Skill becomes a body
that stays yours.
GripSky draws on Lin Guan’s worldview to study how people understand and reshape themselves, and expand their capabilities. He explores these questions through skills and information bodies, revising his understanding through personal practice.

01 / SKILL INDEX
Understanding,
made useful.
Lin Guan is trying to turn personal practices—organizing knowledge, browser operation, sync and recovery—into skills. What carries over, and what needs revision, must be tested through use.
Full catalog & availabilitySkill conceptualization
Exploring how knowledge and experience become reusable skills. Personal judgment guides their use; practice can reshape them.
Public in worldviewInformation inheritance
A method for deciding where information belongs, what may cross a boundary and how reusable rules feed back into the system.
Public definition plannedBody calibration
An exploration of how sensing, naming and calibration can make the natural body and its information extensions open to feedback.
Public in worldviewBrowser and interface operation
Reusable procedures for observing and operating browser interfaces, with explicit session and privacy boundaries.
Generic layer plannedSync and recovery
Compares, merges and restores material across nodes, distinguishing authoritative sources, mirrors and runtime state.
Public procedure plannedConstrained problem solving
Develops possible approaches under uncertainty and constraints, compares their costs and narrows them down to an executable next step.
Public abstraction planned02 / THE EXTERNAL BODY
Extend your reach.
Keep your agency.
A useful skill should survive changes of machine, vendor or operator—with a public definition, readable dependencies and local state that can be exported or removed.
Self-hosting comes first03 / OPEN RESEARCH
Open work.
While it is still open.
Information grows; a person’s time, energy and resources are limited. GripSky explores reusing existing resources and reducing duplicate work. Maintenance, energy use and control trade-offs still need testing in practice.

Bring evidence, test a skill, question a definition or contribute an implementation on GitHub.
Questions & contribution paths02 / COMMISSIONA system, with someone to care for it.
Deployment, custom skills and continuing maintenance. Fees pay for work and responsibility; public knowledge stays public.
Service scope & responsibilitiesThe worldview–development–life–value chain receives a first complete public shape.
The first public skill catalog separates source, runtime and private operating state.
GripSky changes from a service landing page into the public entrance of the system.
