The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Read <kit-dir>/BOOTSTRAP.md and follow it from the section that matches the request: install, upgrade, changing the skill selection, …
- Very specific: line 26
Run the installer with --dry-run first and show the user its plan before writing.

Never edit files inside the kit clone.

Do not commit, push, or open a pull request unless the user asks.
≈ “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.
Files
Bootstrap and upgrade vibe-harness
vibe-harness is a kit of agent skills and governance templates. A repository adopts it by copying the kit's files in with its installer, which records every managed file in .agents/vibe-harness.lock.json. This skill fetches the kit and hands control to the kit's own BOOTSTRAP.md, which owns the full procedure for the version you fetched.
Fetch the kit
- Find the kit repository:
kit.repositoryin.agents/vibe-harness.lock.jsonwhen it exists, otherwise the URL the user gave, otherwisehttps://github.com/zehuichan/vibe-harness. Clone it into a temporary directory outside the target repository; a partial clone keeps it small and still lets the installer fetch older files for three-way merges:
git clone --filter=blob:none <kit-repository> <kit-dir> git -C <kit-dir> tag --sort=-v:refname git -C <kit-dir> checkout <newest tag, or the ref the user named>Reuse an existing clone only after
git -C <kit-dir> fetch --tags origin. Use the default branch only when the kit has no tags or the user asks for it.- Read
<kit-dir>/BOOTSTRAP.mdand follow it from the section that matches the request: install, upgrade, changing the skill selection, status, or uninstall.
Rules that hold for every operation
- Run the installer with
--dry-runfirst and show the user its plan before writing. - Never edit files inside the kit clone; it is the upstream base for future merges.
- Exit code
2means conflicts that need a decision. Report every one; never hide a conflict by deleting the lock file, overwriting a local edit, or passing--skip-conflictswithout the user's agreement. - Fill
.agents/project-profile.mdonly with commands you ran successfully in this repository or facts you confirmed from its files. - Do not commit, push, or open a pull request unless the user asks.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

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.
