Emergency containment skill: guidance and guarded procedure for immediate hard termination of processes, services, or accounts when graceful options are unavail
Provides a disciplined, safety-focused procedure for performing immediate hard kills (SIGKILL / emergency shutdowns) in emergency situations. Emphasises confirmation steps, guardrails, blast-radius assessment, and documentation to ensure hard terminations are authorized and auditable.
Use only in urgent emergencies where a process or service must be stopped immediately and graceful shutdown attempts have failed or are impossible — for example, runaway processes, active security breaches, or cascading failure scenarios. Requires explicit authorization before execution.
Best paired with ops/incident-response agents that can interact with system process managers and have human-in-the-loop controls (Hermes-style, Ops assistants).

Symbol — Policy Tagging / Semantic Marker
Define and apply named policy 'symbols' (machine-readable tags) that trigger enforcement actions like audit logging, throttling or compliance gates when conditi
Arcana (Technical Mechanism Analysis)
Explain how systems, protocols, or architectures actually work under the hood and surface non-obvious implications and failure modes.
History — Temporal Investigation
Performs structured reconstruction of how a system, decision, or codebase arrived at its current state: timelines, key decision points, and contextual analysis
Hypnotic Pattern
Design short-lived attention-capture patterns (progress indicators, micro-rewards, visual anchors) to hold focus during bounded flows without creating addictive
Fear (Pre-mortem & Risk Amplifier)
Structured pre-mortem generator that amplifies plausible worst-case scenarios, ranks failure modes, and produces concrete mitigation recommendations.
Greater Invisibility
Plan and execute live changes with minimal user-visible noise using feature flags, shadow writes, progressive rollout, and operator-visible signals.
