Publish 'how to work with me' as a literal API spec — endpoints (what to ask me for and what you'll get back), rate limits (meeting and interrupt tolerance), error codes (what happens when you surprise me Friday 5pm), auth (how to earn trust), and a changelog. Use when onboarding to a new team, when a new manager or report arrives, for a team working-styles session, or 'write my README/user manual'. Produces a personal API spec that's genuinely funny and secretly the best onboarding doc on the team.

# API For Yourself Skill

"User manual for me" documents have existed for years and mostly read like
horoscopes ("I value transparency"). The API-spec format fixes them by force:
an endpoint must say what you send and what comes back; a rate limit must be a
number; an error code must name the actual failure behaviour. The joke is the
format — the payload is real self-knowledge, and the test of every line is
*would a new teammate behave differently after reading it?* Deadpan technical
voice, honest contents, one page.

## What This Skill Produces
