Team of Rivals
AI assistants tend to agree with you, even when your idea is... ill-advised. This skill set provides a panel of role-specific advisory agents that argue from focussed perspectives. Inspired by Lincoln's executive cabinet strategy: appoint your most challenging opponents to senior roles, rather than loyalists, so you receive direct and honest feedback from different perspectives. They will disagree with each other and they will disagree with you. The result is synthesized into a single honest recommendation designed to help identify blind spots and promote critical thinking.
| Agent | Perspective |
|---|---|
| Visionary | Expands possibilities, challenges constraints, identifies moonshot opportunities |
| Skeptic | Demands evidence, calculates failure probabilities, exposes hidden assumptions |
| Operator | Maps resources, identifies dependencies, grounds vision in execution reality |
| Ethicist | Evaluates stakeholder impact, assesses long-term consequences, applies moral frameworks |
Filesystem-backed agent memory
Three skills for explicit memory operations that complement Claude Code's native auto memory and /recap. consolidate audits knowledge directories and graduates stable feedback memories to permanent rules. briefing produces a cross-tool session-start orientation from your issue tracker, git history, and staleness signals. working manages an ephemeral .memory/ directory with an explicit checkpoint → promote → cleanup lifecycle.
| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| consolidate | Audit knowledge dirs and auto memory; produce an editable cleanup plan; execute approved actions |
| briefing | Session-start briefing from issue tracker + git + working memory + staleness signals |
| working | Structured ephemeral state — todos, decisions, questions — with promotion to permanent locations |
Tool-agnostic: prompts the user for issue-tracker / ADR / docs locations rather than assuming a specific stack.
AI-slop content audit
Named for the Cynic who walked Athens in daylight with a lit lamp looking for an honest man. The audit skill (invoked as /diogenes:audit) forks a Sonnet subagent into a clean context, immune to upstream conversation bias, and judges whether a piece of writing reads as a competent human's work or as forwarded LLM output. It returns a verdict, an attributable findings table (quoted spans, named patterns, cited research), structural metrics, and a human rewrite of the weakest passage.
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| audit | Six-category detection framework, required output format, and failure modes |
| diogenes | Senior-reviewer subagent (Sonnet, read-only tools plus WebFetch) that runs the audit |
Findings cite a fixed set of three peer-reviewed papers (Juzek & Ward 2025, Muñoz-Ortiz 2024, Reinhart et al. 2025); citations outside that set are forbidden.
Interactive HTML briefs
Plans, specs, option comparisons, and annotated reviews are spatial information a markdown wall flattens. The brief skill (invoked as /brief:brief, or by description on phrases like "give me a plan" or "compare X vs Y") renders them as a single self-contained .html file with inline decision controls and a sticky copy-to-prompt button. You read, navigate, and pick inside the artifact; your choices return as a clean execution prompt for the next context window. The skill inherits each project's visual identity from its rules rather than hardcoding a palette.
| Element | Purpose |
|---|---|
| brief | Component contract, two-track prompt rendering, and anti-patterns for the interactive brief, plus a self-contained reference example |
Diataxis-grounded documentation authoring
Agents generate and relocate documentation without a theory of what kind of document they are writing, and the result mixes modes inside a single file: a how-to carrying half a page of rationale, a tutorial offering options, a reference page carrying opinion. scriptorium ships the docs skill for Diataxis-grounded documentation routing and authoring.
