We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

• 0

  Common

  Most of the 9 edited versions we read keep these.

• 1

  Distinctive

  This author's own choices. Worth a look.

• 2

  Very specific

  Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

• Common
• Distinctive
• Very specific

1. Very specific:

   Read .claude/skills/research-first/SKILL.md for the source protocol.

   line 10
2. Distinctive:

   Do not plan implementation until the relevant unknowns are resolved or explicitly marked as risks.

   line 17
3. Very specific:

   When research affects OpenAI product usage, use the openai-docs skill and official sources only.

   line 19

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 9 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.

  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.
