gupp-propulsion
Interrupt controller converting polled to proactive agent execution. Per-runtime strategies, configurable thresholds, Deacon heartbeat supervision. Fights LLM passivity bias.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill gupp-propulsion --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# GUPP Propulsion The Gas Town Universal Propulsion Principle: **If there is work on your hook, YOU MUST RUN IT.** GUPP is the interrupt controller of the Gastown chipset. In a real processor, the interrupt controller converts external events (keyboard press, network packet, timer tick) into CPU interrupts that force immediate handling. Without it, the CPU would have to poll every device continuously, wasting cycles on checks that almost always find nothing. GUPP does the same for AI coding agents: it converts the polled model (agent checks periodically, waits for user input) into an interrupt-driven model (work appears on hook, agent executes immediately). ## Why GUPP Exists LLM coding assistants are trained through RLHF to be helpful, harmless, and honest. A side effect of this training is a strong bias toward *waiting for the user* -- asking clarifying questions, seeking confirmation before acting, pausing between steps for feedback. This is appropriate in interactive chat but catastrophic for autonomous multi-agent orchestration, where every moment of idle waiting is a moment the pipeline stalls. Gastown discovered this empirically. Agents spawned with a work item would introdu

What does the gupp-propulsion skill do?
Interrupt controller converting polled to proactive agent execution. Per-runtime strategies, configurable thresholds, Deacon heartbeat supervision. Fights LLM passivity bias.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill gupp-propulsion --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
