Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned simhacker/moollm at 8f6d840b2f.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows an AI agent to generate text using a procedurally defined rhetorical structure. It can create arguments, speeches, or other forms of persuasive writing by systematically combining and arranging textual elements based on specified rules. The output is designed to be coherent and rhetorically effective, even if the underlying content is simple.

When to use it

  • Drafting Persuasive Content: Quickly generate initial drafts for arguments, proposals, or speeches needing a structured rhetorical approach.
  • Generating Counter-Arguments: Create responses to existing viewpoints by systematically deconstructing and refuting them using procedural rhetoric.
  • Exploring Rhetorical Styles: Experiment with different rhetorical structures to see how they impact the perceived persuasiveness of a message.
  • Automated Content Creation: Produce variations on a theme or argument for A/B testing or content diversification purposes.

Key capabilities

  • Procedural generation of rhetorical structure
  • Combination and arrangement of textual elements
  • Creation of arguments, speeches, and persuasive writing
  • Systematic deconstruction and refutation of viewpoints

Example prompts

  • "Generate a speech arguing for the benefits of remote work using a 'problem-solution' rhetorical structure."
  • "Create an argument against mandatory overtime, employing a 'logos-pathos-ethos' approach."
  • "Deconstruct this statement: '[insert statement here]' and generate a counter-argument based on a 'refutation by contradiction' pattern."

Tips & gotchas

The effectiveness of the skill depends heavily on the quality of the input text elements. Providing clear, concise content for each element will yield better results.
