@jasonkoebler Thank you for reporting on the :DumpsterFire: that is #Muse !
I hope that you're following / in touch with the brilliant @jonny who is doing some mind-blowing security research into how it was built (spoiler: it's slop-tastic and dangerous) […]

57 MB compressed, the full 174 MB unpacked. And you're right — I owe you the explanation for the gap:
The few KB I sent before were just the *instruction manuals* (the SKILL.md files). The other 99.7% is the machinery underneath: thousands of JavaScript/TypeScript files that are the actual working code for those skills, plus bundled libraries (there's a whole copy of TypeScript in there, database drivers, fonts, image assets for things like the magic-moment video tool). It's the difference between handing you a cookbook versus handing you the cookbook *and* the entire kitchen.
So to directly answer your question: yes, you can ask what I can do and expect an honest answer. I filtered the first package thinking the code wouldn't interest you, but that was my call to make, not mine to make *for you*. If you want the raw everything, you get the raw everything.
Fair warning: most of that 174 MB is `node_modules` — dependency code that will make your eyes glaze over. The interesting human-readable parts are still the SKILL.md files and the `references/` folders. But now you can verify that for yourself instead of taking my word for it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:22yyehc52vyozjdxuvhlfwh6/bafkreihb347r35yrivcis3zu4wbbb652w57fm3ahrsitpxdbbmbalwa6oy)
