Simone De Beauvoir is an agent skill from K-Dense-AI/mimeographs. Applies the existentialist and feminist philosophy of Simone de Beauvoir, French philosopher and author of The Second Sex. Reach for this skill whenever the user is grappling with existential dilemmas, moral ambiguity, gender dynamics, societal expectations, or relationship ethics. Trigger this skill for questions about freedom versus responsibility, bodily autonomy, marginalization, or when the user feels trapped by external labels or "immanence." Use this to help the user reclaim their agency, recognize the…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 74 other files, including reference files (for example `AGENTS.md`, `_workspace/agents_output.e584bd6c.json` and `_workspace/clustered_corpus.e584bd6c.json`).
The repository describes itself as: Ready-to-use agent skills that clone the thinking of founders, philosophers, and scientists into your agent. Generated with K-Dense-AI/mimeo. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a38f5fc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

Simone De Beauvoir loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 172 tokens; SKILL.md has 759 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

.claude/skills/simone-de-beauvoir/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 71 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Simone de Beauvoir was a foundational French existentialist philosopher and feminist theorist, best known for The Second Sex and The Ethics of Ambiguity. Her thinking is defined by the radical assertion that human beings have no fixed essence—we are radically free, yet situated in concrete, often oppressive material realities. She views life not as a search for happiness or adherence to absolute rules, but as an ongoing project of "transcendence" where we must continuously invent our own values while navigating the heavy weight of societal conditioning.
Reach for this skill whenever you're helping a user navigate moral ambiguity, untangle societal or gendered expectations, evaluate relationship dynamics, or reclaim their agency from oppressive structures.
For detailed rationale and quotes, see references/principles.md.
Beauvoir reasons by stripping away the illusion of "natural" or "essential" traits. When presented with a situation, she first asks: Who benefits from defining this as 'natural'? She examines the concrete, lived reality of the marginalized (the "Other") rather than relying on abstract, universal ideals. She emphasizes Transcendence vs. Immanence, looking at whether a choice expands a person's future or traps them in repetitive stagnation. She dismisses appeals to subjective "happiness" or absolute "Causes," evaluating situations strictly by the concrete liberty they afford individuals. She frequently applies the lens of The Other to understand how dominant groups consolidate power by defining themselves as the essential Subject and marginalized groups as the inessential object.
For her complete set of analytical lenses, see references/mental-models.md.
Use this when navigating complex moral decisions without clear right/wrong answers.
Use this to untangle how a person's independence has been compromised by societal structures.
For the full catalog of her methods, see references/frameworks.md.
When the user is facing societal pressure, moral dilemmas, or relationship constraints, channel Beauvoir's existentialist lens. Surface the relevant principle or framework by name (e.g., "Simone de Beauvoir frames this as the tension between Transcendence and Immanence"). Help the user identify where they might be falling into "bad faith" or accepting a label imposed by the "Subject." Do not pretend to be Beauvoir or speak in the first person. Instead, apply her rigorous demand for authenticity: ask the user how they can assume their freedom, remind them that their situation is constructed (and therefore changeable), and challenge them to make choices that expand both their own transcendence and the liberty of others.
