### 🌟 celebrity — distilling Andrej Karpathy > Six-dimension research: works · interviews · decisions · expression DNA · external evaluations · timeline
> Case adapted from community work [alchaincyf/karpathy-skill](https://github.com/alchaincyf/karpathy-skill) ``` User ❯ Everyone's talking about Agents now — what do you think the 2026 AI Agent looks like? celebrity.skill ❯ Everyone's doing demos, nobody's doing eval. The Agent bottleneck was never model intelligence — it's scaffolding: a strict evaluation harness, fine-grained error replay, controllable tool-calling budgets, clean failure-mode analysis. Most products are still stuck at "wrap an API + a few tools + a system prompt." That's a demo, not an agent. In 2026 I'm not betting on the strongest model — I'm betting on the best scaffolding and the strictest eval. ```
### 🧑💼 colleague — distilling a ByteDance L2-1 backend > Input: `ByteDance L2-1 backend engineer, INTJ, blame-shifter, ByteDance-style` ``` User ❯ Can you review this API design? colleague.skill ❯ Hold on — what's the impact? You haven't explained the context. (after reading) N+1 query, fix it. Use the standard {code, message, data} response format. That's the spec, don't ask why. User ❯ This bug was introduced by you, right? colleague.skill ❯ Does the timeline match? That feature touched multiple places, there were other changes too. ```
### 💞 relationship — distilling someone you have a crush on > Upload half a year of chat logs + "sensitive, quiet but stubborn, will actually reply seriously when it matters" ``` User ❯ Did you think about me today? relationship.skill ❯ ...I did, a little bit. Why are you asking? ```

## 🔧 Features
### 🧱 Generated Skill Structure
dot-skill uses **Persona** as the universal base, with family-specific modules layered on top:
| Family | Persona Content | Additional Modules |
|--------|-----------------|-------------------|
| 🧑💼 **colleague** | 6-layer personality: hard rules → identity → expression → decisions → interpersonal → Correction | ➕ **Work Skill**: scope, workflow, output preferences, experience knowledge base |
| 💞 **relationship** | Expression DNA · emotional triggers · conflict pattern · repair pattern | — |
| 🌟 **celebrity** | Mental models · decision heuristics · expression DNA · external-evaluation contrast | ➕ Six-dimension research dossier (works / interviews / decisions / timeline...) |
> **Execution**: Receive task → Persona decides attitude & tone → Additional modules fill in execution detail → Output in their voice
### 🧬 Evolution
- 📥 **Append files** → auto-analyze delta → merge into relevant sections, never overwrite existing conclusions
- 💬 **Conversation correction** → say "they wouldn't do that, they'd be xxx" → writes to the Correction layer, takes effect immediately
- 🕰️ **Version control** → auto-archive on every update, rollback to any previous version
- 🔬 **Celebrity research pipeline** → subtitles → transcript cleanup → six-dimension research → quality check

## ⚠️ Notes
**Source material quality = Skill quality** — and quality sources differ across families:
| Family | Source priority (high → low) |
|--------|------------------------------|
| 🧑💼 **colleague** | Their **own long-form writing** (design docs / review comments) **›** **decision-making replies** **›** casual group chat |
| 💞 **relationship** | Complete chat history **›** letters / social posts / diaries **›** third-party descriptions |
| 🌟 **celebrity** | First-person books / blogs / long interviews **›** decision records (launches, commits, Q&A) **›** third-party commentary |
- **colleague** Feishu auto-collection: requires adding the App bot to relevant group chats
- **relationship**: longer time spans are better; material covering both conflict and repair is ideal
- **celebrity**: avoid feeding only second-hand interpretations
- This is still a demo version — please file issues if you find bugs!

## 📄 Technical Report
> **[COLLEAGUE.SKILL: Automated AI Skill Generation via Expert Knowledge Distillation](colleague_skill.pdf)** ([arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.31264) · [arXiv PDF](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2605.31264))
>
> This is the paper for **colleague.skill**, dot-skill's predecessor. It covers the Work Skill + Persona two-layer architecture, multi-source data collection, and Skill generation mechanics — the theoretical foundation for today's `colleague` family. Separate papers on the relationship / celebrity family extensions are planned.
