Write or review anything an agent reads — a core rule, a profile gate, a SKILL.md description, an instruction-file line, a subagent prompt, a handoff note, a verify-phase label. Part of the Agentsmith harness; supplies the levers that decide whether a line changes behaviour or only costs tokens — the two loads, context pointers, the ladder, completion criteria, leading words, the no-op test. Its default move is deletion, so it earns most on a draft that already exists.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'writing-rules' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'writing-rules' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named writing-rules already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/PromptPartner/agentsmith' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '610914b5c8c24904de0259d70b74cb0d9b0289a4' -- 'skills/writing-rules' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/writing-rules' ~/.agents/skills/'writing-rules' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'writing-rules' ~/.claude/skills/'writing-rules' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
