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
2 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 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.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 13
Call route(task, agents). It coarse-filters by layer and task_kinds, scores each candidate by task_kinds and capabilities overlap, and …
- Very specific: line 16
If route returns fallback: true, no agent fits.
≈ “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.

Capability Routing
Route each task with the lib/routing.mjs helper, then apply judgment:
- Build the task descriptor
{ kind, layer?, capabilities? }from the planner's tagged step. The registry is in context from the SessionStart hook; if it is not (a session started without the hook), read theagents/directory withreadRegistryfirst. - Call
route(task, agents). It coarse-filters bylayerandtask_kinds, scores each candidate bytask_kindsandcapabilitiesoverlap, and breaks ties deterministically (score descending, then name ascending). - If
routereturnsfallback: true, no agent fits. Do not force a poor match: tell the user and use the writing-agents skill to scaffold a new agent that follows the capability schema. - Otherwise take
pickas the default. You may override it for a documented reason by reading the candidates'descriptions — but record the final choice and thereason(including the score) in the mission decision log.
The orchestration and review layers are cross-cutting: the planner, lead, and reviewers
are invoked by name in a fixed order, not selected by this filter.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
