Each failure cluster is first coordinated with the agents on related branches through the coordinate skill, so a fix that already exists elsewhere is taken instead of duplicated. Every claimed cluster then goes to the funnel skill: one agent in its own worktree, branched from the exact current HEAD, with that cluster as its only concern, the cluster's artifact paths in its brief and a hard time cap. Dialectic, the shared-versus-hidden split and the fix run inside that sidetree. A fix reaches the main line only at 90 % fix confidence and under 5 % break risk after independent review; below that the cluster ends as a proposal. The per-job verdict now names the sidetree branch and the funnel verdict. Steps are renumbered; observe's reference to step 1 is unchanged.

skills 🧠
The agent skill collection of Kevin Veen-Birkenbach.
Every skill is pinned in skills-lock.json for reproducible installs.
First-party skills live under skills/ and are layered on top of the locked ones at install time.
Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and other agents.
Requirements 📦
- Node.js (provides
npx skills). jq(only required formake update).
Installation 🚀
Install the skills globally into your home (~/.agents/skills and ~/.claude/skills):
make install
Copy the skills into a specific project (<repo>/.agents/skills and <repo>/.claude/skills):
make project TARGET=/path/to/repo
Both commands also patch the target's .claude/settings.local.json — the machine-local, untracked file, so a project's reviewed .claude/settings.json is never rewritten by an install: the caveman and ponytail plugins are enabled so their modes auto-activate on session start, and two reminder hooks are registered — autotune points you at /autotune at most once an hour, dream points you at /dream at most once every twelve hours per repository (stamped in that repository's git dir). Existing settings are preserved.
Restart your agent afterwards so it loads the new skills.
Maintenance 🔧
Refresh every skill to its latest version and rewrite skills-lock.json:
make update
Validate skills-lock.json and shellcheck the scripts (also run by CI on every push and after every update):
make test
