Curated agent skills.
Rigor with calm.
Eleven portable skills I actually use. Finish long-horizon work for real. Reason past plausible stories. Pressure-test products with honest synthetic panels. Write responses and interfaces people can scan. No project law, no product names, no private tooling — drop them into any agent.
Skills
Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md — the portable Agent Skills format.
RIGOR CORE
execution-rigor
Long-horizon execution that finishes for real: observable definition-of-done, per-task verification, shortcut tripwire scans, adversarial pre-completion audit.
read SKILL.md →truth-loop
Reasoning that converges on truth, not plausibility: hypotheses kept alive, evidence that can hurt, contradiction ledgers, a falsifier on every conclusion.
read SKILL.md →goodtalk
Audit and recode instruction language so humans and agents stop accidentally pressuring each other. Research / standards / suggest / execute / recode / publish modes.
read SKILL.md →MOVING & PROVING WORK
keep-going
Maintain progress on multi-step, long-running work: explicit remaining state, one causal unit at a time, milestone reviews, honest handoffs.
read SKILL.md →coherence-engine
Focus and pruning for long-horizon tasks: flow perception, cut what does not serve the core intent, autonomy with a clear reversible line.
read SKILL.md →verification-hygiene
Prove claims against the real artifact: the narrowest falsifying check, required consequences per change type, reject false green.
read SKILL.md →adversarial-reviewer
Evidence-first review with one verdict — SHIP / BLOCKED / REWORK / MORE PROOF — highest blast radius first, smallest honest remediation.
read SKILL.md →focus-group
Run labeled synthetic user panels with causal participant selection, bounded complete transcripts, evidence-aware findings, and predictable project outcomes.
read SKILL.md →RESPONSES & CRAFT
wat
ADHD-friendly response overlay: answer first, one screen, evidence kept, one next action. For status, summaries, and handoffs.
read SKILL.md →roast-review
Evidence-backed critique: funny, ruthless, specific reduction to the target's weaknesses, plus a concrete escape plan.
read SKILL.md →tui-design
Terminal UI craft: layout paradigms, keyboard and focus models, semantic color, animation, anti-pattern and compatibility checklists.
