What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a2a909. 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.

    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

Perspective Reversal loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 188 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~188
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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.

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,131 words (~2,141 tokens).

“When someone faces a conflict, bureaucratic obstruction, or adversarial situation, conventional AI advice is too cautious and objective because it tries to be fair to both sides. The breakthrough insight: if you query from the opponent's perspective — pretending to…”
