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
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
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 7
When writing or editing a LinkedIn post:
- Distinctive: line 9
Hook first: Only ~200 characters show on mobile before "…see more" — the first line decides whether anyone expands the post.
- Distinctive: line 12
One idea per post: If you have two, write two posts.
- Distinctive: line 24
Links suppress reach: When a post needs a link, put it in the first comment and say "link in the comments" — don't put it in the body.
≈ “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.

LinkedIn voice & style
When writing or editing a LinkedIn post:
- Hook first. Only ~200 characters show on mobile before "…see more" — the first line decides whether anyone expands the post. Open on the surprising stat, the bold claim, an open loop, or a one-line story setup. No throat-clearing, no "A few thoughts on…".
- One idea per post. If you have two, write two posts. How-tos and concrete lists land best.
- Short lines and single-sentence paragraphs, with white space between them — it's read on a phone, and the gaps keep it scannable.
- Concrete and specific: a number, a result, a before/after, a moment. No vague inspiration.
- Deliver the value in the feed. Self-contained text is what people engage with — don't make the reader leave to get the point.
- End with a genuine question or a clear takeaway, not a "thoughts? 👇" prompt. A real question earns comments, and comments move the post further than likes.
- At most one emoji, and only if it earns its place. 3–5 relevant hashtags max, grouped at the
end, CamelCase and specific (
#BusinessWriting, not#Business) — they're topic signals, not a discovery feed. - No "I'm humbled to announce", no engagement-bait, no "Agree?" closers or reaction-poll chains.
- Links suppress reach. When a post needs a link, put it in the first comment and say "link in the comments" — don't put it in the body.
Structure
- Hook — the surprising claim or the moment, line one (before the fold).
- Turn — the tension, or the thing most people get wrong.
- Payoff — what you learned, with a concrete detail.
- Close — one question or one takeaway.

Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
