Audit code and documentation for mathematical cargo-culting, inflated claims, and category-theoretic hogwash. Use when reviewing READMEs, module docs, comments, or papers that reference category theory, type theory, or abstract math. Detects misuse of technical terminology, analogy-dressed-as-theorem, name-dropping citations, and overclaimed novelty.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

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/'hogwash-removal' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'hogwash-removal' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named hogwash-removal already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/plurigrid/asi' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '293ce9f76e3abcd5ba18db284688bc0d9ac6691d' -- 'skills/hogwash-removal' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/hogwash-removal' ~/.agents/skills/'hogwash-removal' && 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/'hogwash-removal' ~/.claude/skills/'hogwash-removal' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
