Claude Skills by ZDStudios

Install and onboard a user into LifeOS — the Life Operating System (current state → ideal state via TELOS + the Algorithm). The agentic installer detects your OS + harness, wires hooks with permission, scaffolds your USER tree, pulls in sources you provide, and runs the TELOS / current→ideal interview that seeds your Pulse dashboard. USE WHEN install LifeOS, set up LifeOS, lifeos setup, lifeos-setup, lifeos interview, onboard me, run the interview, integrate LifeOS into my harness, update Lif...

Compose CUSTOM agents from Base Traits + Voice + Specialization, and manage predefined functional TEAMS. Traits combine expertise (security, technical, research), personality (skeptical, analytical, enthusiastic), and approach (thorough, rapid, systematic). ComposeAgent.ts merges base + user config, outputs unique prompt + ElevenLabs voice + prosody. Predefined teams: engineering, architecture, marketing, design, security, research, content, strategy. Observer team variant: read-only oversigh...

3-pass scope oscillation that holds a question constant while shifting the scope envelope — narrow/tactical, wide/strategic, then synthesis — to surface design tensions invisible at any single zoom level. Pass 1 captures the component's own internal logic. Pass 2 reveals what the system needs it to be. Pass 3 finds where those views diverge — that delta is the output. Produces design tensions, scope recommendations, coherence assessments. Single workflow: Oscillate. Best integration point: Al...

Curated aphorism collection with CRUD — content-based matching, themed search, thinker research, DB maintenance. Quotes organized by author/theme/context/usage to prevent repetition. Four workflows: FindAphorism, AddAphorism, ResearchThinker, SearchAphorisms. Themes: Stoicism, Wisdom, Truth-seeking, Excellence, Resilience, Curiosity. USE WHEN aphorism, quote, find a quote, research thinker, add aphorism, quote for newsletter, what did X say about, quote bank. NOT FOR creative writing or socia...

Seven workflows: StandardCreativity, MaximumCreativity, IdeaGeneration, TreeOfThoughts, DomainSpecific, TechnicalCreativityGemini3, SyntheticDataExpansion (VS-Multi). USE WHEN be creative, brainstorm, divergent idea...

Three-layer bias analysis on any source — URL, file path, or raw text. Auto-fetches the content plus any underlying study cited, then audits (1) data-level biases (funding, sampling, question design, self-report, causal inflation, publication), (2) source-organization conflicts of interest, (3) journalism-added distortions (headline-vs-source swap, frame escalation, echo-chain). Output separates what the data actually supports from what's editorialized. USE WHEN bias analysis, analyze bias, b...

Audits any AI instruction set for over-prompting using the core test — would a smarter model make this rule unnecessary? Applies Five Questions to every rule (Claude already does this? Contradiction? Redundant? One-off fix? Vague?) then classifies as CUT/RESOLVE/MERGE/EVALUATE/SHARPEN/MOVE/KEEP. Workflows: Audit (full system, token savings), QuickCheck (single file). Principle: less scaffolding = better output. USE WHEN BPE, bitter pill, audit setup, over-prompting, trim instructions, dead we...

4-tier progressive scraping with automatic escalation: Tier 1 WebFetch, Tier 2 curl with Chrome headers, Tier 3 agent-browser (headless JS rendering), Tier 4 Bright Data MCP proxy (CAPTCHA, advanced bot detection, residential proxies).

Find prior LifeOS work — sessions, ISAs, conversations — by topic, partial words, or date phrases like 'yesterday' / 'last week' / 'YYYY-MM-DD'. Deterministic Bun CLI searches five sources in parallel (work.json registry, session-names.json titles, MEMORY/WORK/ dir names, ISA bodies, conversation jsonl via ripgrep), parses date phrases into bounded since/until filters, scores by token-overlap × recency, dedupes by slug, returns ranked results with snippets. Standalone mode presents results th...

Multi-agent collaborative debate producing visible round-by-round transcripts with real intellectual friction. Members custom-composed via ComposeAgent with domain expertise tailored to the topic — never generic. Workflows: DEBATE (3 rounds, full transcript + synthesis, parallel within rounds, 40-90s), QUICK (1 round, fast perspective check). 4-6 well-composed agents outperform 12 generic ones. Collaborative-adversarial — debate to find the best path. USE WHEN council, debate, multiple perspe...

Gates: zero TS errors, exit codes 0/1, --help comprehensive, jq-pipeable JSON. U...

MANDATORY for ALL skill work — you MUST invoke this skill BEFORE creating, modifying, adding a workflow/tool to, renaming, validating, or canonicalizing ANY skill. Handrolling skill files (writing SKILL.md or Workflows/Tools/References by hand) is FORBIDDEN per skills/CLAUDE.md — ALWAYS spawn this first and let it orchestrate; reading its workflows and doing the steps yourself is the exact anti-pattern it prevents. Owns the LifeOS skill lifecycle: scaffold (public TitleCase vs private _ALLCAP...

**Purpose:** Restructure an existing skill to match the canonical format with proper naming conventions.

Create a new skill following the canonical structure with proper TitleCase naming.

**Purpose:** Add workflows or modify an existing skill while maintaining canonical structure and TitleCase naming.

**Purpose:** Check if an existing skill follows the canonical structure with proper TitleCase naming.

Manage the public daemon profile — a digital representation of what you're working on. DaemonAggregator reads LifeOS sources (TELOS, KNOWLEDGE, PROJECTS, MEMORY/WORK, identity) → daemon-data.json. SecurityFilter strips names/paths/credentials via deterministic patterns (NOT LLM). Workflows: UpdateDaemon, ReadDaemon, PreviewDaemon, DeployDaemon. USE WHEN daemon, update daemon, daemon profile, deploy daemon, preview daemon, read daemon, public profile, digital presence. NOT FOR LifeOS system ma...

Parallelize work via six patterns: built-in agents (Algorithm/Explore/Plan/general-purpose via Task), worktree-isolated agents (conflict-free parallel edits), background agents (run_in_background, non-blocking), custom agents (ComposeAgent → Task), agent teams (TeamCreate + TaskCreate + SendMessage for multi-turn coordination), parallel task dispatch. Two-tier: lightweight (haiku, max_turns=3, one-shot) vs full (multi-step). Decision rule: agents need to talk or share state → Teams; independe...

Comprehensive AI agent evaluation framework with three grader types (code-based: deterministic; model-based: LLM rubric; human: gold standard) and pass@k / pass^k scoring.

Physics-based reasoning framework (Musk methodology) that deconstructs problems to irreducible fundamental truths rather than reasoning by analogy. Three steps: DECONSTRUCT (break to constituent parts and actual values), CHALLENGE (classify every element as hard constraint / soft constraint / unvalidated assumption — only physics is truly immutable), RECONSTRUCT (build optimal solution from fundamentals alone, ignoring inherited form). Outputs: parts breakdown, constraint table, reconstructed...

Apply hardening techniques to LifeOS's test and code surface — property-based testing via fast-check (ISCs as universally-quantified claims, random inputs shrunk to minimal counterexamples), mutation testing via Stryker, CRAP-complexity scoring, DRY duplication detection, acceptance-test mutation (perturb ISC text to catch fluff). Strengthens existing tests, never adds functionality; detail in body. USE WHEN harden, hardening, property test, property based testing, PBT, fast-check, mutation t...

Mine a single piece of content (URL, YouTube video, article, raw text, or file) for anything genuinely useful to LifeOS, judged against the whole system — TELOS, the Algorithm, skills, hooks, memory, Pulse, routing, doctrine. Fetches it, extracts candidate ideas/techniques/patterns/tools/framings, tags each with a Prior Status (NEW/PARTIAL/DONE/REJECTED), ranks by usefulness × novelty × effort, and reports where each maps and how we would use it. Report-only; adopting anything is a separate a...
