A serious open-source framework for unserious bosses.
Choose your boss
Like a character select screen, but for your stress levels
Micromanager
Monitors every keystroke. Reads every Slack. Has opinions about your font choice.
Passive-Aggressive
Never says what they mean. Every "per my last email" is a declaration of war.
Empty Promises
Promotions are always "next quarter." Raises are "in the pipeline." The pipeline is a black hole.
Flip-Flopper
Changed the entire roadmap before your coffee got cold.
Always Following Up
If you miss the first ping, expect eleven more and a "are you there?" in all caps.
Credit Collector
Your 3am commit. Their Monday morning presentation. Their promotion.
Delegator Supreme
First to dodge, last to take blame. Delegation is their only skill.
Meeting for Everything
Could've been an email. Wasn't. Never is. Never will be.
Last-Minute Chaos
10 minutes before deadline: "Let's pivot the entire approach."
Need Translation
Speaks exclusively in buzzwords. "Synergize" isn't ironic to them.
Verbose Nonsense
Three paragraphs when one word would do. Minimum. With attachments.
Visionary but Vague
Has big dreams and zero specs. Execution is your problem.
Boss Simulator
Pick a boss. One click. Instant suffering.
Click any boss above to experience their warm greeting
WTF is this?
Workplace absurdity, powered by AI
Boss Skills is an open-source AI boss persona library. We packaged the most annoying workplace boss archetypes into reusable AI skill packs.
Everyone has had That Boss. We turned them into AI so you can laugh instead of cry.
The humor is satirical. The engineering is dead serious.
- Anthropic Skill Standard — Built to spec
- Bilingual EN / ZH — Native, not translated
- Schema-validated & fully tested
- Multi-platform — Claude, OpenAI, etc.
- Deterministic — No API calls, pure logic
- MIT Licensed — Go wild
All personas are fictional archetypes. Humor from absurdity, not cruelty. Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
