Help the user understand the current topic visually with concise diagrams, code-shape sketches, and focused HTML artifacts. Use ONLY when the user explicitly asks to see, visualise, diagram, sketch, or be shown the preceding explanation.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. 1 is common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
1
Common
Most of the 66 edited versions we read keep these.
0
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 59
Use diff when the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists.
- Common: line 122
Place each visual next to the short text it supports.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 66 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Help the user understand the current topic of conversation visually. Skip the preamble and keep prose brief. Pick the smallest view that makes the key point clear.
- Show logic or an algorithm as pseudocode:
on(save)
if content is unchanged
return cached result
write new content
return fresh result- Show runtime control flow as a call tree:
submitForm
createSession
persistPrompt
launchAgent
navigateToSession- Show UI structure as a component tree, including state and module boundaries that matter:
<SessionPage> (apps/example/src/routes/session.tsx)
useSessionEvents()
<SessionToolbar>
<RunSkillButton> (packages/ui)- Show file responsibility or a broad refactor as a shallow file tree:
src/
├── commands/ # parses user actions
├── sessions/ # owns session state
└── transport/ # sends API requests- Show component interaction, control flow, or data flow with Mermaid:
sequenceDiagram
participant User
participant UI
participant Daemon
User->>UI: choose command
UI->>Daemon: send expanded prompt
Daemon-->>UI: stream result- Use
diffwhen the point is what changes and the surrounding shape already exists. Match the diff shape to the topic.
For a component change:
<SessionPage>
useSessionEvents()
<SessionToolbar>
+ <RunSkillButton />
<SessionTimeline>
+ <SkillResultCard />For a file-layout change:
src/
├── commands/
+│ └── show-me.ts # expands the slash command
├── sessions/
-└── transport.ts
+└── transport/
+ ├── client.ts
+ └── stream.tsFor a call-tree or call-stack change:
submitForm
createSession
persistPrompt
+ expandSkillMention
launchAgent
- navigateToSession
+ navigateToSession
+ subscribeToEventsFor a state or control-flow change:
on(save)
- write content
+ if content is unchanged
+ return cached result
+ write new content
+ invalidate cache- Show the whole block when most of it is new, when omitted context would hide ownership or order, or when the user needs a copyable target shape:
function expandSkill(command: string): string {
const skillName = command.slice(1)
return `use the ${skillName} skill`
}- For a visual UI, layout, state comparison, or concept too dense for Mermaid, write one focused HTML file — a diagram, an infographic, or a short slide deck, whichever fits the point. Match the product's colors, type, spacing, and components; use real labels and data; support desktop and mobile. Name it
show-me-{description}.htmland report its path; open it only when the user asks.
Guidance
Place each visual next to the short text it supports. Keep only the calls, files, props, states, and boundaries needed to answer the user's current question or the options to resolve the current discussion point.
You may use one of these, you may use several, it is unlikely you will use all of them. Use your judgement and don't overwhelm the user.
Avoid
- Decorating an explanation that was already clear.
- Inventing architecture or details not established by the conversation or code.
- Dense Mermaid diagrams when a five-line tree would communicate more clearly.
- Leaving a generated HTML artefact in a production path without clearly marking its purpose.

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.

Other files people use alongside this one.
Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
AnthropicSkilleli5
Explain a topic like I'm a 5 year old. Use when the user types /eli5 <topic> or asks for a dead-simple picture explainer of how something works.

jaydubya818Skillmaintain-verification-skill
Use when a project's verification driver or feature map may be stale.
Also in 6 projects that use this
jaydubya818Skillcreate-verification-skill
Use when a repository needs a repeatable driver that proves real UI, CLI, or service behavior.

magnusrodsethSkillstacked-prs
Manage a stack of dependent pull requests (a chain where each PR's base is the branch below it, up to main). Covers GitHub's native stacked pull requests via the gh stack CLI extension, and hand-rolled stacks built with plain git + gh. Use when creating or planning a stack of dependent PRs, merging the bottom of a stack, retargeting a PR's base to main, propagating main or a review fix up a chain of branches, rebasing or restructuring a stack, resolving conflicts across a PR stack, or recovering a stacked PR that was auto-closed when its base branch was deleted.

ninehillsSkillherdr
Control herdr from inside it. Manage workspaces and tabs, split panes, run commands, read output, and wait for state changes — all via CLI commands that talk to the running herdr instance over a local unix socket. Use when running inside herdr (HERDR_ENV=1).

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.
