Pattern: a wave of skills whose entire job is to distrust the coding agent

Three repos created in the last four days do nothing but disbelieve the agent. LeonardLeroy/i-dont-believe-you (created 2026-09-15) is "a skill to stop your coding agent from telling you it works when the diff says otherwise." coldteadotai/abide (created 2026-09-18, 105 stars) exists to make a coding agent abide by project rules it already has. kunchenguid/compact-adviser (created 2026-09-17, 104 stars) fires on the specific failure of an agent declaring work done and never compacting. The shape is consistent: the skill is a verifier bolted to the outside of the agent because the agent's self-report is the untrusted input.
