This repo is a plugin marketplace of skills, not an application. Almost every change is a markdown file that instructs a model. Treat the prose as the product. - Every plugin listed in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json must have a matching directory with .claude-plugin/plugin.json. A plugin that isn't listed doesn't exist. - Skills live at <plugin>/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. The directory name and the frontmatter name must be identical and kebab-case. - Commands live at <plugin>/commands/<command-name>.md and are invoked as /<command-name>. - Start from templates/SKILL.md or…

The file
We split this CLAUDE.md into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
4
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

- Very specific: line 8
Every plugin listed in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json must have a matching directory with .claude-plugin/plugin.json.

Start from templates/SKILL.md or templates/COMMAND.md.
- Very specific: line 15
Run python validate_plugins.py before committing.
- Distinctive: line 22
Write instructions to the model in the second person ("You are…", "Ask for…"), not as documentation about the skill.
- Distinctive: line 24
Prefer numbered steps with a stated output format over general advice.
- Distinctive: line 27
Keep a skill focused on one framework.
- Distinctive: line 29
No filler sections. Every heading should change the output.
- Distinctive: line 38
Don't copy skill content from other marketplaces.
- Very specific: line 40
Don't add runtime code or dependencies.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 26,980 CLAUDE.md 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.

This repo is a plugin marketplace of skills, not an application. Almost every change is a markdown file that instructs a model. Treat the prose as the product.
Structure rules
- Every plugin listed in
.claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonmust have a matching directory with.claude-plugin/plugin.json. A plugin that isn't listed doesn't exist. - Skills live at
<plugin>/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. The directory name and the frontmatternamemust be identical and kebab-case. - Commands live at
<plugin>/commands/<command-name>.mdand are invoked as/<command-name>. - Start from
templates/SKILL.mdortemplates/COMMAND.md. Don't invent a new shape. - Run
python validate_plugins.pybefore committing. It must exit clean.
Writing rules
- The
descriptionis the trigger. Claude decides whether to load a skill from that one line alone. Write what the skill produces and when to use it, using the words a user would actually type. Vague descriptions mean the skill never fires. - Write instructions to the model in the second person ("You are…", "Ask for…"), not as documentation about the skill.
- Prefer numbered steps with a stated output format over general advice. If the output shape isn't pinned down, results drift between runs.
- Say what to do when an input is missing: ask, don't fabricate.
- Keep a skill focused on one framework. If it needs two, that's two skills and a command that chains them.
- No filler sections. Every heading should change the output.
Versioning
versionin eachplugin.jsonand inmarketplace.jsonfollows semver.- Bump the plugin's minor version when adding a skill or command; patch for edits.
Scope
- Don't copy skill content from other marketplaces. Frameworks can be credited and referenced; text should be written here.
- Don't add runtime code or dependencies. If a skill needs a script, keep it inside that skill's directory and document it in its SKILL.md.

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.
