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
1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Trace Triage
Pipes OTLP span exports into agent-triage (PyPI) and surfaces the top
failure clusters, ranked by frequency and severity, with recovery rates and
suggested next actions.
Procedure
- Install the scorer in the target environment:
pip install agent-triage. - Locate the span source, in order of preference:
captures/otlp.jsonwritten by the otel-agent-tracing skill (either its docker collector or its OTLP JSON file exporter),- any OTLP JSON export the user points at,
- native triage NDJSON, which skips step 3.
- Convert OTLP to triage events:
python scripts/otlp_to_triage.py <otlp.json> -o events.ndjson. The DEFAULT mapping understands everything the otel-agent-tracing skill emits, including MCP semconv (mcp.method.name, span names shaped{method} {target}), so no--mapis needed for pack-emitted spans. For foreign span layouts pass--map mapping.toml; the format and the full default mapping live inreferences/attribute-mapping.md. The converter prints mapped and skipped counts to stderr. If it warns that most failures are unclassified, relay that to the user: triage scoring degrades without failure labels. - Score and report:
triage report events.ndjson --top 5. - Present the clusters to the user: rank, agent, tool, classification, final score, recovery rate, and the suggested action line. Offer to drill into the spans behind the top cluster.
- Optional follow-ups:
- Before and after:
triage compare before.ndjson after.ndjsonto verify a fix actually moved the numbers. - Live dashboard:
pip install "agent-triage[server]", runtriage-serve, point agents or a collector atPOST /otlp/v1/traces.

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.
