evals

danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

Comprehensive AI agent evaluation framework with three grader types (code-based: deterministic/fast; model-based: nuanced/LLM rubric; human: gold standard) and pass@k / pass^k scoring. Evaluates agent transcripts, tool-call sequences, and multi-turn conversations — not just single outputs. Supports capability evals (~70% pass target) and regression evals (~99% pass target). Workflows: RunEval, CompareModels, ComparePrompts, CreateJudge, CreateUseCase, RunScenario, CreateScenario, ViewResults. Integrates with THE ALGORITHM ISC rows for automated verification. Domain patterns pre-configured for coding, conversational, research, and computer-use agent types in Data/DomainPatterns.yaml. Tools: AlgorithmBridge.ts (ISC integration), FailureToTask.ts (failures → tasks), SuiteManager.ts (create/graduate/saturation-check), ScenarioRunner.ts (multi-turn simulated-user), TranscriptCapture.ts, PAIAgentAdapter.ts (wraps Inference.ts), ScenarioToTranscript.ts. Code-based graders: string_match, regex_match, binary_tests, st

prompting

danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

Meta-prompting standard library — the PAI system for generating, optimizing, and composing prompts programmatically. Owns three pillars: Standards (Anthropic Claude 4.x best practices, context engineering principles, 1,500+ paper synthesis, Fabric pattern system, markdown-first / no-XML-tags); Templates (Handlebars-based — Briefing.hbs, Structure.hbs, Gate.hbs, DynamicAgent.hbs, and eval-specific templates Judge.hbs, Rubric.hbs, TestCase.hbs, Comparison.hbs, Report.hbs used by Agents and Evals skills); and Tools (RenderTemplate.ts for CLI/TypeScript rendering with data-content separation). Philosophy: prompts that write prompts — structure is code, content is data. Delivered 65% token reduction across PAI (53K → 18K tokens) via template extraction. Output is always a prompt to be used elsewhere, not final content. Reference files: Standards.md (complete prompt engineering guide), Tools/RenderTemplate.ts (rendering implementation). NOT FOR generating final content or answers — this skill produces prompts only

agents

danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

Compose CUSTOM agents from Base Traits + Voice + Specialization, and manage predefined functional TEAMS. Traits combine expertise (security, technical, research), personality (skeptical, analytical, enthusiastic), and approach (thorough, rapid, systematic). ComposeAgent.ts merges base + user config, outputs unique prompt + ElevenLabs voice + prosody. Predefined teams: engineering, architecture, marketing, design, security, research, content, strategy — each YAML-configured with roles, tensions, and specialist members. Observer team variant: read-only oversight agents that vote continue/halt/escalate against the tool-activity audit log (high-blast-radius or unattended runs only). USE WHEN create custom agents, spin up agents, specialized agents, agent personalities, available traits, list traits, agent voices, compose agent, spawn parallel agents, launch agents, engineering team, architecture team, marketing team, design team, security team, research team, content team, strategy team, get the team on this, obs

apertureoscillation

danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

3-pass scope oscillation that holds a question constant while shifting the scope envelope — narrow/tactical, wide/strategic, then synthesis — to surface design tensions invisible at any single zoom level. Requires two distinct inputs: the tactical target (what you're building) and strategic context (the larger system it serves). Pass 1 captures the component's own internal logic. Pass 2 reveals what the system needs it to be. Pass 3 finds where those views diverge — that delta is the output. Produces: design tensions, scope recommendations, and coherence assessments. Single workflow: Workflows/Oscillate.md. BPE-fragile — quarterly test recommended to verify smarter models don't naturally oscillate scope without prompting. Best integration point: Algorithm OBSERVE phase (before ISC) or THINK phase (before approach commitment). NOT a lens rotation (that's IterativeDepth) and NOT idea generation (that's BeCreative). NOT FOR deep incident causal chains (use RootCauseAnalysis) or assumption decomposition (use Firs

aphorisms

danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure

Manages a curated aphorism collection with full CRUD — content-based matching, themed search, thinker research, and database maintenance. Organizes quotes by author, theme, context, and newsletter usage history to prevent repetition. Four workflows: FindAphorism (analyze newsletter content, match themes, return 3-5 ranked recommendations with rationale), AddAphorism (parse quote + author, extract themes, validate uniqueness, update theme index), ResearchThinker (deep research on philosopher, add sourced quotes to database), SearchAphorisms (search by theme, keyword, or author). Database at ~/.claude/skills/aphorisms/Database/aphorisms.md — stores full quote text, author attribution, theme tags, context/background, source reference, and usage history per entry. Theme index supports 12+ categories: Work Ethic, Resilience, Learning, Stoicism, Risk, Wisdom, Truth-seeking, Excellence, Curiosity, Freedom, Rationality, Clarity. Supported thinkers: Hitchens, Feynman, Deutsch, Sam Harris, Spinoza, plus any requested a

Art Skill

Complete visual content system for creating illustrations, diagrams, and visual content.

Customization

Before executing, check for user customizations at: ~/.claude/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Art/

If this directory exists, load and apply:

PREFERENCES.md - Aesthetic preferences, default model, output location
CharacterSpecs.md - Character design specifications
SceneConstruction.md - Scene composition guidelines

These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.

🚨 MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)

You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.

Send voice notification:

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Art skill to ACTION"}' \
  > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Output text notification:

Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Art** skill to ACTION...

This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.

🚨🚨🚨 MANDATORY: Output to Downloads First 🚨🚨🚨

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚠️  ALL GENERATED IMAGES GO TO ~/Downloads/ FIRST                   ⚠️
⚠️  NEVER output directly to project directories                    ⚠️
⚠️  User MUST preview in Finder/Preview before use                  ⚠️
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

This applies to ALL workflows in this skill.

Core Aesthetic

Default: Production-quality concept art style appropriate for editorial and technical content.

User customization defines specific aesthetic preferences including:

Visual style and influences
Line treatment and rendering approach
Color palette and wash technique
Character design specifications
Scene composition rules

Load from: ~/.claude/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Art/PREFERENCES.md

Reference Images

User customization may include reference images for consistent style.

Check ~/.claude/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Art/PREFERENCES.md for:

Reference image locations
Style examples by use case
Character and scene reference guidance

Usage: Before generating images, load relevant user-provided references to match their preferred style.

Image Generation

Default model: Check user customization at SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Art/PREFERENCES.md Fallback: nano-banana-pro (Gemini 3 Pro)

Model-Specific Size Requirements

Each model accepts different --size formats. Using the wrong format causes validation errors.

Model	`--size` format	Valid values	Default
`flux`	Aspect ratio	`1:1`, `16:9`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`	`16:9`
`nano-banana`	Aspect ratio	`1:1`, `16:9`, `3:2`, `2:3`, `3:4`, `4:3`, `4:5`, `5:4`, `9:16`, `21:9`	`16:9`
`nano-banana-pro`	Resolution tier	`1K`, `2K`, `4K` (also accepts `--aspect-ratio` separately)	`2K`
`gpt-image-1`	Pixel dimensions	`1024x1024`, `1536x1024`, `1024x1536`	`1024x1024`

Note: nano-banana-pro uses --size for resolution quality and a separate --aspect-ratio flag for aspect ratio (defaults to 16:9).

🚨 CRITICAL: Always Output to Downloads First

ALL generated images MUST go to ~/Downloads/ first for preview and selection.

Never output directly to a project's public/images/ directory. User needs to review images in Preview before they're used.

Workflow:

Generate to ~/Downloads/[descriptive-name].png
User reviews in Preview
If approved, THEN copy to final destination (e.g., cms/public/images/)
Create WebP and thumbnail versions at final destination

# CORRECT - Output to Downloads for preview
bun run ~/.claude/skills/Media/Art/Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "[PROMPT]" \
  --size 2K \
  --aspect-ratio 1:1 \
  --thumbnail \
  --output ~/Downloads/blog-header-concept.png

# After approval, copy to final location
cp ~/Downloads/blog-header-concept.png ${PROJECTS_DIR}/YourWebsite/cms/public/images/
cp ~/Downloads/blog-header-concept-thumb.png ${PROJECTS_DIR}/YourWebsite/cms/public/images/

Multiple Reference Images (Character/Style Consistency)

For improved character or style consistency, use multiple --reference-image flags:

# Multiple reference images for better likeness
bun run ~/.claude/skills/Media/Art/Tools/Generate.ts \
  --model nano-banana-pro \
  --prompt "Person from references at a party..." \
  --reference-image face1.jpg \
  --reference-image face2.jpg \
  --reference-image face3.jpg \
  --size 2K \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9 \
  --output ~/Downloads/character-scene.png

API Limits (Gemini):

Up to 5 human reference images
Up to 6 object reference images
Maximum 14 total reference images per request

API keys in: ${PAI_DIR}/.env
