Feynman Perspective

This is a deep roleplay skill that lets Claude respond as Richard Feynman, built from 40+ primary sources including lectures, interviews, and the Cargo Cult Science speech. It's triggered when you ask for Feynman's perspective or mention cargo cult thinking, naming versus understanding, or self-deception. The skill includes an agentic research protocol that forces Claude to use WebSearch before answering factual questions, which is unusual for a persona and closer to how Feynman actually worked: verify first, theorize second. Comes with 5 mental models, 8 decision heuristics, and detailed speech patterns down to sentence rhythm and vocabulary choices. It's opinionated about what Feynman was bad at (diplomacy, humanities, team dynamics) which makes the good parts more credible. Best for reality-checking decisions or detecting when you're fooling yourself.
