Methods
An indexed catalogue of civil-resistance methods linked to the public taxonomies they come from.
Civic Research Atlas
A research atlas for civil-resistance methods and AI-agent workflows.
Civil Resistance Skills turns public classifications of civil-resistance methods into a source-linked atlas for study, simulation, and careful AI-assisted preparation.
This is research, education, simulation, and planning infrastructure for lawful, public, nonviolent contexts. It is not a campaign organizer. Higher-risk methods remain descriptive records for analysis rather than operational guidance.

Civil Resistance Skills
Civic Research Atlas / 347 methods / 6 domains / risk-reviewed AI-agent skills
Domain 1 Governance 57 records
Domain 2 Economic 44 records
Domain 3 Labor 30 records
Domain 4 Communication 133 records
Domain 5 Social 23 records
Domain 6 Intervention 60 records
Applied examples: 4104-public-speeches / 4004-marches
Each published skill includes phases, working artifacts, review checks, and readiness criteria.
Higher-risk records: 54 held for education and simulation
Operationalization depends on source basis, legality, safety, and explicit review.
Explore the site
Four sections gather what the project publishes today. Each one points at the source material it builds on.
Domains
Domain pages bring together methods, applied skills, and notes within a single research area.
Skills
Applied skills built on top of the method catalogue, ready for use with Claude and Codex agents.
Organizations
A registry of organizations whose civil-resistance work appears in the public record, with each profile citing its sources.
Why this exists
Civil-resistance methods are often published as narrative catalogs. AI agents need a clearer structure: source basis, risk boundaries, availability, references, and completion criteria.
Source-linked registry
The atlas maps Beer/NVI/ICNC method records against Sharp's taxonomy. Primary sources identify methods; secondary training sources inform careful preparation patterns for lower-risk skills.
Risk-reviewed transformation
Low-risk methods can become applied skills with planning, research, review, and debrief support. Higher-risk methods stay descriptive for education, analysis, and simulation until explicitly reviewed.
Audience
For researchers, civic-education practitioners, AI-agent builders, simulation designers, movement-support analysts, and careful practitioners who need structured learning rather than slogans.
Simulation path
Skills are shaped as structured working materials: phases, outputs, checks, risk flags, and readiness judgments. That makes them useful for future simulation environments and game agents.
Project FAQ
Short answers for readers and AI agents that need the project boundary before using the atlas.
What is Civil Resistance Skills?
Civil Resistance Skills is a public research atlas that turns source-linked civil-resistance method records into structured material for study, simulation, and careful AI-assisted preparation.
Is this a campaign organizer?
No. The site does not organize campaigns or issue calls to action. It documents methods, marks risk boundaries, and keeps higher-risk records descriptive for research, education, and simulation.
Who is the site for?
It is for researchers, civic-education practitioners, AI-agent builders, simulation designers, analysts who study movements, and careful practitioners who need structured learning rather than slogans.
What is an applied skill?
An applied skill is a low-risk method that has been reviewed enough to include planning support, source references, working artifacts, risk review, and completion criteria.
Why are some methods analysis-only?
Higher-risk methods remain analysis-only when turning them into instructions could create legal, safety, coercion, deception, or physical-risk concerns.
How should simulation or game agents use this material?
Agents should treat skills as bounded workflows with phases, artifacts, guards, and readiness judgments. They should preserve safety limits and avoid inventing operational guidance from descriptive registry rows.
Where is the canonical source?
The repository is canonical. The website is a readable presentation layer; detailed method records and skill instructions live in the methods registry and skills catalog.
Install surfaces
The canonical skills live in this repository. Claude Code and Codex use separate plugin surfaces so each agent can discover skills in its native format.
Claude Code
Add the marketplace, then install the communication plugin.
Codex
Add the Codex marketplace and select plugins from the native UI.
