AI-powered audio and video editing pipeline: Whisper word-level transcription (insanely-fast-whisper on MPS) → Claude segment classification (KEEP / CUT_FILLER / CUT_FALSE_START / CUT_STUTTER / CUT_DEAD_AIR / CUT_EDIT_MARKER) → ffmpeg execution with 40ms qsin crossfades and room-tone gap fill → optional Cleanvoice API cloud polish for mouth sounds and loudness normalization. Distinguishes rhetorical pauses from accidental ones. Breaths attenuated to 50% volume (not removed). Preview mode (--p...

Divergent ideation and corpus expansion using Verbalized Sampling + extended thinking. Single-shot mode generates 5 internally diverse candidates (p<0.10 each) and surfaces the strongest. Multi-turn mode expands a small seed corpus (5-20 examples) into a diverse N-example dataset for evals, training, or test sets. Research-backed: Zhang et al. 2025 (arXiv:2510.01171) — 1.6-2.1x diversity increase on creative writing, 25.7% quality improvement, and synthetic-data downstream accuracy lift 30.6%...

Multi-agent collaborative debate that produces visible round-by-round transcripts with genuine intellectual friction. All council members are custom-composed via ComposeAgent (Agents skill) with domain expertise, unique voice, and personality tailored to the specific topic — never built-in generic types. ComposeAgent invoked as: bun run ~/.claude/skills/Agents/Tools/ComposeAgent.ts. Two workflows: DEBATE (3 rounds, full transcript + synthesis, parallel execution within rounds, 40-90 seconds t...

Generate production-ready TypeScript CLIs using a 3-tier template system: Tier 1 llcli-style manual arg parsing (zero deps, Bun + TypeScript, ~300-400 lines — 80% of cases), Tier 2 Commander.js (subcommands, nested options, auto-help — 15%), Tier 3 oclif reference only (enterprise scale — 5%). Every generated CLI includes full implementation, README + QUICKSTART docs, package.json with Bun, tsconfig strict mode, type-safe throughout, JSON output, exit code compliance. Workflows: CreateCli (fr...

Complete PAI skill development lifecycle across two tracks. Structure track: scaffold new skills (TitleCase dirs, flat 2-level max, Workflows/ + Tools/ + References/ only), validate against canonical format, canonicalize existing skills. Effectiveness track (Anthropic methodology): TestSkill spawns with-skill vs baseline agents in parallel and compares outputs, ImproveSkill diagnoses root causes and rewrites instructions with reasoning over rigid constraints, OptimizeDescription generates 20 ...

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

Improve an existing skill based on test feedback, user observations, or quality concerns. This is the revision half of the test-iterate loop.

Test a skill's effectiveness by running it against real prompts and comparing with a no-skill baseline. Inspired by Anthropic's skill-creator methodology: the only way to know if a skill works is to run it on real prompts and compare outputs with and without the skill.

**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.

Parallelize work via six patterns: built-in agents (Engineer/Architect/Algorithm/Explore/Plan via Task), worktree-isolated agents (conflict-free parallel file edits), background agents (run_in_background: true, non-blocking), custom agents (ComposeAgent via Agents skill → Task general-purpose), agent teams (TeamCreate + TaskCreate + SendMessage for multi-turn peer coordination), and parallel task dispatch (N identical operations). Two-tier delegation: lightweight (haiku, max_turns=3, one-shot...

Comprehensive AI agent evaluation framework with three grader types (code-based: deterministic/fast; model-based: nuanced/LLM rubric; human: gold standard) and pass@k / pass^k scoring. Evaluates agent transcripts, tool-call sequences, and multi-turn conversations — not just single outputs. Supports capability evals (~70% pass target) and regression evals (~99% pass target). Workflows: RunEval, CompareModels, ComparePrompts, CreateJudge, CreateUseCase, RunScenario, CreateScenario, ViewResults....

Content-adaptive wisdom extraction that reads the content first, detects what wisdom domains are actually present, then builds custom sections around what it finds — instead of forcing static headers every time. A security talk gets 'Threat Model Insights' and 'Defense Strategies'; a business podcast gets 'Contrarian Business Takes' and 'Money Philosophy'. Five depth levels: Instant (1 section), Fast (3 sections), Basic (3+takeaway), Full (5-12 sections, default), Comprehensive (10-15+themes)...

Physics-based reasoning framework (Musk/Elon methodology) that deconstructs problems to irreducible fundamental truths rather than reasoning by analogy. Three-step structure: 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: constituent-parts breakdown, const...

Structured multi-angle exploration that runs 2-8 sequential passes through the same problem, each from a systematically different scientific lens, to surface requirements and edge cases invisible from any single angle. Grounded in 20 established techniques across cognitive science (Hermeneutic Circle, Triangulation), AI/ML (Self-Consistency, Ensemble Methods), requirements engineering (Viewpoint-Oriented RE), and design thinking (Six Thinking Hats, Causal Layered Analysis). Each pass outputs ...

Generate prioritized PAI upgrade recommendations via 4 parallel threads: Thread 0 (prior-work audit — reads current Algorithm, PATTERNS.yaml, hooks, settings, recent ISAs, and KNOWLEDGE to assign Prior Status tags), Thread 1 (user context — TELOS goals, active projects, PAI system state), Thread 2 (source collection — Anthropic releases, YouTube channels, GitHub trending, custom sources), Thread 3 (internal reflections — Algorithm execution Q1/Q2 patterns). Output format: Discoveries table ra...

Military-grade adversarial analysis that deploys 32 parallel expert agents (engineers, architects, pentesters, interns) to stress-test ideas, strategies, and plans — not systems or infrastructure. Two workflows: ParallelAnalysis (5-phase: decompose into 24 atomic claims → 32-agent parallel attack → synthesis → steelman → counter-argument, each 8 points) and AdversarialValidation (competing proposals synthesized into best solution). Context files: Philosophy.md (core principles, success criter...

Integrates PAI_THEME constants from Theme.ts and Art skill aesthetic preferences for visual consistency. Render command: bunx remotion render {composition-id} ~/Downloads/{name}.mp4. Output always to ~/Downloads/ for preview first. Tools: Render.ts (render, list compositions, create projects) and Theme.ts (PAI t...

Comprehensive research and content extraction with 4 depth modes: Quick (1 Perplexity agent, ~10-15s), Standard (4 agents — Claude + Gemini + Grok + Perplexity, cross-checked, ~30-60s), Extensive (7 explorers + 2 independent verifiers, ~60-90s), Deep Investigation (progressive iteration with persistent MEMORY/RESEARCH/ vault, loop-compatible, ~3-60min). Every URL verified before delivery — hallucinated links are a catastrophic failure. Verification architecture: per-agent self-verification, c...

Transforms product documentation into sales-ready narrative packages combining story explanation, charcoal gestural sketch art, and talking points. Pipeline: extract narrative arc → determine emotional register (wonder, determination, hope) → derive visual scene → generate assets. Three workflows: CreateSalesPackage (full pipeline — narrative + charcoal sketch visual + key talking points), CreateNarrative (story only, 8-24 numbered points in first-person conversational voice, captures why-it-...

The scientific method as a universal problem-solving algorithm — goal-first, hypothesis-plural, falsifiable experiments, honest measurement. Seven core workflows: DefineGoal, GenerateHypotheses (minimum 3 required — single-hypothesis testing is confirmation bias), DesignExperiment, MeasureResults, AnalyzeResults, Iterate, and FullCycle. Two diagnostic shortcuts: QuickDiagnosis (15-minute rule for fast debugging) and StructuredInvestigation (complex multi-factor issues). Scales across micro (T...

Dual-context Life OS and organizational analysis skill. Personal TELOS: read and update goals, beliefs, wisdom, books, movies, challenges, narratives, strategies, mission, mental models, predictions, traumas, frames, lessons-learned, and wrong-beliefs stored in the USER/TELOS/ directory — all via the Update workflow with timestamped backups and change logging. Valid personal files: BELIEFS.md, BOOKS.md, CHALLENGES.md, FRAMES.md, GOALS.md, LEARNED.md, MISSION.md, MODELS.md, MOVIES.md, NARRATIV...

Constructs fiction across seven simultaneous narrative layers (Meaning, Character Change, Plot, Mystery, World, Relationships, Prose) powered by Will Storr's Science of Storytelling, Pressfield's structure framework (Concept/Hook/Clothesline/Theme-as-question/Villain/Gift), and Mark Forsyth's Elements of Eloquence for rhetorical figures. Character arcs follow Storr's sacred flaw → crisis → transformation model. Anti-cliche system bans generic AI patterns. Story Bible is PRD-based — maps all 7...

Hyperliquid market data, account history, trade review.

Plan, set up, and monitor a multi-agent video production pipeline backed by Hermes Kanban. Use when the user wants to make ANY video — narrative film, product/marketing, music video, explainer, ASCII/terminal art, abstract/generative loop, comic, 3D, real-time/installation — and the work warrants decomposition into specialized profiles (writer, designer, animator, renderer, voice, editor, etc.) coordinated through a kanban board. Performs adaptive discovery to scope the brief, designs an appr...
