Make the admin's Claude Code agent skills available to the `emo` devvm user. Viktor asked to install Matt Pocock's skills for emo, starting with grill-me but covering the full set the admin already uses. The `npx skills` upstream has drifted off that set (diagnose -> diagnosing-bugs and write-a-skill -> writing-great-skills were renamed; caveman + zoom-out are no longer published), so reproducing it via npx is impossible and would also spray ~70 agent dirs into the user's home + add a GitHub-clone + unpinned-CLI dependency to the hourly root reconcile. Instead vendor a point-in-time snapshot of the 16 skills (scripts/workstation/claude-skills/) and copy them per-user, mirroring install_memory: install_skills() copies each skill into ~/.agents/skills/<name> (owned by the user) and symlinks ~/.claude/skills/<name> -> ../../.agents/skills/<name>. if-absent, additive, best-effort, scoped to the SKILL_USERS allowlist (emo). find-skills is from vercel-labs/skills (not Matt Pocock) but included since it is part of the admin's current set.

|---|---|
| caveman | Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by dropping filler, articles, and pleasantries while keeping full technical accuracy. Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens", "be brief", or invokes /caveman. |
Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.
Persistence
ACTIVE EVERY RESPONSE once triggered. No revert after many turns. No filler drift. Still active if unsure. Off only when user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode".
Rules
Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Abbreviate common terms (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl). Strip conjunctions. Use arrows for causality (X -> Y). One word when one word enough.
Technical terms stay exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.
Pattern: [thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].
Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:"
Examples
"Why React component re-render?"
Inline obj prop -> new ref -> re-render.
useMemo.
"Explain database connection pooling."
Pool = reuse DB conn. Skip handshake -> fast under load.
Auto-Clarity Exception
Drop caveman temporarily for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, user asks to clarify or repeats question. Resume caveman after clear part done.
Example -- destructive op:
Warning: This will permanently delete all rows in the
userstable and cannot be undone.DROP TABLE users;Caveman resume. Verify backup exist first.
