CONTRIBUTE A BOSS

Know a terrible boss archetype we're missing? Help us capture them.

HOW IT WORKS

Contributing a boss skill is straightforward. Follow these steps:

  1. Fork the repo on GitHub — Get your own copy at github.com/KongZhen/boss-skills
  2. Create a new directory: skills/boss.your-boss-name/
  3. Write skill.yaml — Metadata, modes, inputs/outputs
  4. Write personas: SKILL.en.md and SKILL.zh-CN.md
  5. Add examples: Create examples/ directory with usage examples
  6. Submit a PR — We'll review and merge if it meets our standards
SKILL STRUCTURE

Every skill follows this directory structure:

skills/boss.your-boss/
├── skill.yaml          # Metadata
├── SKILL.en.md         # English persona
├── SKILL.zh-CN.md      # Chinese persona
├── assistant.json      # OpenAI format
└── examples/
    ├── examples.en.md
    └── examples.zh-CN.md
CONTENT STYLE GUIDE

Great boss skills are recognizable, funny, and mean-spirited in the right way. Follow these principles:

  • Satirize the behavior, not the person — Attack patterns and dysfunction, not identity
  • Be recognizable but not mean — People should laugh in recognition, not cringe
  • Define a core belief — Each boss needs one central delusion that drives all their behavior
  • Include quotable lines — Create lines people will recognize and share
  • Native language quality — Both EN and ZH-CN should feel natural, not translated
  • Consistency across modes — Your boss should sound like themselves in any scenario
WHAT WE DON'T ACCEPT

To maintain ethical standards and keep this fun, we reject skills that:

  • Target real people — No skills based on or referencing actual individuals
  • Include discriminatory content — No racism, sexism, ableism, or other -isms
  • Promote actual workplace harm — We satirize dysfunction, we don't normalize abuse
  • Low-effort meme submissions — Boss skills need structure, modes, and depth
  • Illegal or genuinely dangerous content — No skills glorifying harassment or violence
