pre-factor
Skill50 starsChanged 34 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Before implementing a feature or non-trivial change, scan the code it will land in and surface prep refactors that make the change easy — so the feature lands clean instead of accreting tech debt (Kent Beck "make the change easy, then make the easy change"). Use BEFORE writing code, when about to build a feature, add a new case/provider/handler to an existing pattern, restructure in service of upcoming work, or just after an implementation plan is set. Every proposal must trace to the upcoming change — not generic cleanups. Skip tiny edits and brand-new code; for changes already written use complexity-check instead.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
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 an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 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.

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.
