| 4 | 4.Catchup Rebuild the human's lost context on a project from live state, in plain language: what needs them, what changed, what new words mean. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~785 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 5 | 5.Debloat Compress an artifact that has accreted into bloat — padding, over-qualification, fused sentences, walls of enumeration, adjacent restatement — down to its load-bearing density, meaning preserved. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~813 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 6 | 6.Factchk Verify reality-grounded claims against external sources in both directions before they ship — could the 'absurd' be real, could the 'obvious' be false or long-established? | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~717 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |

| 10 | 10.Re0 Merge Review and land an external contribution the way this suite does: gate it against the thesis, land it with the author's credit intact, complete a new skill rather than merging it raw, then approve… | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~1.2k | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 11 | 11.Re0 Work Restart a project or artifact from v0 while preserving only proven lessons, contracts, gates, vocabulary, real-surface tests, and negative corpus. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~566 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |

| 14 | 14.Shower Cold-read the artifact you're focused on from a fresh, zero-context sub-session to confirm it stands on its own — a shower-thought reset for accumulated session bias. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~820 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 15 | 15.Ssotize Audit and consolidate a fact that's scattered across places into one canonical source, after approval, and replace the rest with references. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~1.3k | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 16 | 16.Dedash Remove em-dashes and the dashes standing in for them from a user-owned scope, reading each occurrence in context and choosing the punctuation or wording that fits. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~948 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 17 | 17.Detool Make durable artifacts portable by replacing incidental stack, vendor, model, CLI, path, quota, or harness nouns with the mechanism they mean, while keeping provenance, runbooks, and tool-subject… | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~895 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |

| 22 | 22.Re0 Git Rewrite a finished commit's message into a clean, handoff-ready form in your own log style, so git log alone tells the story. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~1k | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 23 | 23.Re0 Memo Turn a finished, failed, or disappointing work cycle into portable lessons, anti-patterns, quality gates, and next-cycle vocabulary. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~815 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |

| 27 | 27.Sip After you create or change an artifact or skill, taste-test it with our own skills instead of trusting your in-session judgment — recursive self-improvement, made automatic. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~761 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
| 28 | 28.Aim When data lands with a thin ask — files, a repo, a paste, a chat scrollback — read it and propose what the user is trying to do with it, as a proposal to confirm rather than a question to answer. | LilMGenius/ | 1.1k | — | ~406 | Automated safety check: Pass | MIT | 7 days ago |
