How to load in Codex / Claude Code / OpenClaw / Hermes

  1. Start from START_HERE.md, manifest.json, or the main catalog.
  2. Select this pack, then select one skill for the immediate job.
  3. Load only the pack README.md, the selected skill file, and the matching example if a concrete prompt pattern helps.
  4. Preserve the selected skill's output schema, assumptions, failure modes, and human review gates.
  5. Do not treat a skill as permission for autonomous external action; keep external, personnel, financial, legal, security, and high-impact decisions behind explicit human review.
