The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 16
Call the obsidian-router search MCP tool with arguments parsed from $ARGUMENTS.
- Very specific: line 31
if user includes --all or "across all vaults", set vault to *
- Very specific: line 42
If many matches (>20), summarize counts and show the first 20.
≈ “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
read-search
Call the obsidian-router search MCP tool with arguments parsed from $ARGUMENTS.
Arguments
Required:
query— the substring to find.
Optional:
vault— vault name. Omit for default. Pass*to fan-out across ALL vaults in parallel.contextLength— number of characters of surrounding context per match. Default 100.
Argument parsing from $ARGUMENTS
- the entire $ARGUMENTS as
queryis fine for the most common case vault=X query="some words"orvault=* query="words"- if user includes
--allor "across all vaults", setvaultto*
Output format
Render results as a markdown list, one per matching file:
<path> (vault name if cross-vault)
- <text snippet with surrounding context>If many matches (>20), summarize counts and show the first 20. Suggest read-search-smart (semantic) if the user seems to be looking by meaning rather than literal text.
Does it work?

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.
