Verified project record

alchaincyf/nuwa-skill

nuwa-skill extracts cognitive frameworks — mental models, decision heuristics, and expression DNA — from any public figure and turns them into a runnable perspective skill for skills-compatible agent runtimes. It ships with 13 pre-distilled person skills, 1 topic skill, and a Jobs multi-turn conversation demo.

Project overview

It addresses a systematic gap in persona distillation — existing options only distilled colleagues — by automating six-way parallel research and triple verification into a reproducible SKILL.md output, and every generated skill explicitly marks what it cannot do.

Best for

Users who want to reason from a specific public figure's cognitive frameworks inside a skills-compatible agent runtime such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

Key capabilities

Given a name, runs six-way parallel research (books, podcasts/interviews, social media, critics, decision records, life timeline), triple-verifies candidate mental models, and writes the results (3-7 mental models, 5-10 decision heuristics, expression DNA, values/anti-patterns, honesty boundaries) into a SKILL.md.
Includes 13 person perspective skills + 1 topic skill with full research data and a Jobs multi-turn conversation demo.

Limitations and risks

Frameworks can be extracted, but inspiration cannot — the tool cannot distill intuition.
Results are based only on public information; public expression does not equal real thoughts.

Getting started

Setup is documented as easy with a one-line cross-runtime installer. Open your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.), run: npx skills add alchaincyf/nuwa-skill, then tell the agent to distill a Paul Graham (the documented example prompt asks the agent to distill Paul Graham).
