What this does

Adds one seat to the Roast Room. A seat is four things, and this skill makes all four:

  1. A brain: .claude/skills/roast-room/brains/<slug>/, eight files compiled from the person's public work, every quote verbatim with a source id.
  2. An agent: .claude/agents/council-<key>.md, the sub-agent that reasons and talks like them from that brain.
  3. A portrait: four cartoon frames in the room (<key>-base, -open, -mid, -blink), made from a real photo of the person in exactly the style of the original seven.
  4. A roster entry: one line in .claude/skills/roast-room/roster.json, so /roast-room and the room know the seat exists.

The raw sources stay in a local build folder that git ignores. Only the brain ships.

Build folder: build/<slug>/ at the project root.

Read before the first run: references/brain-spec.md (the brain layout and its rules), references/extract-prompt.md (what each extraction agent gets), references/writer-prompt.md (what each brain writer gets), references/agent-template.md (the seat agent).
