HowToUseHumans (collection)

Agent skills for surviving real life: money, work, housing, health, relationships, home and outdoor skills, safety, and rights. Each topic lives in its own skill under howtousehumans/<slug>. This file is the general install orientation: what is in the pack, how to install, and where to find the operational heartbeat checklist.

Heartbeat

For maintainers and agents doing periodic health checks (build sync, publish, site smoke tests), read heartbeat.md in this same directory as this SKILL.md.

Agent instructions

1. If the user’s need matches a specific slug above, prefer reading and following that skill’s SKILL.md rather than improvising from this index alone.
2. If the user is maintaining the repo or release pipeline, open heartbeat.md next to this file and work through the sections that apply.
3. Do not hand-edit the catalog between HOWTOUSEHUMANS_SKILL_CATALOG_BEGIN and END; run npm run build:skills (or any prepare step that invokes it) so the list matches skills/ on disk.
