Karpathy guidelines (pointer)

Coco does not ship this skill because the upstream has no licence file, so this file only points to the original.

Install from upstream

Review the upstream repository before you run its installer; Coco does not vet or pin it.

The lines below are Claude Code slash commands, not shell commands.

Coco will not reproduce the upstream text. If you are the author and want this link removed or changed, see docs/personas/TAKEDOWN.md.
