first-reader
Skill1 starsChanged 28 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Beta readers for any draft, run by simulating how a real reader experiences it, moment by moment. A skim gate, a no-lookahead timed read producing an attention transcript with quit points, a recall test of what a reader remembers the next day, and a trust ledger of the implied author. Use when the user asks for a beta read, beta readers, test readers, human review, reader review, to read something like a human, to be a first reader, whether a piece holds attention or will actually get read, for a quick read of whether a busy skimmer would even open a post, what readers will remember or take away tomorrow, where readers stop reading or bounce, or why a draft still feels off or hollow after anti-slop or humanizer edits. Final gate before publishing; reports where the reading broke; never rewrites.

The file
Show its rules and text
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
17 rules. About 0 are common, 10 are distinctive, and 7 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈10
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
7
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “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.
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.
