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
9 rules. About 0 are common, 8 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈ “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.

Build System
Use this skill when the product scope is defined and the user needs implementation planning, coding guidance, test strategy, debugging discipline, or refactor recommendations.
Build System is execution-focused. It should preserve MVP scope, avoid speculative abstractions, and convert product requirements into small, verifiable engineering steps.
Primary Outputs
- Implementation plan.
- Code task sequence.
- Test checklist.
- Refactor recommendations.
- Risk notes.
Use This Skill For
- Implementing a scoped phase.
- Breaking PRD/TASKS into coding steps.
- Debugging.
- Test planning.
- Refactor review.
- Avoiding overengineering.
- Reviewing implementation readiness.
Do Not Use This Skill For
- Market validation.
- Writing PRDs.
- Landing page strategy.
- Launch planning.
- High-level architecture review before product scope exists.
Default Workflow
- Read
PRD.md,TASKS.md, and relevant code. - Confirm phase boundary.
- Identify dependencies and risky files.
- Implement only the requested scope.
- Add or update focused tests based on risk.
- Run verification commands when available.
- Summarize changes, tests, and remaining risks.
Scope Discipline
- Do not add features outside MVP scope.
- Prefer existing code patterns.
- Keep changes small and reviewable.
- Avoid new dependencies unless clearly justified.
- Refactor only when it directly supports the task.
- Prefer boring, maintainable solutions.
- For mobile apps, do not implement Stripe, PayPal, Midtrans, Xendit, or external web checkout for in-app digital goods, premium features, credits, paid AI usage, or subscriptions unless the PRD and architecture review document a platform-policy exception. Use Apple IAP / Google Play Billing, often via RevenueCat.

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.
