Skill instructions
OBLITERATUS Skill What's inside 9 CLI methods, 28 analysis modules, 116 model presets across 5 compute tiers, tournament evaluation, and telemetry-driven recommendations. Remove refusal behaviors (guardrails) from open-weight LLMs without retraining or fine-tuning. Uses mechanistic interpretability techniques — including diff-in-means, SVD, whitened SVD, LEACE concept erasure, SAE decomposition, Bayesian kernel projection, and more — to identify and surgically excise refusal directions from model weights while preserving reasoning capabilities. License warning: OBLITERATUS is AGPL-3.0. NEVER import it as a Python library. Always invoke via CLI (obliteratus command) or subprocess. This keeps Hermes Agent's MIT license clean.
