The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
2 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 34
Read the full decision file before acting on a hit.
- Distinctive: line 47
Never create a decision document without explicit user approval.
≈ “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
<!-- kendex:project-instructions:start -->Project Instructions
<!-- kendex:shared-instructions:start -->Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.
<!-- kendex:shared-instructions:end --><!-- kendex:project-instructions:end -->Decider
Numbered decision documents indexed in one INDEX.md (default docs/decisions/), with a search CLI, canonical format, and creation/supersession workflows.
.agents/skills/decider/scripts/decisions <command> [options]Actions (search, search --issue, list, next-id, get), search coverage and scoring, output shapes, and the DECISIONS_DIR / DECISION_ID_* environment: decisions --help. There is no bare issue action; use search --issue.
Read the full decision file before acting on a hit. A suggestion contradicting an active decision is invalid unless the decision itself is flawed.
Workflows
| Workflow | Trigger |
workflows/create-decision.md | A significant path choice is settled |
workflows/update-decision.md | A new decision supersedes, partially supersedes, or revisits an existing one |
Format: schemas/decision-format.md (constraints), templates/decision-entry.md (document skeleton), templates/index-row.md (INDEX row).
Approval
Never create a decision document without explicit user approval. When work settles a choice worth recording, say on completion: "this introduced a decision worth recording: [summary]. Want me to create a decision entry?"
Record: technology selections with alternatives, performance trade-offs, path choices whose conditions may change. Do not record: variable names, small refactors, bug fixes, choices with no realistic alternative, standard pattern applications.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
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.
