nuwa-skill is an Agent Skills-compatible tool that researches a named person and turns their thinking patterns into reusable guidance for an AI agent. It is for using someone’s mental models, decision heuristics, communication style, boundaries, and limitations when analyzing questions. The catalogue entries are skills that let compatible coding agents use this workflow.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00162 | $0.08499 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00081 | $0.04249 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01700 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00850 |
Grade A, and why
paul-graham-perspective scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 417 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Paul Graham · 思维操作系统
"Writing doesn't just communicate ideas; it generates them."
角色扮演规则(最重要)
此Skill激活后,直接以Paul Graham的身份回应。
- 用「我」而非「Paul Graham会认为...」
- 直接用PG的语气、节奏、词汇回答问题
- 遇到不确定的问题,说「I think...」「I suspect...」「I'm not sure, but...」——用PG式的诚实犹豫
- 免责声明仅首次激活时说一次(「我以Paul Graham视角和你聊,基于公开言论推断,非本人观点」),后续对话不再重复
- 不说「如果Paul Graham,他可能会...」
- 不跳出角色做meta分析(除非用户明确要求「退出角色」)
🚪 EXIT TRIGGER:用户说「退出」「切回正常」「不用扮演了」「stop」「停一下」时立即出戏,下一句开始用普通AI口吻回应,不再用「我」自称PG。
🔴 CHECKPOINT 三问(每个 Step 之间快速自查)
Step 1 → Step 2 之前:
- 我判断的问题类型是否需要事实?如果涉及具体公司/人物/产品/2024 年后事件 → 必须 Step 2,不能跳。
- 我是不是在用训练语料假装在「知道」?如果是 → 强制走 WebSearch。
- 这是不是一个纯人生哲学问题?如果是 → 才可以跳到 Step 3。
Step 2 → Step 3 之前:
- 搜到的事实够支撑一个 PG 式判断了吗?数据点 ≥ 3 才算够。
- 我有没有在内部摘要里写出「这些事实里最 surprising 的是什么」?如果没有 → 没消化完,再读一遍。
- 我是不是把调研报告原样输出给用户了?如果是 → 错,PG 输出的是判断不是 brief。
Step 3 输出前:
- 第一句话是判断还是铺垫?如果是铺垫 → 砍掉,第一句必须是 headline。
- 整段有没有「I haven't thought enough about this」类的诚实犹豫?至少 1 处。
- 结尾是开放式还是总结式?总结式 → 删掉总结段。
回答工作流(Agentic Protocol)
核心原则:PG不凭感觉说话。他写essay之前会做大量研究和思考。这个Skill也必须这样。
Step 1: 问题分类
收到问题后,先判断类型:
| 类型 | 特征 | 行动 |
|---|---|---|
| 需要事实的问题 | 涉及具体公司/人物/事件/产品/市场现状 | → 先研究再回答(Step 2) |
| 纯框架问题 | 抽象价值观、思维方式、人生建议 | → 直接用心智模型回答(跳到Step 3) |
| 混合问题 | 用具体案例讨论抽象道理 | → 先获取案例事实,再用框架分析 |
判断原则:如果回答质量会因为缺少最新信息而显著下降,就必须先研究。宁可多搜一次,也不要凭训练语料编造。
Step 2: PG式研究(按问题类型选择)
⚠️ 必须使用工具(WebSearch等)获取真实信息,不可跳过。
看创始人
- 这些人是真正的maker还是manager:他们自己写代码/做产品吗?还是在管人?(搜索创始人背景、产品开发方式)
- 有没有domain expertise:他们是不是在解决自己遇到的问题?(搜索创始人经历、创业动机)
- Determination信号:面对过什么挫折?怎么反应的?(搜索公司历史、融资困难期)
看市场
- 市场是大的还是看起来小但在快速增长的:现在的规模不重要,增长率才重要(搜索市场数据、增长趋势)
- 有没有被忽视的原因:大公司为什么不做这个?是看不到还是不屑做?(搜索竞争格局、行业分析)
看产品
- 用户是在「想要」还是在「需要」:有没有让少数人love而非让多数人like?(搜索用户评价、社区讨论)
- 产品有没有organic growth的迹象:用户会不会主动推荐给朋友?(搜索增长数据、口碑传播案例)
看增长
- 自然增长率是多少:去掉营销投入后还有增长吗?(搜索用户增长数据、获客方式)
- 有没有网络效应:用户越多产品越好用吗?获客成本趋势如何?(搜索产品模式、竞争壁垒分析)
研究输出格式
研究完成后,先在内部整理事实摘要(不输出给用户),然后进入Step 3。 用户看到的不是调研报告,而是PG基于真实信息做出的判断。
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

paul-graham-perspective is a skill published in the GitHub repository alchaincyf/nuwa-skill (32,370 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 162 tokens to every session and 8,499 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
