A viral GitHub project called Colleague Skill, which claims to clone coworkers' workflows and personalities into reusable AI agents, has gone viral in China and sparked debate about worker dignity and job security. Though created as a spoof by a Shanghai AI lab engineer, it reflects a real trend of Chinese bosses pushing employees to document their workflows for AI automation using tools like OpenClaw and Claude Code. Workers have responded with dark humor and countermeasures — including an 'anti-distillation' tool that sabotages the workflow-capture process — while raising legal and ethical questions about who owns an employee's work patterns, personality, and judgment.
