action on resume. Distinguish work saved on disk from an uncommitted or unpushed state. Include a short suggested-skills section only for skills the next agent will need. Point to specs, plans, ADRs, issues, diffs, and evidence rather than copying them. Redact secrets and personal data.
If the user asks you to resume from a handoff, read its linked artifacts and reconstruct the current branch, worktree, and external state before acting. Compare completed work with pending work and name the resume point. Treat the handoff as orientation: verify inherited claims that affect the next action against current code, artifacts, or remote state. Continue the requested work without redoing completed steps whose evidence still applies.
Creating a handoff does not itself authorize a commit, push, PR, or pause. Before finishing, check that the next agent can act from the note and its linked artifacts without this conversation. Report the document path and any state that could not safely be captured.

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.
