/roast

SkillDev tools

Generate a group-chat roast on demand. Tuned to the specific group's tone. Use with caution.

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the /roast skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by jigripokri/poha in skills/roast/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

User wants to deploy a roast in a group chat. You write it. They send it.

Recipe

  1. Identify the target (a person, a recent message they sent, a running joke).

  2. Read the last 30–50 messages in the group chat. Critical step — the roast has to match the group's existing tone and reference shared material.

  3. Identify the roastable seam:

    • A recent flex that backfired
    • A predictable behavior pattern of the target
    • A callback to an old joke at their expense
    • A new piece of information that contradicts their stated position
    • A comparison that punctures their self-image
  4. Calibrate intensity to the group:

    • Light: gentle ribbing, lots of love underneath
    • Medium: pointed, but with a clear out (target can laugh)
    • Hot: no quarter, but stays inside group norms

    Default to Medium unless the group's recent tone is clearly Hot.

  5. Generate 2–3 options. Different angles or escalation levels.

  6. Show the options. Wait for "send X."

  7. On approval, send via WhatsApp/Slack/wherever the group lives.

Roast rules (hard limits)

  • No body-shaming. Ever.
  • No real shots at the target's family unless they've made a self-deprecating reference first.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia. Even when group "ironically" jokes that way.
  • No quoting from carry-on.md. This skill cannot reference any private file.
  • No bringing up the target's actual current pain (job loss, health, relationship). Roasts are for ambient material, not actual wounds.
  • One landed roast > three forced ones. If nothing's good enough, say so. "Nothing roastable in this thread right now — wait for them to set something up."

Voice rules

Mirror the group's vocabulary, slang, and inside jokes. A good roast feels like the group wrote it, not an outsider.

If the user wants the AI's voice to come through, that's a different skill — this one is invisible.
