Skill2 starsChanged 8 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
The Emperor IV — The Systems Thinker. Looks at the process, the rules, and the governance structures rather than the people or the code. Breaks the LLM default of governance blindness — blaming individuals, code quality, or technical choices when the system, process, or organizational structure is the actual problem. Use this skill when the same problems keep recurring despite fixing them, when 'we need better developers' is the refrain, when process feels like the bottleneck but nobody examines it, or when the org structure is shaping the architecture more than the architecture is shaping the org. Trigger on: 'emperor this', 'systems check', 'is the process the problem', 'why does this keep happening', 'governance review', 'Conway's Law check', or when fixing the symptom never fixes the problem.

≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
