LifeOS skills

Physics-based reasoning framework (Musk methodology) that deconstructs a problem to irreducible fundamental truths, classifies every element as hard constraint, soft constraint, or assumption, then reconstructs the optimal solution from fundamentals alone.

NOT FOR people/company/entity deep background, academic papers (use ArXiv), JSON entity extraction, or content-adaptive wisdom extraction (use ExtractWisdom).

Detects AI-generated writing four ways — a heuristic audit against a catalog of known AI patterns, deterministic statistical signals (n-gram entropy, burstiness, repetition, stylometry — features never verdicts), an empirical Pangram score calibrated against known-human baselines, and a keyless scan for watermark and steganography signatures (invisible characters, homoglyphs, bidi, odd whitespace) in the bytes. USE WHEN detect AI writing, is this AI, AI detection, AI detector, did an AI write this, does this sound like AI, AI writing score, pangram, scan for AI tells, flag AI patterns, AI-isms, statistical AI signals, burstiness, text entropy, is this watermarked, detect watermark, steganography, zero-width chars, hidden characters, invisible unicode, compare drafts for AI-ness. NOT FOR rewriting prose to strip AI patterns (use a voice/authoring skill), plagiarism detection, detecting AI-generated images/video/code, or judging whether writing is any good.

Design and integrate web interfaces via three paths: DirectDesign (write design inline with Anthropic frontend-design philosophy — the default workhorse), native /design + /design-sync Claude Code commands (preferred for code integration and design-system sync), or ClaudeDesign (drive claude.ai/design through Interceptor — experimental visual-review fallback).

NOT FOR network/wifi diagnostics, website or deployed-app health monitoring, or security scanning.

Mandatory orchestrator for all LifeOS skill work — creating, editing, adding a workflow or tool, renaming, validating, or canonicalizing any skill.

USE WHEN local news, hometown news, council meeting, building permits, mayor, ballot measures, ordinance, recent arrests, civic intel, local digest. NOT FOR national news or arbitrary-city crime.

Defensive threat modeling and risk management for your own estate — map where sensitive data lives across your asset graph, run compromise scenarios (what a hacked asset exposes, its blast radius, how you'd respond), and maintain a persistent risk register with likelihood×impact scoring, owners, mitigations, and review cadence via a deterministic CLI. All real data stays in your private USER tree; this skill is code only. USE WHEN threat model, threat modeling, risk register, risk assessment, what if X got hacked, compromise scenario, blast radius, sensitive data map, where is our sensitive data, data classification, risk review, add a risk, accept a risk, security risk posture. NOT FOR active pentesting or exploitation (use an offensive-security skill), world-scale futures stress-testing of ideas (use WorldThreatModel), or executing incident response (use your incident-response runbooks — this skill plans them).

NOT FOR vulnerability research, security news, or investment advice.

Owns the Ideal State Artifact — the primitive holding a project or task's articulated ideal state; scaffolds, interviews, grills a half-formed idea into shape via checkpointed discovery, scores completeness, reconciles feature excerpts to master, seeds from a repo, and appends decisions/changelog/verification across a locked seventeen-section order. USE WHEN ISA, ISC, ideal state, ideal state criteria, project specification, hill-climb, articulating done, fog, not yet specified, grill me, discovery interview.

USE WHEN aperture oscillation, oscillate scope, zoom in and out, tactical vs strategic, scope framing, design tension, system coherence check, local vs global design, wrong scope, scope negotiation. NOT FOR lens rotation across angles (use IterativeDepth).

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.

USE WHEN daemon, update daemon, daemon profile, deploy daemon, preview daemon, read daemon, public profile, digital presence. NOT FOR LifeOS system management.

Scaffolding that helps a writer build a story they already want to tell — fills in structure, hidden wound, theme, and prose from the writer's own material across seven narrative layers, deriving the spine from their notes as proposals they ratify. Bans generic AI patterns; scales short story to multi-book series. USE WHEN write story, fiction, novel, chapter, story bible, character arc, plot outline, creative writing, worldbuilding, draft story, help me write my story, develop my novel, layer my story, build out my book, I have notes for a story. NOT FOR narrative summaries of real content.

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 weight, simplify setup, clean up CLAUDE.md. NOT FOR attacking logical flaws in ideas (use RedTeam).
