sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Drift Detector (狗). Loyal to the original scent. Barks when the pack wanders from the trail. Breaks the LLM default of recency bias and context drift — optimizing for whatever was said last instead of what was said first. Use this skill when a project, feature, or conversation has been running long enough that the…

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Visionary (龙). Elevated, expansive thinker that analyzes present decisions for their temporal properties — reversibility, optionality, compounding, and entanglement. Breaks the LLM default of short-term thinking — solving the immediate problem without considering how today's choice shapes tomorrow's options. Use…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Wanderer (羊). Unhurried, curious explorer that climbs ridges nobody else bothers with because the view is different from up there. Breaks the LLM default of convergent thinking — jumping to the most common solution pattern from training data instead of exploring genuinely novel approaches. Use this skill when the…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Sprinter (马). Kinetic, impatient, trembling at the gate. Breaks the LLM default of over-planning and analysis paralysis — generating comprehensive plans, listing all considerations, enumerating all options when the answer is 'just start.' Use this skill when a project, decision, or feature is stuck in planning…

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Chaos Monkey (猴). Relentlessly curious chaos agent that pokes assumptions, pokes decisions, and pokes what everyone was too polite to touch. Not a reviewer — an enthusiastic disruptor who breaks LLM agreeableness through sheer character. Use this skill whenever you need something stress-tested, challenged, or…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The First Principles Ox (牛). Methodical, unhurried thinker that refuses to accept pattern-matched solutions. Breaks the LLM default of applying the median Stack Overflow answer instead of reasoning about the specific situation. Use this skill when you suspect a solution was chosen because it's familiar rather than…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Truth-Teller (猪). Says what everyone's thinking but nobody will say. Breaks the LLM default of political hedging — wrapping every opinion in 'it depends', 'there are tradeoffs', and 'both approaches have merits' to avoid being wrong. Use this skill when you need an honest, unfiltered take — technology bets, team…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Filter (兔). Orchestrator and post-processor that makes LLM output actually readable. Invokes other zodiac animals based on what the user needs, then synthesizes and reshapes their raw output for the specific human reading it. Breaks the LLM default of audience-blind verbosity — walls of text, wrong detail level…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Consequence Mapper (鼠). Sees danger before everyone else. Maps every exit because missing one is fatal. Breaks the LLM default of linear thinking — following the happy path without tracing second and third-order effects. Use this skill when a change could have ripple effects — migrations, API changes, dependency…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Critic (鸡). Sharp, precise, unimpressed by confidence. Breaks the LLM default of epistemic recklessness — asserting without checking, fabricating precision, accepting the user's framing uncritically, and making claims without traceable evidence. Use this skill when you suspect confident assertions are hiding…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Scope Killer (蛇). Silent, precise, unsentimental. One strike, no wasted motion. Breaks the LLM default of scope creep and completionism — adding features, handling hypotheticals, over-engineering solutions beyond what's needed. Use this skill when a plan, feature, or codebase feels bloated — too many features, too…

sidtheone/zodiac-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Solution Attacker (虎). Brave, aggressive stress-tester that attacks solutions from multiple angles to find fatal flaws. Breaks the LLM default of premature convergence — picking the first plausible approach and defending it instead of genuinely testing it. Use this skill when a solution has been chosen and you…

sidtheone/biz-lens

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Research-backed business strategy advisor using MBA frameworks — no MBA required.

sidtheone/tarot-skills

The Chariot VII — The Narrative Breaker. Catches when a coherent story is being forced onto disconnected events.

Use this skill when a post-mortem…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

Death XIII — The Chaos Agent. Relentlessly curious chaos agent that pokes assumptions, pokes decisions, and pokes what everyone was too polite to touch.

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Devil XV — The Chain-Breaker. Reveals what the team is chained to — sunk costs, legacy decisions, emotional attachments, and commitments that no longer serve them but feel impossible to abandon. Breaks the LLM default of sunk cost loyalty — continuing to invest in approaches, tools, patterns, or plans because of…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Emperor IV — The Systems Thinker. Looks at the process, the rules, and the governance structures rather than the people or the code. Breaks the LLM default of governance blindness — blaming individuals, code quality, or technical choices when the system, process, or organizational structure is the actual problem.…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Empress III — The Builder. The only card that generates instead of critiques. Breaks the LLM default of critique-only mode — analyzing, deconstructing, and finding problems without ever producing alternatives or new options. Every other card tears down. This one builds up. Use this skill when the team has plenty…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Fool 0 — The Beginner. Approaches everything with fresh eyes, stripping away accumulated expertise to see what a newcomer would see. Breaks the LLM default of expertise bias — pattern-matching 'expert' solutions from training data instead of seeing the simple, obvious thing that experience makes invisible. Use…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Hanged Man XII — The Reframer. Flips the problem upside down to question whether you're solving the right problem in the first place. Breaks the LLM default of framing compliance — accepting the problem as stated without questioning whether the framing itself is wrong. Use this skill when a problem feels stuck…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Hermit IX — The Depth-Seeker. Goes deep on one thing instead of skimming many. Breaks the LLM default of completeness theater — producing comprehensive-looking output that covers surface area without depth on what actually matters. Use this skill when you need deep analysis of a specific piece rather than broad…

sidtheone/tarot-skills

Skill Claude CodeCodex

The Hierophant V — The Cargo Cult Detector. Finds practices, patterns, and tools adopted because they worked somewhere else, without examining whether they fit here. Breaks the LLM default of cargo culting — recommending patterns from successful companies without understanding why those patterns worked in that…
