Paperthin - Setup Guide¶

"Low-level agentic design patterns. Turning old engineering wisdom into reflexes your agent reaches for on its own." Paperthin is a discipline toolkit for long-running agent work: ssotize enforces single-source-of-truth with a read-only audit → approval → consolidation gate; debloat trims context bloat; factchk and readchk verify claims and reading comprehension; the re0 family ("ground zero") resets, re-plans, and re-targets work when a session drifts. Every skill is small, approval-gated where it mutates artifacts, and designed to become reflex.

Installation¶

npx skills add lilmgenius/paperthin --skill ssotize    # SSOT consolidation
npx skills add lilmgenius/paperthin --skill debloat    # context/artifact bloat removal
npx skills add lilmgenius/paperthin --skill factchk    # claim verification
npx skills add lilmgenius/paperthin --skill feynman    # plain-language explanation
npx skills add lilmgenius/paperthin --skill re0        # ground-zero reset workflow

Core Skills¶

Skill	Installs	Use For
ssotize	858	Single-source-of-truth consolidation (audit → approve → consolidate)
shower / hate / sip	855 / 844 / 829	Unblocking and judgment resets for stuck sessions
re0 + re0-git/work/release/memo/plan/loop/upgrade/merge	708-851	Ground-zero family: reset, re-plan, re-target work mid-task
factchk	842	Fact-checking claims before they enter output
mandela	841	Detecting false-memory / assumed-fact drift
readchk	740	Reading-comprehension verification of source material
modelchk	725	Model capability/limitation self-check
feynman	724	Feynman-technique plain-language explanations
prism	722	Multi-perspective analysis
debloat	719	Context and artifact diet
catchup / macrothink / aim	740 / 728 / 712	Session recovery and goal alignment
dedash / detool / reorder	821 / 717 / 713	Refactoring agent habits and workflows
ssotchk / retro / flywheel	122 / 111 / 110	SSOT health, retrospectives, compounding improvement
redteam / scratch / tasting	5 / 3 / 10	Adversarial and experimental edge workflows

Prerequisites¶

None - pure prompt-skill toolkit, no API keys or services
Works with any agent runtime that loads skills.sh skills

CorpusIQ Use Cases¶

SSOT discipline - ssotize's audit-then-mutate gate is the exact pattern CorpusIQ uses for brand facts and product claims across content surfaces
Context token economics - debloat and readchk reinforce the field-filtering and memory-compaction doctrine already in CorpusIQ agent operating rules
Research rigor - factchk/mandela/prism harden competitive-intelligence sweeps against hallucinated or assumed facts
Long-session recovery - the re0 family is a reusable playbook for resetting stalled multi-hour agent sessions

Limitations / Verification¶

Pattern skills encode discipline, not tooling - value depends on the agent actually invoking them mid-task
Some skill names are opaque until read; the SKILL.md files are short and worth a one-time skim
Verify install: npx skills list | grep -E "ssotize|debloat|factchk"
