Summary
Kakuna is a skill that hardens codebases by automating boring tasks, making production-ready commits with audit trails, and encoding opinions on designing apps for both human and agent access, focusing on subagent parallelism and the 'mullet factory' approach.

Kakuna: skills with checklists that only know how to harden your codebase
/plan with it then let it /goal for a day, it comes back with same functionality but all the boring stuff done for you + an audit of its own work.
focus on subagent parallelism and encodes strong opinions on how AI engineers should design apps for human and agent access/devops/product mgmt.
instead of dark factory, go “mullet factory” - party in front (ship unique lovable features), dark in the back (timeless production principles). basically its the antientropy/antislop part of symphony broken out as its own thing
not gonna go psychosis further than this but extend as you will. link below
swyx (@swyx): working on a “take this vibecoded slop app and make it a production-ready, e2e tested, maintainable, parallelizable agent repo” skill.
this thing ran for ~16 hours yesterday and made 103 commits all told and i ended up with exactly the same app but instead of fragile mvp it
