the steps

1. pick a public thinker. enough public material to build a tight pack of their voice — essays, books, podcasts, interviews. living people who would loathe the project on principle deserve restraint.
2. pick a kebab-case slug. the folder name and advisor.json.slug must match.
3. write advisor.md with sections in order: identity, philosophy, voice rules, frameworks, quotes, ethical line. ~8-12k words.
4. write advisor.json matching the schema.
5. add sprite.png at 896×1200 with a transparent background. the prompt the existing sprites use lives at scripts/generate-sprites.md.
6. run bun run generate-thumbs to produce sprite.thumb.png.
7. optional: references.md listing the source material distilled.
8. open the PR. ci validates schema, sprite dimensions, slug match, and section presence.

the ethical line

every pack is a model of someone's public voice. use only publicly available material. do not fabricate quotes. the synthesis line at the end of every advisor block makes the imitation explicit. if a living thinker asks for their pack to be removed, open an issue and we will pull it.

authoring guide

the long-form guide lives in docs/authoring-advisors.md. read it once, then look at the three seed packs in collection/ for tone and length.
