wgm
Turns a rough request into working software via a governed build loop: align first, plan, then iterate one task at a time with deterministic backpressure and holdout-scenario judging.

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.
# wgm ## Overview wgm ("well, gosh... make") is a portable build **methodology**, not a domain skill — a single `SKILL.md` protocol that any agentskills.io-compatible host loads to turn a rough request into working software. It marries three ideas: a relentless alignment interview before any code is written, a Ralph-style loop (one task per iteration, a persistent plan as shared state, steered by deterministic backpressure), and holdout-scenario LLM judging (scenarios the build never sees, so a high satisfaction score can't be gamed). It also runs its own internal docs-audit and self-improvement loop, cross-pollinating durable lessons from sibling agent-coding projects back into its own protocol. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when building or implementing a feature, app, or prototype from rough or ambiguous intent. - Use when a task benefits from a governed plan plus iterative, test-validated execution rather than one-shot generation. - Use when you want a build to converge against acceptance criteria an LLM judge scores blind (0-100), instead of trusting a single self-reported "looks good." - Not for trivial one-file edits, pure debugging, research-only questions, or tasks that

What does the wgm skill do?
Turns a rough request into working software via a governed build loop: align first, plan, then iterate one task at a time with deterministic backpressure and holdout-scenario judging.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill wgm --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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
