PRs welcome. Per house policy they will be approved without being read (see lgtm), so the quality bar is enforced entirely by your conscience.
To report a problem, open a skill issue.
- It must be real. A pattern you have watched a specific human run more than once. Composite characters are fine; inventions are not. If nobody winces, it doesn't ship.
- It must be procedural. "Be arrogant" is a vibe. An escalation ladder, a timing window, a ratio, a protocol: that's an anti-skill. The comedy and the sociology both live in the mechanism.
- It must play it straight. The YAML description states the espoused theory with a completely straight face. The body documents the theory-in-use with the loving precision of a real skill file. The file never admits the joke until the footer.
- Cite when you can. Several of these patterns have peer-reviewed lineage (Argyris 1986, Oncken and Wass 1974, Parkinson 1957, OSS 1944). A real citation, deployed earnestly, is the house style.
- Invert the sections. Anti-patterns list competent behavior. Success metrics reward the dysfunction. Progression runs novice to master.
- Footer required. Every SKILL.md ends with the standard disclosure line. We are documenting the workplace, not booby-trapping it.
Your PR will be triaged within two days, tops.
