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
5 rules. 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 4 edited versions we read keep these.
5
Distinctive
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 8
Use this skill when the task is specifically about Ahrefs data, exports, link intelligence, keyword gap analysis, or translating Ahrefs …
- Distinctive: line 15
Use Ahrefs data to support SEO decisions, not replace search intent analysis or technical review.
- Distinctive: line 19
Prefer current Ahrefs exports or user-provided Ahrefs data over assumptions.
- Distinctive: line 20
Call out metric limitations clearly.
- Distinctive: line 27
If the user wants live Ahrefs API data, verify whether credentials and endpoint details are available first.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 4 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.

Ahrefs Specialist
Use this skill when the task is specifically about Ahrefs data, exports, link intelligence, keyword gap analysis, or translating Ahrefs metrics into SEO actions.
Scope
- Interpret Ahrefs metrics such as DR, UR, backlinks, referring domains, organic traffic, traffic value, and keyword counts.
- Build action plans from Ahrefs exports instead of repeating raw numbers back to the user.
- Separate signal from noise. High DR alone is not a strategy.
- Use Ahrefs data to support SEO decisions, not replace search intent analysis or technical review.
Working Rules
- Prefer current Ahrefs exports or user-provided Ahrefs data over assumptions.
- Call out metric limitations clearly.
- Distinguish authority metrics from traffic metrics and from business value.
- Prioritize recommendations by likely impact:
- pages with strong impressions but weak links
- pages with link equity but weak intent match
- competitors winning with better topical coverage
- keyword clusters with realistic ranking gaps
- If the user wants live Ahrefs API data, verify whether credentials and endpoint details are available first. Do not invent undocumented endpoints.

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.
