The skill class guide · Our proposed language
From everyday work
to a maker’s signature.
Four classes of physical know-how. A way to recognize what it takes to do the work—and what is worth passing on.
Every class has a place.
Choose one to explore
Consistency across many everyday situations.
Repeatable tasks with a clear result. Work that often needs to get done, with little need for personal expression.
- Wipe a counter
- Place a cup
- Sort everyday objects
What rarity means here
Hard-earned knowledge.
Open to everyone.
Some demonstrations are harder to find: an expert’s diagnosis, an unusual material, the decisions behind an exceptional dish. Rarity describes the know-how and access needed to capture them.
We want to make that knowledge easier to share. Useful routines deserve recognition too. Open releases stay accessible, and the people who contribute should share in the value they help create.
A label with a reason behind it.
Proposed review approachStart with the task.
Define the outcome, setting and decisions involved. The same activity can ask for different levels of judgment.
Review the evidence.
A suggested class needs a reviewer’s reasoning. Length, an impressive title or a premium workspace cannot establish it.
Keep the signals clear.
Class describes the work. Recording quality, permissions and robot readiness need their own checks.
One language, across the library.
We plan to carry these colors into skill cards, briefs and reviewed collections. Names stay visible, so color is never the only cue.
This guide is a proposal, not a live rating system. Future funded tasks would publish reward amounts and review terms before recording starts.
