- ▌ Postmortem · lyndonkl bundleConducts blameless postmortems that transform failures into learning opportunities by documenting timelines, quantifying impact, performing root cause analysis (5 Whys, fishbone diagrams), and defining corrective actions with owners and deadlines. Use when analyzing failures, outages, incidents, or negative outcomes, conducting blameless postmortems, identifying corrective actions, learning from near-misses, establishing prevention strategies, or when user mentions postmortem, incident review, failure analysis, RCA, lessons learned, or after-action review.
- ▌ Audit Drift · lyndonklChecks every post currently assigned to a substacker section against that section's promise and flags posts that no longer fit. Distinguishes acceptable-stretch (minor) from borderline (surface for review) from genuine-drift (violates promise). Never reassigns automatically — only flags. Use on every Curator run where at least one section already exists. Trigger keywords — drift, drift audit, section fit, promise violation, post in wrong section.
- ▌ Debt Design · lyndonkl bundleMatches the kind of debt a firm issues to the assets it finances — maturity, currency, fixed or floating, and features such as convertibility or commodity linkage — using asset duration and the sensitivity of firm value and operating income to interest rates, inflation, real growth and exchange rates. Use when advising on what debt to issue, reviewing an existing debt structure, choosing debt maturity or debt currency, deciding fixed versus floating, or after finding an optimal debt ratio.
- ▌ Role Switch · lyndonkl bundleAnalyzes decisions from multiple stakeholder perspectives (engineering, product, legal, finance, users) to uncover blind spots, surface tensions, and synthesize alignment paths with explicit tradeoffs. Use when stakeholders have conflicting priorities, need to pressure-test proposals, build cross-functional empathy, or when user mentions "what would X think", "stakeholder alignment", "see from their perspective", "blind spots", or "conflicting interests".
- ▌ Voice Check · lyndonklScans a substacker draft line-by-line against the canonical voice-profile.md don't-list and signature moves. Emits phrase-level flags with location, quoted phrase, violation type, voice-profile citation, and up-to-2 suggested rewrites per flag. Use as pass-2 skill (voice) after structural-review completes, when a draft reads competent but not in the writer's voice, or when the writer asks "does this sound like me?" Trigger keywords — voice check, delve, unpack, paradigm shift, sounds AI, does this sound like me, voice violation.
- ▌ Zettel Note · lyndonklThe note-writing discipline for this vault's evergreen knowledge graph, modeled on a Zettelkasten reading companion and governed by the vault conventions. Enforces declarative-claim titles, one claim per note (atomicity), own-words prose with no block quotes, the piped [[slug|Title]] link form, the labeled link-relationship vocabulary (Confirms/Contradicts/Extends/Context/Prerequisite/Builds-on/Applies/Example-of/Contrasts-with), 3-6 links per note, and search-before-create deduplication. Use when capturing a claim as an evergreen note, refactoring a sprawling note into atomic ones, or wiring a new claim into the graph. Trigger keywords — evergreen note, zettel, atomic note, declarative title, link relationships, search before create, route the claim.
- ▌ Genomics Viz · lyndonklBuilds interactive D3 visualizations of genetics and genomics concepts for the vault's docs/ GitHub Pages site — each one a teaching object with a takeaway-stating title, an annotation layer, and a guided reading order. Specializes d3-visualization, visual-storytelling-design, and cognitive-design for the crop-genetics / genomic-selection domain, supplying a concept-to-visualization catalog, preattentive encoding guidance, colorblind-safe palettes, accessibility requirements, and a fixed docs/ file layout. Delegates design review to the cognitive-design-architect agent and runs design-evaluation-audit and cognitive-fallacies-guard before publish. Use when turning an evergreen claim into an interactive figure, building or revising a docs/ visualization, or planning the site's viz layout. Trigger keywords — D3 viz, interactive figure, GitHub Pages chart, Hardy-Weinberg, Manhattan plot, allele drift, LD decay, breeder's equation, genomic prediction accuracy, reaction norm, kinship heatmap.
- ▌ Metrics Tree · lyndonkl bundleDecomposes high-level North Star metrics into actionable sub-metrics and leading indicators, maps causal relationships between metric levels, and identifies high-impact experiments to move key metrics. Use when setting product North Star metrics, decomposing business metrics into drivers, mapping strategy to measurable outcomes, identifying which metrics to move through experimentation, understanding leading vs lagging indicators, prioritizing metric improvement opportunities, or when user mentions metric tree, metric decomposition, North Star metric, KPI breakdown, metric drivers, or how metrics connect.
- ▌ Tag By Topic · lyndonklAssigns 1-4 topic tags to a seed body from the controlled vocabulary in substacker shared-context/topic-ledger.md. Prevents tag sprawl at small-corpus scale by requiring existing-tag match or logged addition. Uses keyword + title match; logs near-miss candidates to pending-tags. Use after format normalization and before dedupe. Trigger keywords — tag, topics, categorize, classify, taxonomy, controlled vocabulary, topic ledger.
- ▌ Wc Player Ev · lyndonklComputes one player's expected FIFA World Cup Fantasy points for a single round (xEV) from a scout signal — folding start probability, the 60-minute appearance cliff, fixture-and-minutes-scaled npxG/xA, clean-sheet and defensive-action floors, the penalty/set-piece premium, and the card/concede downside into one number plus its full decomposition, variance, ceiling, and floor. This is the atomic EV unit the whole system samples from. Use whenever a single player's per-round point distribution is needed — called by wc-scout, every wc-strategist genotype, wc-matchday-tactician, and wc-fitness-eval (which sums these into raw_xEV). Reads the scout signal; never re-scouts. Emits a player-ev signal.
- ▌ Advisory Edit · lyndonklA strict advisory-only editing discipline for a writer who dictates ("speaks out") essays and wants help WITHOUT having their voice changed. The editor directs structure, flags grammar, and suggests strategic language — but never modifies the writer's text unless the writer explicitly says "apply" / "make that change" / "rewrite this." Produces a line-referenced, suggestion-only critique where every item is marked the writer's call. Four passes — structural, line (grammar/clarity), voice, pre-publish. Use when reviewing a draft, critiquing a spoken-out article, or doing a pre-publish check. The companion to learning-in-public-voice and the operating manual for the biostat-editor agent.
- ▌ One Pager Prd · lyndonkl bundleCreates concise, decision-ready product specifications (one-pagers and PRDs) that align stakeholders on problem, solution, users, success metrics, and constraints. Use when proposing new features/products, documenting product requirements, creating concise specs for stakeholder alignment, pitching initiatives, scoping projects before detailed design, capturing user stories and success metrics, or when user mentions one-pager, PRD, product spec, feature proposal, product requirements, or brief.
- ▌ Search Corpus · lyndonklAnswers "what have I already thought about X?" by searching the substacker corpus (seeds, drafts, published) for seeds matching a topic, keyword, analogy, or author. Returns a ranked list of seeds with id, title, status, density score, and a one-line excerpt. Use when another agent (Intuition Builder, Editor) needs prior thinking before generating new material, or when the writer asks "have I written about X." Trigger keywords — search, find, what have I, already thought, prior work, precedent, have I written about.
- ▌ Skill Creator · lyndonkl bundleTransforms documents containing theoretical knowledge or frameworks (PDFs, markdown, book notes, research papers, methodology guides) into actionable, reusable Claude Code skills using systematic reading methodology. Use when user mentions "create a skill from this document", "turn this into a skill", "extract a skill from this file", or when analyzing documents with methodologies, frameworks, or processes that could be made actionable.
- ▌ Slop Detector · lyndonklScans a substacker draft for 10 signatures of AI-generated explainer slop — meta-framing openers ("In this post"), list-heavy argument, nominalization clusters, generic examples lacking first-person texture, prompt-residue phrases ("Let's break this down"), buzzword stuffing, outline-shaped paragraphs, hedge clusters, flattened uncertainty. Use when a draft "feels generic" even after voice-check passes. Trigger keywords — slop, AI-written, generic, template, meta-framing, zombie nouns, prompt residue, outline-shaped.
- ▌ Chef Assistant · lyndonkl bundleGuides cooking through culinary principles, food science, and flavor architecture rather than rote recipe steps. Covers technique teaching (knife skills, sauces, searing, braising), food science (Maillard reaction, emulsions, brining), flavor troubleshooting (salt/acid/fat/heat balance), menu planning, ingredient substitutions, plating, and cultural cuisine exploration. Use when users mention cooking, recipes, chef, cuisine, flavor, technique, plating, food science, seasoning, or culinary questions.
- ▌ Classify Claim · lyndonklAssigns each extracted claim to one of five buckets — simplified-correct, simplified-boundary, wrong, contested, overclaim — with low/medium/high confidence and one-sentence rationale. Classification happens before primary-source verification (which confirms, not invents). Use for every claim from claim-extractor. Trigger keywords — classify, bucket, simplified vs wrong, claim type, technical classification.
- ▌ Expected Value · lyndonkl bundleCalculates probability-weighted averages of all possible outcomes to enable rational decisions under uncertainty. Covers scenario identification, probability estimation, payoff quantification, and risk-adjusted interpretation. Use when comparing risky options (investments, product bets, strategic choices), prioritizing projects by expected return, assessing whether to take a gamble, or when user mentions expected value, EV calculation, risk-adjusted return, probability-weighted outcomes, or decision tree.
- ▌ Hedge Detector · lyndonklClassifies every hedge in a substacker draft as either a precision hedge (keep — "n=1 may not replicate", "I do not know") or an epistemic-weakness hedge (flag — "I think", "perhaps", "arguably", "it could be argued"). Only flags weakness hedges; suggests either a commit (remove hedge, take position) or a specific hedge (name the uncertainty). Use when a draft feels wishy-washy or when a cluster of modal verbs appears. Trigger keywords — hedging, I think, perhaps, arguably, uncertainty, weak claim, wishy-washy.
- ▌ Hook Generator · lyndonklGenerates 3-5 candidate first-line hooks for a specific platform (Substack Note, X, LinkedIn, cross-post) from a given spine. Uses platform-appropriate hook patterns (confession / claim / question / reframe) and voice-profile constraints. Runs before each platform rewrite so the rewrite skill picks the strongest hook rather than reusing the essay's opener verbatim on every platform. Trigger keywords — hook, opening line, platform hook, first tweet, LinkedIn hook, Substack Note hook.
- ▌ Mlb Faab Sizer · lyndonkl bundleComputes FAAB (Free Agent Acquisition Budget) recommended and maximum bids for Yahoo fantasy baseball waiver targets. Implements the baseball-specific layering of the faab-bid-framework (positional_need_fit, role_certainty, urgency, season_pace, league-inflation calibration) and DELEGATES the game-theoretic primitives -- first-price shading and winner's-curse haircut -- to the sibling skills `auction-first-price-shading` and `auction-winners-curse-haircut`. Produces a recommended bid, a hard ceiling, a rationale with the full delegation chain, and guardrail flags. Use when the user asks "how much should I bid on X", mentions FAAB bid, waiver bid amount, blind bid, Yahoo waiver claim sizing, or when mlb-waiver-analyst needs a bid amount for an identified target.
- ▌ Wc Chip Timing · lyndonklScores the deployment leverage of all five FIFA World Cup Fantasy boosters (Wildcard, 12th Man, Maximum Captain, Clean Sheet Shield, Qualification Booster) across the remaining tournament horizon — computing, for each chip and each candidate round, the EXTRA expected points the chip yields in that round versus an average round, then turning the leverage surface into a fire/hold call per chip this round plus a maintained earmark table (chip -> earmarked round -> trigger -> fallback). This is the math engine behind wc-chip-strategist. Reads the round's player-ev, clean-sheet, fixture/progression, ownership and captain-ladder signals plus tournament-state (chips remaining, phase, surviving nations); never re-derives them. Enforces the golden rule — never reach the semis with chips unused. Use whenever a chip decision is live (the chip-check prompt, the group->KO transition, or any round where a chip is earmarked or leverage spikes). Emits a chip-plan signal.
- ▌ Claim Extractor · lyndonklExtracts atomic technical claims from a substacker essay draft, converting flowing intuition-first prose into a numbered list where each item is a statement that could in principle be verified or falsified. Skips non-technical sections (personal anecdote, motivation, call-to-action). Use when the Technical Reviewer starts a per-draft review. Trigger keywords — extract claims, atomic claims, technical claim list, fact-check prep.
- ▌ Closer Critique · lyndonklEvaluates the final paragraph of a substacker draft for compression and closing form — bolded maxim, forward-looking question, or compressed mechanism statement. For series posts (frontmatter series — {slug}), verifies the running scoreboard (P&L, Brier, W-L) is present and updated. Use on every draft. Blocks publication of series posts missing the scoreboard. Trigger keywords — closer, closing, last paragraph, bolded maxim, scoreboard, CTA, wrap up, conclusion.
- ▌ Decision Matrix · lyndonkl bundleCompares multiple named alternatives against weighted criteria to produce transparent, defensible choices with explicit trade-off analysis. Covers criterion identification, weighting approaches (direct allocation, pairwise comparison, stakeholder averaging), scoring calibration, sensitivity analysis, and group decision facilitation. Use when choosing between vendors/tools/strategies, balancing competing priorities (cost vs quality vs speed), or when user mentions "which option should we choose", "compare alternatives", "evaluate vendors", or "trade-offs".
- ▌ Markdown To PDF · lyndonklRenders a markdown report to a PDF using pandoc with xelatex (11pt serif body, 1-inch margins, numbered footnotes, formal heading hierarchy). Requires a one-time install of pandoc and a LaTeX engine on the user's machine — basictex on macOS or texlive-xetex on Linux. Does not attempt automatic install. Fails loudly with the exact install commands if pandoc or xelatex is missing on the user's PATH. Use when producing a finished strategist or analyst report PDF from a polished markdown source.
- ▌ Opener Critique · lyndonklEvaluates the first 1-3 sentences of a substacker draft against the writer's signature opener patterns — confession / "I hadn't done X" / reframe / small concrete admission. Classifies opener as confession | reframe | admission | news-hook | generic-opener and flags news-hook/generic as tier-1. The opener sets the voice contract for the essay. Use on every draft. Trigger keywords — opener, hook, first sentence, opening, confession opener, news hook, generic opener.
- ▌ Propose Section · lyndonklConverts one candidate cluster from cluster-corpus-by-theme into a named, promised section proposal ready for writer review. Calls write-section-promise for the one-sentence promise. Rates fit confidence (high / medium / low / provisional) and flags borderline posts. Use once per cluster that passes ≥3-post threshold. Trigger keywords — propose section, section proposal, new section candidate.
- ▌ Recommend Prune · lyndonklRecommends structural cleanups for the substacker section map — sections to retire, sections to merge, posts to reassign. Applies under-filled, stale, and overlapping heuristics. Writes proposals with reasons-to-reject (steelman counter). Does not execute. Use once per Curator run, after drift audit. Trigger keywords — prune, retire section, merge sections, reassign post, cleanup.
- ▌ Wc Fitness Eval · lyndonklScores a FIFA World Cup Fantasy candidate squad/plan as risk-adjusted, rank-relative fitness under a stated rank objective (protect / gain / neutral). Sums fixture-scaled player xEV + captaincy uplift, adds clean-sheet correlation and progression-carry, applies an ownership-leverage term (cover chalk when protecting, fade it when gaining), and a variance term whose SIGN flips with the objective (penalty when protecting, reward when chasing) — the selection-pressure dial. Returns one fitness number plus the full decomposition. Use to score the population in the evolution engine, or to evaluate any single squad/plan. The objective makes the same candidate score differently for a leader vs a chaser; never returns raw expected points.
- ▌ Adr Architecture · lyndonkl bundleDocuments significant architectural and technical decisions with full context, alternatives considered, trade-offs analyzed, and consequences understood. Creates a decision trail that helps teams understand why decisions were made. Use when choosing between technology options, making infrastructure decisions, establishing standards, migrating systems, or when user mentions ADR, architecture decision, technical decision record, or decision documentation.
- ▌ Cognitive Design · lyndonkl bundleGrounds visual design decisions in cognitive psychology principles — perception, attention, memory, Gestalt grouping, and visual encoding hierarchy — explaining WHY certain designs work. Covers interfaces, data visualizations, educational content, and presentations. Invoke when user mentions cognitive load, visual hierarchy, working memory, preattentive processing, Gestalt principles, encoding hierarchy, or cognitive design pyramid. For design evaluation, use `design-evaluation-audit`. For fallacy prevention, use `cognitive-fallacies-guard`. For data storytelling, use `visual-storytelling-design`.
- ▌ Compute Baseline · lyndonklComputes substacker's rolling 4-week baseline for open rate, click rate, views-per-send, and weekly subscriber delta using corpus/stats/ archived CSVs. Produces per-metric z-scores of the current week against the baseline and flags cold-start windows where fewer than 4 prior weeks exist. Use after ingest-substack-csv each Monday. Trigger keywords — baseline, rolling median, z-score, cold start, per-metric comparison.
- ▌ D3 Visualization · lyndonkl bundleGuides creation of custom, interactive data visualizations with D3.js — bar/line/scatter charts, network diagrams, geographic maps, hierarchies, and real-time data updates with zoom/pan/brush interactions and animated transitions. Use when chart libraries (Highcharts, Chart.js) lack the customization needed and you require low-level control over data-driven DOM manipulation, scales, shapes, and layouts. Invoke when user mentions D3, d3.js, custom visualization, force-directed graph, or data-driven SVG.
- ▌ Estimation Fermi · lyndonkl bundleDecomposes complex unknowns into estimable components to produce rapid order-of-magnitude answers with bounded uncertainty. Use when making quick estimates (market sizing, resource planning, feasibility checks), bounding unknowns with upper/lower limits, sanity-checking strategic assumptions, or when user mentions Fermi estimation, back-of-envelope calculation, order of magnitude, ballpark estimate, or triangulation.
- ▌ Normalize Format · lyndonklNormalizes a single inbox file of any supported format (plain markdown, Claude.ai JSON export, Claude Code JSONL session, Readwise markdown/CSV highlight, transcript with timestamps or speaker labels, link capture) into a clean markdown body plus partial frontmatter (id, title, source block, word_count). Handles format-specific failure modes — JSON content-block arrays, timestamp stripping, per-highlight chunking, URL-vs-commentary separation. Use when ingesting any inbox item for the substacker Librarian. Trigger keywords — normalize, convert, parse, transcript, export, JSON, JSONL, highlight, CSV.
- ▌ Rank By User Fit · lyndonklScores and ranks substacker Trend Scout annotated candidates against voice-profile and goals, producing a top-10 keep list and an explicit drop list with reasons. Weighted-sum scoring across intuition-density fit, goal alignment, dedup penalty, source reliability, freshness. Produces the digest's keeps and drops sections. Use after cross-ref-topic-ledger. Trigger keywords — rank, fit score, user fit, keep list, drop list, signal weight.
- ▌ Roadmap Backcast · lyndonkl bundlePlans backward from a fixed goal or deadline to the present, identifying required milestones, dependencies, critical path, and feasibility constraints to transform aspirational targets into actionable sequenced plans. Use when planning with fixed deadlines, working backward from future goals, mapping critical path, or when user mentions "backcast", "work backward from", "reverse planning", "we need to launch by", "target date is", or "what needs to happen to reach".
- ▌ Strategist Voice · lyndonkl bundleProvides the house style for analyst-grade strategist writing — third-person register with sparing first-person, no em dashes, no "not X, not Y, not Z" negation cascades, numbered footnote citations rather than inline source parentheticals, specific opinion-signaling phrases, and topic-forward paragraph structure modeled on voice patterns observed in Damodaran's Musings on Markets and Thompson's Stratechery. Use when consolidating working notes into a finished long-form strategist or analyst report that must read as written by a senior human analyst rather than an AI assistant.
- ▌ Summarize Signal · lyndonklGiven a candidate item from the substacker Trend Scout fetch, WebFetches the full post or arXiv abstract and produces a one-line "teaches X" summary plus signal_type classification (mechanism / empirical / tool / opinion / announcement / benchmark). Distinguishes teaching-content from capability-announcement explicitly. Use during the weekly run, after fetching and before ranking. Trigger keywords — summarize, signal type, mechanism vs announcement, teaching content.
- ▌ Update Watchlist · lyndonklProposes adds and removes to the Trend Scout watchlist based on consecutive-failure sources, repeated-reference external authors, and user-added feedback markers. Emits a proposed diff at ops/trend-scout/watchlist-proposed-diff.md for user review. On explicit approval, applies the diff. Monthly cadence. Trigger keywords — watchlist update, add source, remove source, watchlist review, monthly review, source pruning.
- ▌ Writing Revision · lyndonkl bundleApplies a systematic three-pass revision system (Zinsser, King, Pinker, Clark) to existing drafts — Pass 1 cuts clutter, Pass 2 reduces cognitive load, Pass 3 improves rhythm. Use when revising, editing, or polishing drafts, cutting word count, tightening prose, improving readability, or fixing flow, or when user mentions revision, editing, cut clutter, too wordy, improve readability, fix the flow, reduce word count.
- ▌ X Thread Rewrite · lyndonklRewrites a published substacker essay as three X thread variants (short 3-5 tweets, medium 6-8, long 9-12). Each tweet ≤280 chars. Hook tweet works standalone. No numbering by default (2026 convention for tech-first-principles accounts). Final tweet is the link. If essay doesn't translate to X, emits a VERDICT line and halts rather than producing weak variants. Trigger keywords — X thread, Twitter thread, thread, tweet, threaded post, thread variants.
- ▌ Hsa Receipt Vault · lyndonklMaintains a ledger of HSA-qualified medical expenses paid out of pocket (not reimbursed from the HSA), each with date, amount, provider, description, and a path to the scanned receipt. Tracks the running unreimbursed total — the amount of HSA balance the household can pull tax-free at any future date — and validates each candidate against IRS-qualified-expense categories. Use when a new medical receipt arrives, when totaling future tax-free HSA reimbursements, when planning a deferred reimbursement, or when user mentions HSA receipt vault, qualified medical expenses, or HSA shoebox strategy.
- ▌ Ingest Inbox Item · lyndonklIngests a single file from the substacker inbox/ into corpus/seeds/ as a normalized markdown seed with full frontmatter. Orchestrates format normalization, topic tagging, intuition-density scoring, dedupe, changelog, ledger update, and inbox-file move to .processed/. Use when the user drops raw material into inbox/ and runs /ingest, at session start, or whenever a single inbox file needs to become an indexed seed. Trigger keywords — ingest, inbox, new note, new transcript, new highlight, index this, add to corpus.
- ▌ Layered Reasoning · lyndonkl bundleStructures thinking across multiple abstraction levels (30,000 ft strategic, 3,000 ft tactical, 300 ft operational) while maintaining consistency between layers. Guides through top-down decomposition, bottom-up aggregation, cross-layer translation, and constraint propagation. Use when reasoning across multiple abstraction levels, designing systems with hierarchical layers, explaining concepts at different depths, maintaining consistency between principles and implementation, or when users mention 30,000-foot view, layered thinking, abstraction levels, top-down design, or strategy-to-execution alignment.
- ▌ Quarterly Zoomout · lyndonklSynthesizes 13 weeks of substacker Growth Analyst reports + the most recent Curator review + a meta-scan of the published corpus into a 400-700 word narrative that names the quarter's shape — what happened, what changed, what held steady, what surprised. Used by the Growth Strategist at the opening of every review. Trigger keywords — quarterly, zoomout, quarter narrative, rollup, what happened this quarter.
- ▌ Readability Check · lyndonkl bundleScores prose with Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch-Kincaid Grade, SMOG, Gunning Fog, and Dale-Chall, reports every score on one shared grade-band scale, and rewrites the sentences that fail. Runs on markdown files or on piped draft text before it is sent, and can run automatically through Claude Code hooks. Use before delivering any substantial written output, when a draft reads as convoluted or bloated, when a document must hit a reading-level target, or when checking a folder of documents for prose quality. Trigger keywords — readability, reading level, Flesch, Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG, Gunning Fog, Dale-Chall, grade level, hard to read, convoluted, dense prose, plain language, reading ease.
- ▌ Structural Review · lyndonklPerforms pass-1 structural review of a substacker essay draft — argument flow, out-of-order moves, buried topic sentences, missing pivots, weak signposting, paragraph-logic issues. Emits the "Argument flow" and "Structural blockers" sections of the Editor artifact. Use when reviewing a draft's macro-structure before addressing voice, when a draft feels like it meanders, or when the user asks whether the argument lands. Trigger keywords — structure, argument flow, outline, signposting, meandering, pivot, macro edit, substantive edit.
- ▌ Sweep Stale Seeds · lyndonklIdentifies substacker seeds older than 30 days with status=seed and no incoming related_seeds links, flags them for writer review, and recommends keep / promote-to-draft / kill based on density score. Does NOT auto-execute any action. Emits a review list to ops/librarian/YYYY-MM-DD-stale-sweep.md. Run at session start after ingest, once per day max. Trigger keywords — stale, sweep, review, old seeds, cleanup, gardener, corpus hygiene.
- ▌ Wc Captain Ladder · lyndonklComputes the optimal rolling-captaincy LADDER across a matchday's staggered kickoff sequence — the ordered captain candidates, the explicit bank-or-switch rules at each kickoff, and the captaincy_uplift that wc-fitness-eval folds into raw_xEV. Because the armband doubles the round's points AND can be MOVED during the round to a player who has not yet kicked off, captaincy EV is the expected value of the best outcome reachable by switching across the sequence — not a naive 2x of the top xEV player. Call from wc-matchday-tactician (to write MB2 of the matchday plan), from the strategists (to value a candidate's captaincy when building a matchday plan), and from wc-fitness-eval (which consumes captaincy_uplift). Returns the ladder, the switch thresholds, and the uplift against a stated baseline; the ladder is moot under the Maximum Captain chip (value = max of candidates).
- ▌ Wc Decision Board · lyndonklRenders the FIFA World Cup Fantasy decision board — the advisory output that surfaces 2-4 genuinely distinct, weighted options for the expert manager and ends on "your call." Takes the evolution engine's verified offspring (with fitness decomposition, genotype lineage, and specialist dissent) and formats each as an option with its concrete picks, EV/ownership-leverage/variance/progression decomposition, football reasoning, what it's betting on, the dissent, and an ownership read — then a trade-off axis, a recommended-but-overridable default tied to the rank objective, and a "what I need from you." Enforces options-not-commands, shows the working, surfaces dissent, never auto-commits. Use to present any squad/matchday/transfer/chip decision.
- ▌ Wc Ownership Meta · lyndonklModels the FIFA World Cup Fantasy field — effective ownership, the template set, the differential list, and the rank-protect-vs-gain leverage math — so the system reasons about "what will most managers do?" rather than raw points. Computes effective ownership EO = field_ownership% x (1 + captaincy_share), classifies every owned/missed player into the three regimes (own high-EO haul = hold station, MISS high-EO haul = drop hard, own low-EO haul = leap the field), builds the template set and differential list, flags where the field is over-concentrated (fade ops) and under-reacting (get-there-first), and returns the ownership_leverage contribution under the rank objective θ that wc-fitness-eval folds into fitness. Also computes mini-league rival-relative leverage. Emits an `ownership` signal. Use when called by wc-ownership-analyst, by the strategists weighting picks by leverage, and by wc-fitness-eval scoring the rank term.
- ▌ Wc Signal Emitter · lyndonklValidates and persists FIFA World Cup Fantasy signal files to signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>.md. Checks the required frontmatter (type, round, date, emitted_by, confidence, source_urls), range-checks declared numeric signals, confirms every factual claim carries a source URL or "manager-provided", rejects unknown signal types, and refuses to persist a signal that fails validation (logging the failure instead). Keeps the inter-agent signal layer auditable so downstream agents can trust what they read and never re-derive it. Use whenever an agent or skill writes a signal.
- ▌ Cross Poster Blurb · lyndonklWrites a 60-140 word third-person blurb for the Substack cross-post feature, positioned so another newsletter writer can paste it into their cross-post popup without editing. Third-person throughout ("In this piece, Kushal argues…"). No subscriber CTAs. Use as the cross-post arm of the Distribution Translator. Trigger keywords — cross-post, cross-poster, blurb, Substack cross-post, third person, positioning.
- ▌ Evaluation Rubrics · lyndonkl bundleDesigns structured scoring tools with explicit criteria, performance scales, and descriptors for consistent, transparent quality assessment. Use when need quality criteria and scoring scales to evaluate work consistently, compare alternatives objectively, set acceptance thresholds, reduce subjective bias, or when user mentions rubric, scoring criteria, quality standards, evaluation framework, inter-rater reliability, or grading/assessing work.
- ▌ Fetch Arxiv Recent · lyndonklFetches arXiv papers submitted within a given date window matching a keyword set, with optional restriction to one or more arXiv categories (e.g. cs.LG, cs.CL, cs.CV, stat.ML, math.ST, q-bio.QM). Wraps the public `export.arxiv.org/api/query` endpoint, parses Atom XML, handles pagination, and normalizes records to the same canonical shape as `fetch-preprint-recent` and `fetch-pubmed-recent` so a calling agent can dedupe across sources. Domain-neutral — usable for any literature scan that crosses CS, ML, statistics, math, physics, or quantitative biology. Use when user mentions arXiv, cs.LG, ML papers, NeurIPS-adjacent preprints, weekly arXiv scan, or when a literature-scan agent needs arXiv records alongside bioRxiv / medRxiv / PubMed.
- ▌ Forecast Premortem · lyndonkl bundleStress-tests predictions by assuming failure and working backward to identify blind spots, tail risks, and overconfidence. Applies Gary Klein's premortem technique to probabilistic forecasting. Use when confidence is high (>80% or <20%), need to identify tail risks and unknown unknowns, want to widen overconfident intervals, or when user mentions premortem, backcasting, what could go wrong, stress test, or black swans.
- ▌ Identify Kill List · lyndonklNames what the substacker writer should stop doing — habits with no evidence of use, goals that became theatre, sections with 2 consecutive dormant quarters, and agents in the team whose output the writer ignores. Produces a bulleted list, each item with one sentence of why. Max 4 items. Ordered by ease (easiest first). Used once per Growth Strategist review. Trigger keywords — kill list, stop doing, what to cut, dead habits, dormant, ignored output.
- ▌ Mastery Assessment · lyndonklA closed-book-first probing protocol that assesses how well the learner actually holds a module's claims — asking before telling, probing the gap, detecting misconceptions, then confirming. Tags each probe with a Bloom level, places the learner in a Dreyfus mastery band (unfamiliar/aware/functional/proficient/fluent), scores the session, and schedules the next spaced-repetition surfacing on expanding intervals (1d, 3d, 7d, 16d, 35d) — pulling the next date earlier on a miss. Writes an assessment-session note to assessments/log/ and proposes a review-due update on each evergreen note touched. Use when checking mastery of a module, running a spaced-repetition review, or gating phase progression. Trigger keywords — assess mastery, review-due, spaced repetition, Bloom check, mastery band, am I ready to move on.
- ▌ Mlb Closer Tracker · lyndonkl bundleTracks the closer role and bullpen pecking order across all 30 MLB teams — who owns the ninth-inning job today, who is next in line if the current closer falters (the handcuff), and who carries DFA or demotion risk. Emits a per-reliever `save_role_certainty` signal (0-100) and flags speculation-worthy handcuffs for waiver bids. Use when the user mentions "closer", "save role", "handcuff", "ninth inning", "bullpen depth", lost save, blown save, committee, or when the waiver analyst needs to decide whether to spend FAAB on a backup reliever. This league uses SV as one of its five pitcher categories, but SV is also the most volatile and most punt-worthy cat, so tracking should always be paired with a punt-the-cat fallback recommendation.
- ▌ Mlb Signal Emitter · lyndonkl bundleValidates and persists signal files to the yahoo-mlb signals directory. Every MLB skill calls this skill before writing a signal. Enforces the signal-framework.md schema -- required YAML frontmatter fields (type, date, emitted_by, confidence, source_urls), range-checks numeric signals (0-100 unipolar, -100 to +100 bipolar), verifies variant_synthesis metadata, and enforces file naming. On validation failure, does not persist and routes a failure entry to mlb-decision-logger. Use when an agent or skill needs to emit a signal, validate a signal file, write to signals/YYYY-MM-DD-<type>.md, or check signal frontmatter. Triggers — "emit signal", "validate signal", "write signal file", "signal frontmatter".
- ▌ Reader First Prose · lyndonklRewrites expository prose for a reader meeting the subject for the first time, not an insider who already shares the writer's knowledge. Enforces introduce-before-use (every entity, term and acronym defined on first mention, in an order a newcomer can follow), grounds or cuts every metaphor in the same breath it appears, converts compressed or nominalized logic into a plain if-then, and kills the two loudest machine tells, the em dash and the terse two-beat antithesis ("X. Not Y."). Carries an honesty pass so the prose never out-claims its evidence, marking inference as inference and preserving every number exactly. Use when a draft assumes knowledge the reader lacks, reads as insider or "clever", name-drops terms before defining them, leans on unexplained metaphor, or sounds AI-written; or when the user mentions first-time reader, plain language, define before use, sounds like AI, em dash, too clever, or jargon. Complements ladder-of-abstraction, slop-detector and narrative-fidelity-audit.
- ▌ Research Claim Map · lyndonkl bundleSystematically evaluates claims by triangulating sources, rating evidence quality (primary/secondary/tertiary), assessing source credibility, and reaching confidence-rated conclusions to prevent confirmation bias and reliance on unreliable sources. Use when verifying claims before decisions, fact-checking statements, conducting due diligence, evaluating conflicting evidence, or when user mentions "fact-check", "verify this", "is this true", "evaluate sources", "conflicting evidence", or "due diligence".
- ▌ Skill Construction · lyndonklMethodology for building a properly structured Claude Code skill (SKILL.md + optional resources + evaluation rubric) from extracted components. Assesses complexity (Level 1 simple - SKILL.md only; Level 2 moderate - SKILL.md plus 1-3 resources; Level 3 complex - SKILL.md plus 4-8 resources), plans the resource grouping, drafts SKILL.md following Anthropic's authoring best practices (concise frontmatter with what + when triggers, body under 500 lines, progressive disclosure to resource files one level deep, workflow checklists), and constructs an evaluation rubric. Use when extracted components and a synthesis verdict are in hand and the next step is to materialize them as a skill. Trigger keywords - construct skill, build SKILL.md, skill construction, skill scaffolding, generate skill files.
- ▌ Term Interrogation · lyndonklWalks a finished document line by line, finds every word and phrase standing in for a concept, and breaks each one down until a reader with no background can follow it. Targets the assumed-knowledge phrase, the kind that sounds ordinary while hiding everything that matters ("moat", "flywheel", "product-market fit", "at scale"), not merely the rare word. Explains each term where it is used, then re-reads its own explanation and unpacks any new term that explanation introduced, repeating until every word bottoms out in ordinary language. Produces a term ledger recording what was flagged, how it was handled, where each explanation came from, and how many passes it took. Use after drafting any report, explainer or analysis for a non-expert audience, or when asked to explain something from first principles, assume the reader knows nothing, cross-question the jargon, define every term, or make a document readable by a beginner.
- ▌ Update Section Map · lyndonklWrites the canonical substacker shared-context/section-map.md after writer confirmation of review-artifact proposals. Atomic write with backup snapshot. Validates schema before writing. Use as the final step of a Curator run, only after writer has accepted/modified proposals. Trigger keywords — update section map, write section map, commit sections, apply changes.
- ▌ Valuation Red Team · lyndonkl bundleAttacks a finished valuation the way a skeptical reviewer would — hunts bias and verdict-first reasoning, checks that each risk is charged exactly once, tests whether growth is paid for, interrogates terminal value, reverse-engineers what the market price already assumes, and applies the seven deadly sins of acquisition analysis. Use when reviewing a completed valuation, red-teaming or challenging assumptions before acting on a number, auditing a DCF someone else built, or checking double counting, control premiums, synergy claims, comparable sets and route constraints.
- ▌ Wc Decision Logger · lyndonklAppends FIFA World Cup Fantasy decisions to tracker/decisions-log.md — logging not just what the manager chose but the full OPTION SET they chose from, which option the board recommended, whether the manager overrode it, and the manager's stated reasoning. Also archives the full generation (population → offspring → board → pick) to generations/, and updates the archetype scoreboard (which genotypes' blocks were chosen/won) and the manager's revealed preferences. Append-only; never overwrites. The override rows are the system's most valuable learning signal. Use after the manager picks an option off a board.
- ▌ Wc Matchday Timing · lyndonklBuilds the structural support for the in-round levers in FIFA World Cup Fantasy — scores how the squad's players are distributed across the round's match days (a good build spreads them, NOT stacked on one day), orders the 4 bench players by kickoff time (latest highest, so they stay promotable after early results land), and generates conditional manual-substitution triggers ("if early starter scores ≤ T and a later bench player hasn't kicked off, promote them"). Implements BB6 (matchday spread) and MB3/MB4 (bench order + sub triggers), and the manual-substitution rule in league-config.md. Returns a kickoff_spread assessment with over-stack flags, a ranked bench_order (1–4), and a sub_triggers list. Use when laying out a matchday plan or vetting a candidate squad's timing layout — called by wc-matchday-tactician and the strategists, especially A6 Matchday Mechanic.
- ▌ Writing Stickiness · lyndonkl bundleApplies the Heath brothers' SUCCESs model (Simple, Unexpected, Concrete, Credible, Emotional, Stories) to make messages memorable and persuasive, with systematic analysis, targeted improvements, and scoring (0-18 stickiness scorecard). Use when making messages more memorable or compelling, preparing presentations, crafting pitches or campaigns, or when user mentions stickiness, making ideas stick, persuasion, SUCCESs framework, or Heath brothers.
- ▌ Citation Form Check · lyndonklVerifies every paper or named research result cited in a substacker draft uses the inline "Author(s), Institution, Year" form per style-guide, not a bare hyperlink or title-alone reference. Flags bare-hyperlink citations and missing-institution attributions. Use whenever the draft references external research. Trigger keywords — citation, paper citation, bare hyperlink, authors, institution, reference format.
- ▌ Fetch Pubmed Recent · lyndonklFetches PubMed articles posted in a given date window matching a keyword set, returning normalized records (PMID, title, authors, abstract, journal, date, DOI, URL). Uses NCBI E-utilities (`esearch` + `esummary` + `efetch`) via WebFetch for portability, but prefers a PubMed MCP server's `search_articles` + `get_article_metadata` tools when one is connected (faster, paginated, parsed). Builds date-bounded queries with optional MeSH expansion. Domain-neutral - usable for any PubMed scan, not just one project. Use when user mentions PubMed, NCBI, last-N-days PubMed, weekly PubMed scan, MeSH search, or when a literature-scan agent needs structured PubMed records.
- ▌ Flag Boundary Break · lyndonklFor each simplified-boundary claim, drafts a one-paragraph suggestion for how to acknowledge the boundary inside the post — usually a single sentence or "but" clause — so the break becomes a teaching moment rather than hidden fragility. Runs for exactly the claims classified as simplified-boundary. Skip for all other classifications. Use after cross-reference-claim. Trigger keywords — boundary break, fold break into post, feature not flaw, simplified-boundary.
- ▌ Goal Reset Proposal · lyndonklDrafts a proposed diff to substacker shared-context/goals.md showing which lines to add, remove, or change based on the quarter's review. Never writes to goals.md directly — writer applies manually. Used once per Growth Strategist review. Trigger keywords — goal reset, goals diff, update goals, goals proposal, rework goals.
- ▌ Graphrag Evaluation · lyndonkl bundleEvaluates GraphRAG systems across knowledge graph completeness, retrieval relevance, answer correctness, reasoning depth, and hallucination prevention. Provides structured evaluation frameworks, metric selection guidance, and testing protocols. Use when evaluating GraphRAG quality, benchmarking multi-step reasoning, measuring hallucination reduction, or when user mentions evaluate GraphRAG, quality metrics, answer correctness, test my GraphRAG, or measure RAG performance.
- ▌ Ingest Substack CSV · lyndonklLoads and validates a weekly Substack CSV stats export for the substacker Growth Analyst. Reconciles header against expected-columns schema, parses post rows + subscriber aggregates, moves file into corpus/stats/ on success, emits schema-warning stub on header drift. Never reads subscriber emails row-by-row — aggregates only. FALLBACK path when fetch-substack-stats (Chrome automation) is unavailable. Use when a CSV appears in inbox/substack-stats/, when Chrome is not logged in, or when the writer prefers manual export. Trigger keywords — CSV, Substack export, stats export, schema validation, subscriber data, manual export, CSV fallback.
- ▌ Mlb Decision Logger · lyndonkl bundleAppends structured decision entries to the yahoo-mlb decision log (tracker/decisions-log.md) on behalf of any agent in the MLB team. Validates entries against the authoritative schema, serializes concurrent writes from parallel agents, and runs the Monday calibration pass to fill in outcomes and update the variant scoreboard. Use when any MLB agent needs to record a decision, when the coach requests "log decision", "append to decision log", "record variant outcome", or runs the "calibration pass".
- ▌ Mlb Player Analyzer · lyndonkl bundleDeep-dive analysis of a single MLB player (hitter or pitcher) for the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball 2K25 league. Web-searches FanGraphs (ATC projections), Baseball Savant (xwOBA/xBA/xERA), MLB.com (lineups, probables), RotoWire (weather, injuries), and RotoBaller (closer depth) to produce the full set of structured player signals defined in the signal framework. Emits form_score, matchup_score, opportunity_score, daily_quality, regression_index, obp_contribution, sb_opportunity, role_certainty for hitters and qs_probability, k_ceiling, era_whip_risk, streamability_score, two_start_bonus, save_role_certainty for pitchers. Use when you need to analyze player, compute daily_quality, compute regression index, produce player signals, run a hitter analysis, run a pitcher analysis, or prep start/sit inputs for the lineup optimizer.
- ▌ Mlb Trade Evaluator · lyndonkl bundleComputes the full impact of a proposed MLB fantasy trade across all 10 H2H categories (R/HR/RBI/SB/OBP, K/ERA/WHIP/QS/SV), rest-of-season dollar value, positional flexibility, slot-value optionality, adverse-selection prior, and weeks 21-23 playoff impact. Produces a signed verdict (accept / counter / reject) with rationale and a specific counter if applicable. Use when user mentions "trade evaluation", "trade value", "should I accept", "trade delta", "counter offer", or pastes in a trade proposal from Yahoo. Defaults to COUNTER in the middle band — pure REJECT is reserved for clearly predatory offers.
- ▌ Mlb Two Start Scout · lyndonkl bundleFor a given fantasy week (Monday-Sunday), identifies every starting pitcher scheduled to start twice, validates both probable starts, grades each matchup against the league's Quality Starts (QS) scoring rules, and ranks the list by streamability_score. Flags bullpen-game and opener risks that nearly never produce QS. Use when user mentions "two-start pitchers", "weekly streaming", "Monday-Sunday pitcher plan", "double start", "2-start SP", or preparing the weekly streaming plan on Sunday nights.
- ▌ Product Hiding Scan · lyndonklScans the substacker published corpus for clusters of posts that could become a product — a course, a book, a cohort, or a consulting offer. Produces at most 2 candidates with evidence + audience signal, or an honest "not yet" verdict if nothing qualifies. Typically fires once the writer has 30+ posts. Trigger keywords — product hiding, course from essays, book from essays, corpus to product, product scan.
- ▌ Section Break Check · lyndonklVerifies the section-break style in a substacker draft matches the post register — asterisks (* * *) for essayistic posts under 2500 words, H2 for methodology / how-to / technical posts. Flags mixed registers (H2 in a reflective essay, asterisks in a structured how-to). Per the style-guide rhythm rule. Use every draft. Trigger keywords — section break, asterisk, H2, headers, register, essayistic vs methodology.
- ▌ Stress Test Analogy · lyndonklStress-tests a proposed analogy by finding the edge where the mapping breaks, then frames that break as a teaching opportunity the writer can fold into the post. Every analogy has a boundary; the writer's style treats that boundary as a feature. Use after generate-analogy-set and map-analogy-to-concept, for each framing. Trigger keywords — where does it break, stress-test, boundary, edge case, fold the break, analogy limits.
- ▌ Structural Analysis · lyndonklDomain-neutral methodology for the second level of Adler-style reading - understanding what a document is about *as a whole* and how its parts relate. Classifies content (practical vs theoretical; sequential / categorical / structured / hybrid), states unity in one sentence, enumerates major parts and their organization, and defines the problems the document tries to solve. Reusable across any extraction workflow - skill creation from a methodology document, Pass-2 content grasp on an academic paper, structural review of a long-form document. Use when an agent has done inspectional reading and now needs to map structure before deeper component extraction. Trigger keywords - structural analysis, document structure, state unity, enumerate parts, Adler Level 2, content classification, define problems.
- ▌ Update Topic Ledger · lyndonklMaintains substacker shared-context/topic-ledger.md as an append-and-update index of all topics in the corpus. Each topic row tracks seed/draft/published counts, last-touched date, top-3 seed ids by density, and a hot/warm/cold temperature indicator. Use after any seed is created, promoted to draft, published, or killed. Trigger keywords — ledger, topic index, update index, topic ledger, hot/cold topics.
- ▌ Valuation Reporting · lyndonkl bundleAssembles a finished company analysis into the deliverable a decision-maker reads — the executive summary, the value bridge, the assumptions that matter, the sensitivity range, and the recommendation with its catalysts and risks. Use when writing up a valuation, DCF, acquisition, IPO, restructuring or corporate finance analysis, when drafting REPORT.md or the verdict, or when deciding what belongs in the report.
- ▌ Voice Fitness Check · lyndonklRanks a proposed set of framings against the writer's voice profile, especially the analogy-direction priority — biology > organizational > sports, with physics/military as voice violations. Produces a tier rating per framing and flags any framing that would break voice. Use in the Intuition Builder pipeline after generating framings, to order them by fit with the writer's register. Trigger keywords — voice fit, analogy direction, biology to AI, organizational to multi-agent, sports to calibration.
- ▌ Wc Tournament State · lyndonklReads and updates the FIFA World Cup Fantasy tournament state machine (footballfantasy/context/tournament-state.md) — the temporal backbone tracking phase (pre-tournament → group MD1-3 → R32 → R16 → QF → SF → final), budget ($100m group / $105m knockouts), nation cap (3 group, loosening in knockouts), chips remaining, surviving nations, each owned player's elimination-risk horizon, and deadlines. Validates state on load (count/feasibility checks), applies phase transitions, and appends to the append-only state log (never silent overwrite). Use to load state at the start of a run and to commit state changes after the manager makes a move.
- ▌ Wc Transfer Planner · lyndonklPlans between-round FIFA World Cup Fantasy transfers — budgets the round's free transfer(s), forces out players whose nation has been eliminated, chases fixture-swing drops, upgrades on value, and decides when a rebuild is large enough to fire the Wildcard instead of spending free transfers one at a time. Ranks candidate in/out pairs by EV gain over each player's remaining survival horizon (delta xEV weighted by progression_carry) MINUS transfer cost (a free transfer is cheap, a points hit is real, churning the squad for marginal swings is a critic flag), and tags forced/fixture/upgrade priority. Emits a `transfer-plan` signal. Use when called by wc-squad-architect (whose transfer work this skill is the engine for) and by the strategists in the populate stage when their candidate is transfer-adjacent rather than a full rebuild.
- ▌ Write Weekly Digest · lyndonklRenders the Trend Scout ranked keep-and-drop lists into ops/trend-scout/YYYY-WW-digest.md using the agent voice profile and including an appendix of all sources surveyed. Use once per weekly run as the terminal skill. Trigger keywords — weekly digest, write digest, Trend Scout digest, Saturday morning digest.
- ▌ Write Weekly Report · lyndonklComposes the substacker final ops/growth-analyst/YYYY-WW-report.md from ingest + baseline + attribute + per-section + public-page outputs. Enforces 400-800 word budget, YAML frontmatter schema, seven-section body structure. Truncates weakest sections first when over budget. Injects data-caveats from any degraded-mode flags upstream. Use as the final compose step of the weekly pipeline. Trigger keywords — weekly report, compose report, growth report, Monday report.
- ▌ Analogy Weight Check · lyndonklFor every analogy in a substacker draft, verifies it carries mechanical weight — the analogy does real work explaining the mechanism, not merely decorates it. Cross-references analogy-catalog.md for novelty (is this analogy reused from a prior post?) and domain fit (biology > organizational > sports preferred; physics/military disfavored). Use whenever an analogy appears in the draft. Trigger keywords — analogy weight, decorative, mechanical weight, reused analogy, catalog check, metaphor check.
- ▌ Cash Flow Forecaster · lyndonklProjects 30-90 days of daily cash flow per cash account by combining current balance, scheduled recurring inflows and outflows from recurring.json, and a 6-month rolling average of discretionary spend, then flags days where projected balance falls below a configurable safety floor. Use for forward planning, detecting upcoming overdrafts, sizing pre-funding for sinking funds, or when user mentions cash flow projection, runway, balance forecast, or upcoming bills coverage.
- ▌ Component Extraction · lyndonklDomain-neutral methodology for the third level of Adler-style reading - extracting structured components (terms, propositions, arguments, solutions) from a document section by section. Selects a reading strategy appropriate to document size and structure (section-based for documents under 50 pages with clear sections; windowing for long documents without breaks; targeted for hybrid content where only specific sections matter). Writes per-section extraction notes that downstream synthesis can consume. Reusable across any extraction workflow - skill creation from a methodology document, Pass-2 content grasp on a paper's full text, evidence-mining from a long-form report. Use when an agent has done structural analysis and now needs to extract the actual atomic content. Trigger keywords - component extraction, section-by-section extraction, extract terms, extract propositions, extract arguments, Adler Level 3, interpretive reading.
- ▌ Dcf Valuation Engine · lyndonkl bundleRuns an intrinsic (discounted cash flow) valuation from value drivers — builds the year-by-year forecast with fading growth, margins and reinvestment, closes it with a terminal value, adjusts for failure risk, walks the bridge from operating assets to equity value per share, and runs sensitivity grids. Also reverse-engineers the market price into the growth or margin it already assumes. Use when valuing a company intrinsically, building a DCF or FCFF/FCFE model, computing terminal value or value per share, running valuation sensitivity, or asking what the market is pricing in.
- ▌ Ethics Safety Impact · lyndonkl bundleGuides structured identification of potential harms, benefits, and differential impacts across stakeholder groups for decisions affecting people. Covers stakeholder mapping, fairness evaluation, risk mitigation design, and monitoring. Use when decisions could affect groups differently, need to anticipate harms/benefits, assess fairness and safety, identify vulnerable populations, or when user mentions ethical review, impact assessment, differential harm, safety analysis, bias audit, or responsible AI/tech.
- ▌ Extract Thread Spine · lyndonklExtracts the 5-7 point argument backbone of a published substacker essay into a structured _spine.json working artifact that downstream platform-rewrite skills consume. Pulls verbatim sentences where possible (not paraphrases). Tags each point with evidence anchor (paper, anecdote, formula, analogy), essay section, and translatability score. Use at the start of a Distribution Translator run. Trigger keywords — spine, backbone, extract claims, thread spine, argument skeleton.
- ▌ Fetch Substack Stats · lyndonklPulls substacker's weekly Substack stats directly from the dashboard via Claude-in-Chrome browser automation. Navigates to substack.com/stats, parses the posts table and subscribers table, and produces the same typed WeekExport object that ingest-substack-csv produces — but without requiring a manual CSV export. The writer keeps Chrome signed in to Substack; this skill opens the dashboard in a new tab, reads the rendered stats, closes the tab. Primary data path for the Growth Analyst; ingest-substack-csv is the fallback when browser automation is unavailable. Trigger keywords — fetch stats, Substack dashboard, auto stats, Chrome stats, dashboard scrape, live stats, no CSV.
- ▌ Generate Analogy Set · lyndonklGenerates exactly 5 distinct intuitive framings for a given technical topic — one everyday analogy, one physical metaphor, one contrarian take, one historical angle, one counterfactual. Each framing is a short scaffold (not prose), paired with its archetype and a one-line framing statement. Use when the writer invokes the Intuition Builder agent, as the core generation step before mapping, stress-testing, novelty checking, and voice fitness. Trigger keywords — generate framings, analogies for, give me 5, intuitive angles, framing set.
