The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
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 32
Use exactly AIM, BACKGROUND, OWN, CONTRAST, BASIS, TEXTUAL, and OTHER.
≈ “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.

Argumentative Zoning
Orchestration Pattern
- Fetch the paper; stop on
not_found. - Segment the requested scope with sentence granularity and preserve
{line, start, end}offsets. Write01-unit-segmentation.json. - Classify every unit with
label_set: argumentative-zoning,hierarchy_toggle: false, andoutput_type: single_label. Write02-unit-classification.json.
Use exactly AIM, BACKGROUND, OWN, CONTRAST, BASIS, TEXTUAL, and OTHER. Every sentence receives one label; use OTHER rather than skipping an uncertain unit. Narrow scopes are valid but not distributionally comparable to a full-text run.
Report scope, sentence count, zone counts, empty zones, and both paths.
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.
