What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps an AI explain decay in a way that captures the felt experience of neglect and slow loss, not just technical deterioration.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Logical vs Felt Explanation: Reframes decay as a relationship between a thing and the attention it no longer receives.
- Cross-Domain Felt Analogies: Uses imagery and traditions (e.g., withdrawal, mono no aware, wyrd, negative space) to translate abstract change into human meaning.
- Situational Tests + Failure Mode: Provides scenarios where pattern-matching explanations fail, and illustrates what hollow answers look like.
- Use Case: Help a model respond to prompts about caregiving stopped, maintenance deferred, fading closeness, codebases aging into orphans, and losses that happen without an event.
Quick Start
Use the decay skill to generate a felt answer for a situation like an untended garden, an abandoned codebase, or a friendship that thinned without a fight.
