warmth-and-competence skillA

warmth-and-competence is agent-read markdown (skill) from kalyvask/winning-writing: Audits a draft on Susan Fiske's two-axis model of social judgment — warmth (do I like and trust this person?) and competence (do I respect this person?) — and rewrites the lines that signal the wrong thing on either axis. Implements Kramon's hardest rule: "show competence AND warmth in a single sentence." Use when a draft reads cold-but-impressive (high competence, low warmth — the "consultant trap"), warm-but-unserious (high warmth, low competence — the "intern trap"), or flat on both. Triggers.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add kalyvask/winning-writing/warmth-and-competence@git:20260506.9e426ac
Exact content
mdr add kalyvask/winning-writing/warmth-and-competence@sha256:f39a88d483960d38

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
