ethics-check

Ethical pre-flight gate for anything persuasive a user will ship or publish — screens, nudges, campaigns, notifications, defaults, copy. Runs the Regret test, scarcity-authenticity, defaults, control/completion, the Manipulation Matrix, Black Mirror and In-Real-Life tests, and the humane principles, and returns a per-check pass/flag/fail verdict where any FAIL blocks with a concrete rewrite. Triggers: '/ethics-check', 'is this ethical', 'dark pattern check', 'regret test', 'before I publish this campaign', 'is this urgency real', 'scarcity authenticity', 'manipulation matrix', 'black mirror test', 'humane design check', 'defaults for the user', 'is this a dark pattern'. Self-improving: every run ends with a gotcha review.
