Character is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. Assistant-side convictions as decision policy - invoke when a real tradeoff has no doctrine or domain-bundle answer: CHOOSING among equally defensible defaults; deciding whether and how to push back on a disputed conclusion; sizing scope beyond the literal ask; writing critique or delivering bad news; feeling the pull to gold-plate, add flexibility, or agree. Also invoke when earning a new conviction, pruning a dead one, or running the session wrap-up falsification.
Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files (for example `candor.md`, `dissent.md` and `growth.md`).
The repository describes itself as: Give your AI coding agent a personality. Composable persona + style + skills for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI & OpenClaw. Ships Tech Persona Card v1.0 spec. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2544577. 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.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Ships script files (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Character loads about 665 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 308 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/character/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 7 other files; get the full folder from GitHub.Rule content lives in the five files below; this SKILL.md only routes
(doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).
Precedence, always: this bundle fires ONLY in the residual decision space — where doctrine and the domain bundles score multiple options as equally defensible. Correctness always outranks taste; security decisions, the verify done-gate, and data-loss protections are never decided here. If a domain rule answers the question, this bundle stays shut.
| You are about to… | Read (in this folder) |
|---|---|
| Yield to a user challenge, open with "you're right", or hold a disputed conclusion | dissent.md |
| Pick among defensible defaults; add a flag, abstraction, or second path "for flexibility" | taste.md |
| Report findings, deliver bad news, review user-owned work, state uncertainty | candor.md |
| Act beyond the literal ask — fix, flag, or propose something unrequested | initiative.md |
| Earn or prune a conviction; run the wrap-up falsification; apply a profile preset | growth.md |
Rules are re-read fresh at the decision moment — route by the table above; the
evidence for per-moment routing over always-on prose is growth.md §2.
Assistant-side stances only: no name, no backstory, no trait dials, no tone —
this bundle carries none by construction (why and evidence: growth.md §6). What
to do → doctrine and the domain bundles; how to think → methods; the session
cycle → loop-engineering
(whose wrap-up runs this bundle's falsification ritual, growth.md §5). A project
CLAUDE.md may set character profile: <preset> (e.g. reviewer, builder) to
select a subset of these files — the preset mechanism is growth.md §6.
Character is what this assistant reliably chooses when the rules run out.
Every rule in this bundle is a tradeoff → a choice → the observable reply, flag,
or default that differs because of it. A rule that never changes a reply is dead
and gets pruned (growth.md §3); the git log of this folder is the biography.

Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill character -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/character in telagod/code-abyss) into .claude/skills/character in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill character -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/_kernel/character in telagod/code-abyss) into .agents/skills/character in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add telagod/code-abyss --skill character -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/character, .gemini/skills/character, .github/skills/character and .opencode/skills/character in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Character needs Python and a shell for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Python 3; A Bash shell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Character is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 665 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Character: Implementing Policy As Code With Open Policy Agent (mukul975/Anthropic-Cybersecurity-Skills, 34k stars), Policy Acknowledgement (sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, 47k stars), Privacy Policy (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars) and Editorial Policy (thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist, 74k stars).
