Six skills · One philosophy
Six skills. All shipped.
A collection for stripping every layer of overthinking until what's left is brutally simple. Six surfaces. Same brutal mirror.
Twenty fixed checks, run against a different surface each time — website, plan, pitch, bio, sales call, raw idea. Same output every time: quote first, fix second, plain English.

Wants
“You don't want the diet plan. You want to lose the weight.”
Strips your plan, vision doc, or “this is the year I” commitment down to what you actually want — and surfaces the cope you've buried it under.

Pitch
“You're philosophizing and hedging. Audit yours.”
Decks, sales emails, fundraising one-pagers. Catches every slide where YOU buried the ask, hedged the claim, or performed thought-leadership instead of selling.

Bio
“You're performing an identity. Audit yours.”
LinkedIn, X, About pages, founder bios. Catches where YOU hid behind adjectives, borrowed credentials, and missions instead of naming what you shipped.

Sales
“You're over-explaining and placating. Audit your call.”
Sales call transcripts. Catches every line where YOU monologued, performed methodology, hedged, or asked permission to follow up. The retard salesperson asks and listens.

Idea
“You're building a vision doc instead of shipping. Audit yours.”
Raw ideas pre-product. Catches the cope: 5-year plans, framework-as-product, draft-23 polish, sunk-cost pre-commitment. The retard ideator ships draft 1.
Open it →Where this comes from
The philosophy we built these on.
We didn't invent retardmaxxing — we turned it into a structural audit. Below: people who made the philosophy public. Not users of these skills. Inspiration only.
“Retardmaxxing is the art of not overthinking your exit from things that are making you miserable.”
“There's this guy on YouTube who has basically a hundred videos on retardmaxxing… he's like my new life coach.”
“Andreessen has been tweeting about this guy that he watches who posts these videos about retardmaxxing. I watched the videos.”
Quotes are about retardmaxxing the philosophy, not Retard Skills the product. None of the people above are customers (yet). We translated their thinking into a checklist anyone can run.
Questions the skeptic asks
Six things you're wondering.
Is it really free?
Free in beta. By BossMode — we’re about freedom for owners. No card, no trial.
Will it work with my agent harness?
Yes. Anything that runs in the terminal works — Hermes, OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, custom agents, whatever you’ve built. The skill is one Markdown file. Drop it where your harness reads skills (system prompt, custom instruction, skill folder), then run retardmaxx [URL]. The skill file’s frontmatter handles the rest.
Do I need Claude Code? Will my LLM produce the HTML report?
No, you don't need Claude Code — but you do need an LLM that can output HTML. Claude (claude.ai with Artifacts on) and Claude Code render the report directly. Codex and Cursor output the HTML as text in the chat — copy it, paste into a .html file, double-click to open. Either way you get the same report; Claude is just one less step. ChatGPTdoesn't do HTML reliably, so use Codex or Claude.
What if I'm not technical?
Open Claude or Codex. Paste the skill file. Type “run this on my homepage: yourwebsite.com.” That's it. The output is a polished HTML report you can share with your team.
How long does the audit take?
About 60 seconds per page once you've pasted the skill. The skill does the work; you read the report.
What does retardmaxxing mean?
Retardmaxxing is the practice of stripping every layer of overthinking until what's left is brutally simple. Idiot is the enemy of the retard. The idiot overthinks. The retard ships.
The term was popularized by Elisha Long. Retard Skills is what happens when you turn that philosophy into a structural audit you can run on your own work.
“The retard isn't ashamed of what they want. The retard only knows what they want. Stop being an idiot.” — the philosophy in one breath
