Find deepening opportunities in a codebase by examining module depth, seams, coupling, and testability. Use when the user wants to improve architecture, find refactoring opportunities, consolidate tightly-coupled modules, or make a codebase more testable and AI-navigable.

Files found in the same public projects as a version of this one, more often than they turn up anywhere else. Each project counts once, large collections count for less, and this file's own repository is left out.
StijnusSkillapp-brief
One-page brief (docs/BRIEF.md) for a new macOS app, written before any code. Use when the user has an app idea, wants to replace an app they pay for, or the research and clone skills are done.
Also in 3 projects that use this
StijnusSkilldesign-from-app
Rebuild the look of an app the user likes as a native SwiftUI design kit, by measuring its screenshots (sizes, spacing, type, colors, icons), building its parts, and comparing pixel by pixel until they match. Use when the user names an app whose look they want, shares screenshots of one, or says "make it look like X".

launchapp-devSkilllayout-grid
Define responsive layout grid systems with columns, gutters, margins, and breakpoint behavior.

MohamedAbdallah-14Skillapp-icon
Generate an app icon from a single 1024² master and fan out to iOS (AppIcon.appiconset with squircle-ready 1024 opaque), Android (adaptive foreground + background + Android 13 monochrome), PWA (192/512 + 512 maskable with 80% safe zone), and visionOS (3-layer parallax).
Also in 3 projects that use this
timeplus-ioSkillbuild-and-verify
Build, compile, run server/client/cluster, execute unit/stateless/SQL tests, verify results, and troubleshoot build/test failures. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions building, compiling, ninja, cmake, running tests, test failures, starting the server, or pre-commit checks, even if they just say 'it doesn't build' or 'the test broke'.
Also in 3 projects that use this
CrystalPlatformsSkillagent-cli
Design and audit CLIs that AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, automated pipelines) consume. Applies ten agent-native principles in two tiers — Tier 1 table stakes (non-interactive default, structured output, errors that enumerate, safe retries, bounded responses) and Tier 2 compounding (cross-CLI vocabulary, three-layer introspection, async-aware execution, persistent profiles, two-way I/O) — with a Blocker / Friction / Optimization severity rubric across six command classes (read, mutate, stream, bootstrap, async, config). Use when building, reviewing, or specifying a CLI for agent invocation, mentions argparse, click, cobra, clap, commander, yargs, oclif, thor, agent-friendly or agent-native CLI design, --json output, exit codes, idempotent commands, --wait flags, agent-context introspection, persistent profiles, --deliver routing, --force bypass, vocabulary consistency, or repos with cli.py, main.go, src/cli.rs, bin/<tool>. Skip general shell scripting and human-only TUIs.

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, 4 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 12 edited versions we read keep these.
4
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 12 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.
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.
