Dan Guido 5c15f4f564 Add archetype deep profiles to culture-index skill (#126)
* Add 17 archetype deep profile references to culture-index skill

Convert Culture Index archetype PDFs into structured markdown reference
files with consistent format: core traits, strengths, challenges,
management approach, risk profile, FlashPoints, variations, and summary.

Add Influencer to the archetype summary table in patterns-archetypes.md
and register all archetype files in the SKILL.md reference index.

Culture Index

Interprets Culture Index survey results for individuals and teams.

Author: Dan Guido

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Interpret an individual's Culture Index profile
  • Analyze team composition for gas/brake/glue balance
  • Detect burnout signals by comparing Survey vs Job traits
  • Compare multiple profiles for compatibility
  • Get motivator recommendations for specific trait types

What It Does

This skill provides expert interpretation of Culture Index behavioral assessments:

  • Relative Interpretation - Always uses distance from arrow, never absolute values
  • Survey vs Job Analysis - Identifies behavior modification and energy drain
  • Pattern Recognition - Maps profiles to 19 archetypes
  • Team Analysis - Assesses gas/brake/glue balance and gaps
  • Burnout Detection - Calculates energy utilization and flags risk

Installation

/plugin install trailofbits/skills/plugins/culture-index

Key Concepts

Trait Colors

Trait Color Measures
A Maroon Autonomy, initiative
B Yellow Social ability
C Blue Pace/Patience
D Green Conformity, detail
L Purple Logic
I Cyan Ingenuity

Energy Utilization

Utilization = (Job EU / Survey EU) x 100

70-130% = Healthy
>130% = STRESS (burnout risk)
<70% = FRUSTRATION (flight risk)

Gas/Brake/Glue Framework

Role Trait Function
Gas High A Growth, risk-taking
Brake High D Quality control
Glue High B Relationships, morale
