Individual skill
the-time-capsule
Write a sealed memo to your future self or successor — the honest state of things, falsifiable predictions with confidence levels, and the advice you suspect they'll need — with an open-on date and a scoring ritual for when it's opened. Use when leaving a role, finishing a big project, at year-end or planning season, before a leave, or 'write a letter to my successor'. Produces the sealed capsule, its prediction ledger, and the opening-day ritual.

# The Time Capsule Skill
Handover docs describe systems; nobody writes down the thing successors
actually need — *what you believed and how sure you were*. A time capsule is a
memo with a seal date and an open date: the honest state of things, named
predictions with confidence levels, the advice you'd whisper across time — and
a scoring ritual, because a prediction you never score is just a mood. It's
calibration infrastructure wearing an emotionally sticky costume, and it works
on future-you exactly as well as on a successor.
## What This Skill Produces
- The **capsule memo**: honest state, the things-nobody-writes-down (fragile
truces, bodies buried, bets in flight), and advice offered with humility
