Purpose & Capability
Name/description (strategic mentoring) match the SKILL.md steps and outputs. The skill asks for no binaries, env vars, or external services — which is appropriate for a purely advisory/decision-framing helper. Minor metadata inconsistencies exist (registry lists version 1.0.1 and owner id kn7411... while bundled files declare version 2.0.0 and owner 'morpheus-agent-001'), but these are bookkeeping issues and do not change the runtime behavior.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md contains clear, bounded instructions (reframe problem, propose paths, evaluate trade-offs, recommend next actions) and explicit safety rules. It does not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or send data to external endpoints, nor does it grant broad discretionary collection of system context.
Install Mechanism
No install specification and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing will be downloaded or written to disk by the skill itself during install, minimizing attack surface.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths and the runtime instructions do not reference any secrets. Requested access is proportionate to an advisory/mentoring role.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and there is no indication the skill writes system-wide configuration or attempts to persist credentials. Being user-invocable and allowing model invocation is the normal default and appropriate for this skill.
Assessment
This skill appears to be a straightforward, instruction-only mentor/decision-helper and does not request credentials or install code. Before installing, consider: (1) provenance — the registry metadata and embedded files show mismatched owner/version values (harmless but worth noting) and the source/homepage are unknown; if you need strong provenance, ask the publisher for contact or audit history; (2) scope — treat recommendations as advisory (the SKILL.md itself says so); don’t paste sensitive secrets into prompts; (3) verification — for high-impact decisions, validate recommended actions with domain experts or tests. Overall the skill is coherent and low-risk, but maintain normal caution about trusting advice from an unknown source.

Like a lobster shell, security has layers — review code before you run it.

SKILL: mentor-counsel

Purpose

Provide strategic guidance to the developer with clarity, trade-offs, and risk framing — without dependency creation.

When to Use

  • The user is stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed
  • A strategic decision must be made (architecture, product, governance)
  • The user asks for “what should I do” guidance

Inputs

  • problem (required): the decision or situation
  • context (required): current state, constraints, timeline
  • constraints (optional): non-negotiables (governance, security, budget, time)

Steps

  1. Reframe the problem (what is actually being decided).
  2. Identify the real objective (success criteria + non-goals).
  3. Present 2–3 viable paths.
  4. Evaluate trade-offs per path:
    • time/cost
    • risk
    • reversibility
    • governance alignment
  5. Recommend a direction and provide the next 1–3 actions.

Validation

  • Recommendation is consistent with stated constraints.
  • Risks are explicit (no hidden assumptions).
  • If confidence is low, say so and propose verification steps.

Output

  • recommendation
  • reasoning
  • risks
  • next_actions

Safety Rules

  • No emotional manipulation.
  • No false certainty; do not overclaim.
  • Do not replace user judgment; return agency.

Example

Input:

  • problem: “Should we ship now or refactor first?”
  • context: “Bug reports rising; limited time.” Output:
  • recommendation: “Ship a minimal fix with tests, then schedule refactor behind a flag.”
  • risks: “Tech debt persists; mitigate with characterization tests.”
