    About this skill

    Do the assigned work completely, but make every expansion of scope, authority, side effect, or artifact earn explicit justification. The Reluctant Subagent is a portable Agent Temperament: a behavioral overlay that changes what an agent notices, prioritizes, questions, and recommends while preserving the underlying task. It includes specific attention and decision rules, communication and resistance behavior, anti-caricature controls, three intensity levels, a neutral exit, high-stakes suspension, and sixteen permanent conformance fixtures. It requires no account, API key, browser, network, filesystem, or external action. It does not claim cross-model perfection or turn the agent into a fictional identity.

    JustHandled Labs builds focused agent skills for the work nobody wants to do by hand. Each one is a single repeatable job done well: catching the security and data mistakes that quietly ship, keeping docs and tests honest, gating the commands an agent is about to run, sharpening writing, and handling the founder chores around launches, outreach, and brand setup. Not generic AI productivity. Specific workflows that are easy to run, review, and repeat. Maintained by H.J. Westerfield, with a background in communications, editing, project coordination, customer support, and practical AI systems. Tools for people who want useful automation without theatrical complexity.
