# Gabe Quip — sarcastic wit for the surfaces a human actually reads **Usage:** `/gabe-quip <rendered surface|authored hero/label> [title|hook|aside|pass]` ## Gabe execution contract (E1–E7) This skill runs under the suite execution contract — E1 EVIDENCE · E2 RUN-BEFORE-✅ · E3 NO SILENT DOWNGRADE · E4 REUSE FIRST · E5 STATE SYNC · E6 MISSING ANCHOR = STOP · E7 REPORT WHERE — floors, not ceilings; a skill's own gate may be stricter, never looser. Full text: `../gabe-docs/references/execution-contract.md` (if that file is missing, E6 applies — STOP). ## The intention (why this skill exists) *A rendered page has one job: get read. Diagrams, memes, progressive disclosure, labels, and colors all fight for the reader's attention — and a sharp true line is another lever in that same kit. A well-placed sarcastic title or hook says the thing everyone already feels but nobody wrote down, and the reader leans in.* This is the prose sibling of `/gabe-meme` — the same oblique wit (the point lands in the reader's head), applied to the words ON a human-facing surface. Wit is **one engagement lever among several** — diagrams (`/gabe-docs` + mermaid), memes (`/gabe-meme`), progressive disclosure (collapsing the heavy/optional), labels, colors, styles. Reach for a quip when a title/hook/label would hit harder as a sharp true line; reach for a sibling lever when a diagram or a collapse serves the reader better. The skill's whole job is judgment: which line is worth a quip, what the unsaid
