git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai.git
cp -r gentle-ai/internal/assets/skills/systemic-issue-triage ~/.claude/skills/systemic-issue-triage   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

In the Claude apps, zip the systemic-issue-triage folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai.git
cp -r gentle-ai/internal/assets/skills/systemic-issue-triage .agents/skills/systemic-issue-triage   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

What this skill does

Trigger: new issue, bug report, triage, backlog, issue flood, community report, root cause, dead-end, blocked user. Attack issues by root class, never one-by-one; fixes must shrink the system, not grow it. Use when triaging incoming issues, planning fixes for a backlog, or deciding how to respond to any bug report. The failure mode this skill exists to prevent: fixing symptoms one-by-one until the system becomes over-engineered machinery that grows exponentially and nobody can maintain.
