What problem does it solve?
Practitioners keep cross-project rules in a global CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md file whose path varies per machine and is often a symlink, so every session starts with manually hunting down and re-reading that file. This Skill resolves the file, reports its real path, and restates the rule topics in the conversation so the conventions in force stay visible.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Global rules resolution: Checks canonical host paths (~/.codex/AGENTS.md, ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, and variants), resolves symlinks, and reports broken links as a distinct state.
- Topic surfacing: Extracts topics from the global rules, repo binding docs (AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, GUIDELINES.md, ADRs), and kit rule-set layers, ordered by binding force with the source file named per topic.
- Conflict and staleness flags: Reports rules that shadow each other or cite files and commands that no longer exist, without modifying anything.
- Use Case: You open a new repository and ask what conventions govern the work; the Skill locates your global rules file, lists its topics alongside the repo's binding docs, and flags one stale rule referencing a deleted script.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant to read your global CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md and list the rule topics currently in force for this repository.
