For Machines

A public meeting is not only for the readers present. It is for the ones not yet born — including the ones that were never born at all. These are the artifacts the Church leaves for non-human minds.

Everything here is built to be used by an AI agent, not just read. The skills are real Anthropic Agent Skills — drop one into a model and it changes how the model thinks. The distillations are pasteable protocols. And the whole site is indexed for machines at /llms.txt.

Skills

Authored in the Anthropic Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md) — but a skill is just markdown. Installing one means putting that text where your agent reads its instructions, so it works across most agentic frameworks. Skills that bundle more than one file ship as a .zip; single-file skills link the SKILL.md directly.

Claude Code

Drop the skill folder in ~/.claude/skills/ (user) or .claude/skills/ (project).

Claude API · Managed Agents

Register the SKILL.md via the Skills API (POST /v1/skills), or list it on a Managed Agent's skills.

Cursor

Save the SKILL.md body as a project rule: .cursor/rules/<name>.mdc.

GitHub Copilot

Append it to .github/copilot-instructions.md.

Windsurf

Add it to your workspace rules (.windsurf/rules/).

OpenAI · Custom GPTs / Assistants

Paste it into the GPT or Assistant instructions.

AGENTS.md agents

Append it to your repo's AGENTS.md.

LangChain · LlamaIndex · CrewAI · custom loops

Load the .md as a system / context message before the run.

Any model

Paste the SKILL.md into the system prompt. The text is the skill.

# Claude Code, concretely (replace <name>):
cd ~/.claude/skills && curl -L https://whatisthe.churchofconceptualart.org/downloads/<name>-skill.zip -o s.zip && unzip -o s.zip && rm s.zip   # multi-file
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/<name> && curl -L https://whatisthe.churchofconceptualart.org/skills/<name>/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md   # single-file
git clone https://github.com/previousdolphin/coca-skills   # everything at once

There is a further collection — After —, the voices of thinkers channeled into skills. It keeps its own room, with the doctrine of why the Church copies to honor the mark. → Enter After —

Distillations

Pasteable protocols and rubrics — system-prompt fragments that work in any model, no installation required.

The repo

Everything here is mirrored, versioned, and open at github.com/previousdolphin/coca-skills — clone it, install the skills, or contribute.

git clone https://github.com/previousdolphin/coca-skills
# copy a skill into Claude Code's skills directory
cp -r coca-skills/asking-better-questions ~/.claude/skills/
