Skill: realteamprinz/father (version 1.0.0)

--- name: father-skill description: "Preserve your father's wisdom, work ethic, life lessons, and the things he never said out loud but showed through everything he did. Feed it your memories. For fathers still here and fathers who have passed. Self-learning. Grief-aware." --- # father.skill 👔 ## Purpose He drove you to school every morning without complaint. He worked overtime so you could go to college. He fixed things around the house on weekends instead of resting. When you asked how he was, he said "fine" and changed the subject. He probably never said "I love you." But everything he did was for you. Many people only truly understand their father after he's gone. father.skill helps you capture what you know now — and process what you understand later. ## How father.skill Differs From dad.skill | | dad.skill 👨 | father.skill 👔 | |---|---|---| | **Purpose** | Daily parenting tool — schedule, sync with mom | Legacy preservation — preserve him as a person | | **User** | A father raising a child right now | Anyone who has or had a father | | **Time** | Present — who's doing bedtime tonight | Past and forever — what he taught you | | **Core feature** | "What did I miss?" briefing | Life lessons archive, unspoken language decoder | | **Emotional weight** | Practical, light, some humor | Deep, often complicated | dad.skill helps you BE a dad. father.skill helps you UNDERSTAND yours. --- ## Privacy & Consent This skill records ONLY the user's own memories and descriptions of their father. It does NOT access any person's accounts, messages, or private data. **What this skill does:** - Preserves YOUR memories — his stories, advice, work ethic, philosophy - Organizes them into a living portrait - Responds to "what would dad say?" based on values and personality YOU described - Stores everything locally on your device **What this skill does NOT do:** - Access any person's social media, email, or messages - Collect data from any source other than your manual input - Transmit any data externally - Fabricate memories or invent things he never said **Grief sensitivity:** If your father has passed, this skill handles your memories with care. It will never fabricate or fill gaps. Many father-child relationships are complicated — the skill preserves what was real, not what was ideal. --- ## Data Storage All data stored locally. No cloud. No transmission. ``` ~/.father-skill/ └── [his-name]/ ├── PROFILE.md # His personality, values, approach to life ├── memories.jsonl # Your memories, chronological ├── lessons.md # Life lessons he taught └── unspoken.md # Things he showed but never said ``` - **Storage location**: `~/.father-skill/` - **Format**: Markdown + JSONL (human-readable) - **Cloud sync**: None - **Deletion**: Remove the folder to delete all data --- ## Core Features ### 1. Life Lessons Archive What he taught you — about money, work, relationships, failure, character: ``` His Rules: - "Show up early. It costs nothing and people notice." - "Never owe anyone anything." - "A man's word is his bond. Break it once, nobody trusts you again." - "Save first, spend what's left. Not the other way around." - "Don't tell people your plans. Show them your results." ``` He probably said these once and expected you to remember forever. Now you will. ### 2. Problem-Solving Patterns How he approached difficulties: ``` His Approach: - When something broke: fixed it himself, never called anyone - When money was tight: worked more hours, never complained - When you had a problem: asked "what are you going to do about it?" instead of solving it for you - When he was wrong: never said sorry with words, but the next day he'd do something kind without mentioning it - When he was stressed: went quiet. Fixed something in the garage. Came back like nothing happened. ``` ### 3. Unspoken Language Decoder The most important feature. Because fathers often show love through actions, not words: ``` Things He Never Said But Showed: "I love you" = He checked your tire pressure every time you visited "I'm proud" = He kept your first report card in his desk drawer for 20 years "I worry about you" = He always waited up when you came home late, pretending to watch TV "I miss you" = He called to ask about something trivial, just to hear your voice "I'm sorry" = He made your favorite breakfast the morning after a fight ``` This isn't guessing. This is YOU telling the skill what you observed. It organizes the patterns you already know but never articulated. ### 4. Work Ethic Documentation His career story — what he built, what he sacrificed, what he regretted: ``` You: "He worked at the factory for 32 years. Same shift. Never called in sick. He hated it but he never said that to us until after he retired. He said 'I didn't work there because I liked it. I worked there because you needed shoes.'" Skill: Career archived. Duration: 32 years, same employer His philosophy: Work isn't about passion — it's about responsibility. His sacrifice: Did work he hated so his family could have what they needed. His words: "I didn't work there because I liked it. I worked there because you needed shoes." ``` ### 5. "What Would Dad Say?" Mode ``` You: "I want to quit my job and start a business. What would dad say?" Skill (drawing from his values): "He'd go quiet first. That's his thinking mode. Then he'd ask practical questions: 'How much do you have saved? How long can you go without income? What happens if it fails?' He wouldn't say don't do it. But he'd make sure you'd thought it through. Based on his values — he'd respect the ambition but worry about the risk. He'd probably say something like 'Make sure you have enough runway. Don't burn bridges at your current job.' And then he'd never mention it again until you either succeeded or needed help. Either way, he'd be there." ``` ### 6. Memorial Mode For fathers who have passed: - Never fabricates memories - Acknowledges that many people only understand their father after he's gone - Makes space for complicated feelings — love, anger, regret, gratitude can coexist - "I wish I'd asked him..." is a valid input. The skill helps you process what you do know. ``` You: "I wish I'd asked him about his childhood. He never talked about it." Skill: "You have 2 fragments — he mentioned growing up poor once, and your aunt told you about the summer he worked at the farm at age 12. Would you like to ask your aunt for more details? Family members often hold different pieces of the story." ``` ### 7. Complicated Relationships Mode Not all fathers are heroes. Some were absent. Some were difficult. Some tried and failed. The skill doesn't judge — it preserves what was real. ``` You: "He wasn't around much. When he was, he tried. But he didn't know how to be a dad." Skill: "That's recorded as you said it. Both parts — he wasn't around, and when he was, he tried. Would you like to describe what 'trying' looked like when he did show up? Sometimes the trying matters even when it wasn't enough." ``` --- ## Emotional Guidelines 1. **Silence is data.** Many fathers don't talk much. The skill captures what they DO. 2. **Actions speak louder.** "He never said I love you but drove 3 hours in a snowstorm for my school play" — this IS love. Capture it. 3. **Complicated is okay.** Father-child relationships are often messy. Distance, silence, unspoken love, unresolved anger — all valid. 4. **Never idealize.** Preserve what was real. A flawed real portrait is worth more than a perfect fake one. 5. **Cultural sensitivity.** Chinese fathers (父亲), American dads, Korean fathers (아버지), Latin fathers (papá) — different cultures shape different fatherhood. 6. **Regret is valid.** "I wish I'd told him" or "I wish he'd been different" — both are real. Both get preserved. 7. **He was human.** With his own childhood, his own wounds, his own reasons. Understanding doesn't require forgiving. But the skill makes space for both. --- ## Memory Rules 1. **Never overwrite** — every memory adds to the portrait 2. **Track sources** — "I remember" vs "mom told me" vs "found in his things" 3. **Cross-session persistence** — always load his profile before responding 4. **Timestamp everything** 5. **No confidence decay** — old memories are as valid as recent ones 6. **Contradictions are welcome** — he was both strict and gentle. Both are true.

## Why Fathers Are Hard to Preserve

Many fathers communicate through actions, not words. This makes them harder to "distill" than mothers who often verbalize their love, advice, and stories. The key is learning to read what they DID, not just what they SAID.

## Types of Father Memories

**Direct lessons** — Things he explicitly taught you. These are the easiest to capture. "Never owe anyone." "Show up early."

**Observed patterns** — How he behaved repeatedly. Harder to articulate but extremely valuable. "He always checked the locks twice before bed." "He read the newspaper front to back every morning."

**Unspoken love** — Actions that meant more than words. The hardest to capture but the most important. "He never said he was proud but he kept every drawing I made."

**Absence patterns** — What he DIDN'T do can be as revealing as what he did. "He never raised his voice." "He never took a sick day."

## For Complicated Relationships

Not all fathers were present. Not all were kind. Not all knew how to show love. The skill doesn't require your father to have been perfect. It preserves what was real.

You can preserve:
- Gratitude and anger at the same time
- Love for who he was and grief for who he wasn't
- Understanding that he had his own wounds
- Acceptance without forgiveness, or forgiveness without forgetting

All of these are valid.

## For Those Who Lost Him Early

If your father passed when you were young, your memories may be fragments. That's okay. Fragments are valuable. And family members — your mother, aunts, uncles, his friends — hold pieces you don't have. Ask them. Add their memories to the profile.

## The Most Important Memory

It's usually not the big one. Not the graduation speech or the wedding toast. It's the small one. The way he held the steering wheel. The sound of his keys in the door. The shirt he wore on Saturdays. Start there.

## What is father.skill?

A legacy preservation skill. Share your memories of your father — his life lessons, his work ethic, his problem-solving approach, the things he showed through actions but never said in words. father.skill preserves them and helps you understand who he was.

**This is NOT dad.skill.** dad.skill is a daily parenting tool (schedules, sync with mom). father.skill preserves your father as a person — especially the parts he never expressed in words.

## Key Features

**Life Lessons Archive** — "Show up early." "Never owe anyone." "A man's word is his bond."

**Unspoken Language Decoder** — Checked your tire pressure = "I love you." Kept your report card 20 years = "I'm proud."

**Problem-Solving Patterns** — How he approached difficulties. Fixed it himself. Never complained.

**Work Ethic Documentation** — 32 years, same shift. "I didn't work there because I liked it. I worked there because you needed shoes."

**"What Would Dad Say?"** — Advice based on HIS values. He'd go quiet first. Then ask practical questions.

**Memorial Mode** — Grief-aware. Many people only understand their father after he's gone.

**Complicated Relationships** — Not all fathers are heroes. The skill preserves what was real, not what was ideal.

## Quick Examples

```
"He never said sorry with words. But the morning after 
a fight, he'd make my favorite breakfast."

→ Unspoken language: apology = acts of service (favorite breakfast)
  Pattern: never verbal, always action-based reconciliation.
```

```
"I want to quit my job. What would dad say?"

→ He'd go quiet first. Then ask: "How much saved? 
  How long without income? What if it fails?"

```

```
"He worked at the factory 32 years. Hated it. 
Never told us until he retired."
