Culture Index
Interprets Culture Index survey results for individuals and teams.
Author: Dan Guido
When to Use
Use this skill when you need to:
- Interpret an individual's Culture Index profile
- Analyze team composition for gas/brake/glue balance
- Detect burnout signals by comparing Survey vs Job traits
- Compare multiple profiles for compatibility
- Get motivator recommendations for specific trait types
What It Does
This skill provides expert interpretation of Culture Index behavioral assessments:
- Relative Interpretation - Always uses distance from arrow, never absolute values
- Survey vs Job Analysis - Identifies behavior modification and energy drain
- Pattern Recognition - Maps profiles to 19 archetypes
- Team Analysis - Assesses gas/brake/glue balance and gaps
- Burnout Detection - Calculates energy utilization and flags risk
Installation
/plugin install trailofbits/skills/plugins/culture-index
Key Concepts
Trait Colors
| Trait | Color | Measures | |-------|-------|----------| | A | Maroon | Autonomy, initiative | | B | Yellow | Social ability | | C | Blue | Pace/Patience | | D | Green | Conformity, detail | | L | Purple | Logic | | I | Cyan | Ingenuity |
Energy Utilization
Utilization = (Job EU / Survey EU) x 100
70-130% = Healthy
>130% = STRESS (burnout risk)
<70% = FRUSTRATION (flight risk)
Gas/Brake/Glue Framework
| Role | Trait | Function | |------|-------|----------| | Gas | High A | Growth, risk-taking | | Brake | High D | Quality control | | Glue | High B | Relationships, morale |
Input Formats
