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
10 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 7 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.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use the knowledge graph to systematically trace and debug issues.
- Very specific: line 12
Use semantic_search_nodes to find code related to the issue.
- Very specific: line 13
Use query_graph with callers_of and callees_of to trace call chains.
- Very specific: line 14
Use get_flow to see full execution paths through suspected areas.
- Very specific: line 15
Run detect_changes to check if recent changes caused the issue.
- Very specific: line 16
Use get_impact_radius on suspected files to see what else is affected.
- Distinctive: line 20
Check both callers and callees to understand the full context.
- Distinctive: line 21
Look at affected flows to find the entry point that triggers the bug.
- Very specific: line 25
ALWAYS start with get_minimal_context(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
- Very specific: line 26
Use detail_level="minimal" on all calls.
≈ “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.

Debug Issue
Use the knowledge graph to systematically trace and debug issues.
Steps
- Use
semantic_search_nodesto find code related to the issue. - Use
query_graphwithcallers_ofandcallees_ofto trace call chains. - Use
get_flowto see full execution paths through suspected areas. - Run
detect_changesto check if recent changes caused the issue. - Use
get_impact_radiuson suspected files to see what else is affected.
Tips
- Check both callers and callees to understand the full context.
- Look at affected flows to find the entry point that triggers the bug.
- Recent changes are the most common source of new issues.
Token Efficiency Rules
- ALWAYS start with
get_minimal_context(task="<your task>")before any other graph tool. - Use
detail_level="minimal"on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient. - Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.
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
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.
