Generate and diagnose metaphor with Pat Pattison's methods, the three types (expressed identity, qualifying, verbal), the three expressed-identity forms, collision drills (noun×verb, noun×noun, adjective×noun), playing in keys (fundamental → diatonic family → collisions), the two metaphor-finder questions, participles, transitive vs intransitive, simile as focus control, and grounded-metaphor diagnosis.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'metaphor' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'metaphor' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named metaphor already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/songwriting/skills/metaphor' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/songwriting/skills/metaphor' ~/.agents/skills/'metaphor' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'metaphor' ~/.claude/skills/'metaphor' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
