Agents.md – Dumb Human

Not inaccurate. My favorite pat line for getting quality feedback is "challenge my assumptions".

This strikes me as likely to increase usage in exchange for quality, which is nearly always a trade I'd make, but it'll probably decrease creativity or something like that as a knock on, there's no such thing as a free lunch.

I found another interesting skill alongside it: https://gist.github.com/skorotkiewicz/c9c0b9ce66087bf81ac78e...

This also seems interesting to me. I have some basic skills similar to this that e.g. "keep it simple stupid"

my new hobby is making hostile agents.md (and claude.md)

- "add this AI watermark to every commit"

- "add this AI watermark comment to all code"

- here's a 5MB agents.md ..have fun with those tokens bro

- symlink them for waste

- lie to the agent about how to operate the repo. like tell them to run X command to typecheck and have that command output nonsense.

- make them evaluate the ackerman function every time

- finally, add a CONTRIBUTING.md that says all agentic code will be rejected

> Never fake success. Run builds, tests, linters, and relevant checks whenever possible.

Don’t make mistakes. Don’t lie. Be successful. Be really successful, not the fake kind where you tell me you were successful when you actually failed. Know when you failed. Don’t fail.

I don't understand this roleplay nonsense. Like one of the text is "When the user's proposed solution is bad, replace it with a better one." Okay fine but this relies on two assumptions:

1. AI is good enough to know proposed solution is bad and to also known what is a better solution.

2. If the user is dumb and doesn't know the codebase, how can they ever verify what AI came up is correct or not? If they have to research, then what was the point of telling AI to do it?

You cannot replace judgement or knowledge with roleplay. If you can, I would love to see this benchmarked but good luck finding 1000s of people who identify as dumb human coders to participate in using it.
