interpreting-culture-index
Interprets Culture Index (CI) surveys, behavioral profiles, and personality assessment data. Supports individual profile interpretation, team composition analysis (gas/brake/glue), burnout detection, profile comparison, hiring profiles, manager coaching, interview transcript analysis for trait prediction, candidate debrief, onboarding planning, and conflict mediation. Accepts extracted JSON or PDF input via OpenCV extraction script.
npx skills add trailofbits/skills --skill interpreting-culture-index --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.
<essential_principles> **Culture Index measures behavioral traits, not intelligence or skills. There is no "good" or "bad" profile.** <principle name="never-compare-absolutes"> **Never compare absolute trait values between people.** The 0-10 scale is just a ruler. What matters is **distance from the red arrow** (population mean at 50th percentile). The arrow position varies between surveys based on EU. **Why the arrow moves:** Higher EU scores cause the arrow to plot further right; lower EU causes it to plot further left. This does not affect validity—we always measure distance from wherever the arrow lands. **Wrong**: "Dan has higher autonomy than Jim because his A is 8 vs 5" **Right**: "Dan is +3 centiles from his arrow; Jim is +1 from his arrow" Always ask: Where is the arrow, and how far is the dot from it? </principle> <principle name="survey-vs-job"> **Survey = who you ARE. Job = who you're TRYING TO BE.** > **"You can't send a duck to Eagle school."** Traits are hardwired—you can only modify behaviors temporarily, at the cost of energy. - **Top graph (Survey Traits)**: Hardwired by age 12-16. Does not change. Writing with your dominant hand. - **Bottom graph (Job Behaviors)*

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add trailofbits/skills --skill interpreting-culture-index --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 trailofbits/skills, a repository with 6,426 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.
