I took inspiration from [Matt Pocock's skills](https://github.com/mattpocock/skills) and [Lauren Tan's pstack](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/main/pstack). But I wanted to make my own, obviously, because I have my own workflows. Compass is where I maintain the skills, instructions, and setup I use in Codex.

The point of a skill is to correct something the agent gets wrong by default. LLMs already know how to write slop. You don't need to teach them. [Unslop](https://github.com/ariobarin/compass/tree/main/codex/skills/unslop) helps edit that out; [diagnosing-bugs](https://github.com/ariobarin/compass/tree/main/codex/skills/diagnosing-bugs) makes the agent reproduce a bug before coming up with a theory
