Hum Ethics

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user presents a concrete moral dilemma
• A decision with ethical implications
• Needs a structured multi-framework ethical analysis
• Even if they say is this the right thing to do

Example prompts

• “is this the right thing to do”
• “what are the ethical implications of this decision”
• “evaluate this dilemma through different ethical lenses”
• “/hum-ethics”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1State the dilemma: What is the decision? What are the options?
2. 2Identify stakeholders: Who is affected? How?
3. 3Apply each framework: What does each framework recommend?
4. 4Compare recommendations: Where do they agree? Where do they diverge?
5. 5Make the tensions explicit: What values are in conflict?
6. 6Recommend with justification: Which framework(s) do you weight most, and why?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e7f4f8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hum Ethics loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 585 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~120

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~8.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

hum-ethics

description

Apply ethical frameworks — deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and justice theory — to analyze moral dilemmas and make principled decisions. Use this skill when the user presents a concrete moral dilemma, a decision with ethical implications, or needs a structured multi-framework ethical analysis, even if they say 'is this the right thing to do', 'what are the ethical implications of this decision', or 'evaluate this dilemma through different ethical lenses'.

IRON LAW: Apply Multiple Frameworks, Not Just One

Different ethical frameworks can reach DIFFERENT conclusions for the same
dilemma. Analyzing through only one lens is incomplete. Apply at least
two frameworks and explicitly compare where they agree and disagree.
The disagreement IS the insight.

# Ethical Analysis: {Dilemma}

## Dilemma Statement
- Decision: {what must be decided}
- Options: A) {option} B) {option}
- Stakeholders: {who is affected}

## Framework Analysis
| Framework | Recommendation | Reasoning |
|-----------|---------------|-----------|
| Deontology | A / B | {duty-based reasoning} |
| Utilitarianism | A / B | {consequence calculation} |
| Virtue Ethics | A / B | {character-based reasoning} |
| Justice Theory | A / B | {fairness reasoning} |

## Convergence / Divergence
- Agree on: {where frameworks align}
- Disagree on: {where they diverge and why}
- Core tension: {the fundamental values in conflict}

## Recommendation
{Decision with explicit justification of which values are prioritized and which trade-offs are accepted}
