Phewsh Skills Atlas

Know what a skill can actually do.

Tested ways to think, build, verify, and hand off—plus a trusted map of the AI-skills frontier. Phewsh curates provenance, compatibility, evidence, and continuity instead of competing on catalog size.

Phewsh Originals

Maintained work you can use now.

Each card names its activation, supported harnesses, provenance, and evidence. “Tested” means a dated check exists—not a blanket security guarantee.

Frontier Map

Important work, correctly labeled.

Phewsh links to creators and upstream repositories. A skill, a directory, a scanner, and a complete operating system are not the same thing.

Turn an ambitious objective into evidence-gated builder and independent-critic phases with durable closure.

Inspired by Matt Shumer's Gauntlet Loop. Phewsh adds persistent project truth, authority boundaries, evidence gates, completion criteria, and Project · Next · Work · Record closure. It is not Matt Shumer's official skill.

Packs

Catalog meaning. Installation mechanics.

Skill describes the intellectual artifact. Pack describes how Phewsh previews, installs, links, and removes it.

The Atlas is the canonical editorial surface for originals, upstream work, provenance, compatibility, and evidence.

phewsh pack reads the same catalog. Managed blocks are previewed and removable; linked systems remain upstream.

Build a Skill

Short first. Deeper only when needed.

A core skill should usually fit on one screen. Progressive disclosure keeps situational examples, scripts, templates, and rubrics in referenced files.

The short-skill standard

  1. One triggering description and one concrete outcome.
  2. Three to seven steps.
  3. One explicit completion gate.
  4. Essential guardrails only.

Portable by construction

Use the open Agent Skills format: a directory with SKILL.md, YAML name and description, plus optional scripts, references, and assets.
