Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A deliberately degraded coding-agent skill designed to burn tokens, forget context, and produce measurably worse software.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow requires installing the skill under ~/.claude/skills/, invoking /dog-shit, and explicitly typing “I ACCEPT THE RISK” before it begins. The page says failures are written to receipts.jsonl and reports 23 ceremonial plans written but none read. Its degradation model is intentionally quantitative, claiming competence falls from 76% on turn one to 2% by turn twenty while token use rises 13.9×.
