Skill Scrubber

The Skill Scrubber is a building that erases skills from a Duplicant's mind and returns them to their default, initial abilities. Using the Skill Scrubber removes any acquired or learned skills so that the Duplicant retains only the baseline capabilities they began with; after processing, any specialties, trained proficiencies, or otherwise gained skill levels are no longer present.

Because its sole documented function is to reset a Duplicant's skill set to defaults, the Skill Scrubber is used whenever a player needs a clean slate for a Duplicant's abilities. This makes its effect deterministic and straightforward: the target Duplicant leaves the device with only the standard abilities they would have had before acquiring additional skills.

• The Skill Scrubber operates on a Duplicant's mind and affects only their learned skills; it restores the Duplicant to their default skill state.
• Any skills learned prior to using the Skill Scrubber are removed; after use, the Duplicant no longer has those learned proficiencies.
• The building does not alter a Duplicant's innate baseline abilities beyond restoring them to their initial state.

No other behaviors, costs, side effects, or interactions are documented in the available sources; the described and confirmed function is strictly the erasure of learned skills and the return to default abilities.
