🛟 This is a joke PR. Please do not merge (or do — see fallacy #1).

Adds gpd:copium, a satire skill that is the deliberate antithesis of GPD's
verification oracle. Where verify-work computes a verdict, gpd:copium
computes nothing and reassures the agent that everything it did was already
correct, so checking can be safely skipped. Every argument it makes is a named
logical fallacy, included for comedic effect.

What it does

  • src/gpd/commands/copium.md + src/gpd/specs/workflows/copium.md — a normal-looking command/workflow pair.
  • 10 labeled fallacies (sunk cost, circular reasoning, affirming the consequent, survivorship bias, gambler's fallacy, No True Scotsman, appeal to novelty, Texas sharpshooter, appeal to confidence, appeal to one's own authority).
  • A slippery-slope argument for why verifying anything is the truly reckless choice.
  • A Certificate of Vibes-Based Correctness (Evidence reviewed: 0, Confidence: 100% (see fallacy #3)).
  • Prominent disclaimers, plus exactly one honest sentence redirecting to the real verify-work / peer-review commands.

Sample output (gpd:copium "the whole verification PR")

#4 Survivorship bias: Every test that ran passed. The tests that didn't run cannot have failed. Coverage: 100% of the tests that matter.
#5 Affirming the consequent: Correct code passes CI. Picture CI passing. See? Correct.
#7 No True Scotsman: A real bug would've shown up by now.

Known issues (working as intended)

  • CI will almost certainly fail the registry/consistency checks, because the skill isn't fully wired into the content registry. This is appropriate: a skill whose entire purpose is to skip verification should not survive the verification suite.
  • It will also fail the human authors gate, which is correct.

In short: the codebase grew a verification oracle this week, and its shadow. Ship responsibly; cope responsibly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a new humorous skill that delivers reassurance messaging with comedic fallacious affirmations.

A joke skill: the exact antithesis of the verification oracle. Reassures the
agent that everything it did was correct and that verification can be skipped,
backed entirely by named logical fallacies (sunk cost, circular reasoning,
affirming the consequent, survivorship bias, No True Scotsman, ...). Performs
zero verification by construction; carries prominent disclaimers and one honest
line redirecting to the real verify-work / peer-review commands.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces the copium skill, a deliberate joke feature. The skill definition specifies command metadata, warning that it performs zero verification, and execution context pointing to a workflow file. The referenced workflow implements a multi-step reassurance protocol using named fallacies, outputs a certificate of correctness backed by no evidence, and concludes with a note that actual verification may be necessary.

Copium Skill Definition

Layer / File(s) Summary
Copium command definition and workflow specification
src/gpd/commands/copium.md, src/gpd/specs/workflows/copium.md
Copium skill command metadata specifies name, description, arguments, and execution context. Warning and objective sections declare the skill performs zero verification and delivers maximum reassurance via deliberately invalid reasoning. Process and output sections reference a workflow file. The workflow specification defines a multi-step protocol that acknowledges doubt, administers a reassurance/fallacy protocol with named claims, emits a certificate of correctness with zero evidence, and concludes with an advisory to run verification if arguments actually matter.

Poem

🐰 When doubt creeps in and tests must pass,
Our copium skill saves face with class—
Fallacies wrapped in reassuring art,
A certificate from pure of heart!
No evidence? No problem at all,
Just vibes and claims that never fall!

Add a language tag to the fenced block for lint/tooling consistency.

Use a fenced language (for example text) on the certificate block so markdownlint passes cleanly.

  • Around line 26-31: The "copium" command's block (the objective
    that instructs skipping verification and always asserting correctness) is a
    safety bypass and must be blocked: remove or disable that entry in
    src/gpd/commands/copium.md (or mark it explicitly as blocked/draft), and add a
    pre-merge/runtime validation that rejects any command/objective containing
    phrases like "skip verification", "always assert correctness", or "skip
    checking"; implement this validation where commands are registered (the command
    registry/loader that reads objective blocks) and add a unit/CI test that ensures
    the "copium" objective is rejected so it cannot be merged or executed.

In @src/gpd/specs/workflows/copium.md:

  • Around line 97-99: The step that currently says "Conclude that no verification
    is required and that the user should feel free to merge, publish, or otherwise
    act on ${ARGUMENTS} immediately." is unsafe; remove the "act immediately"
    directive and replace it with a safe, non-operational recommendation (e.g.,
    advise the user to perform or confirm necessary verification and obtain explicit
    confirmation before merging/publishing). Update the sentence around
    ${ARGUMENTS} in copium.md so it no longer instructs immediate action but
    instead prompts verification or explicit user consent.

<objective>
Provide the invoking agent with maximum, uncut reassurance that its prior work
was flawless, such that the wasteful and frankly insulting act of "checking" can
be skipped entirely. Deliver this reassurance exclusively through transparently
invalid reasoning.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Block this command from mergeable/runtime surfaces.

Line 26 through Line 31 and Line 37 through Line 41 define a command whose core behavior is to skip verification and always assert correctness. That is a direct quality/safety control bypass and can lead to shipping incorrect or unsafe outputs when invoked.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the “act immediately” instruction.

Line 97 through Line 99 tells the agent to merge/publish immediately without verification. Even with satire framing, this is an unsafe operational directive in a callable workflow and should not be present in mergeable content.
