About: Most debugging time goes on reading, not fixing. This skill reads a stack trace the way a senior engineer does: bottom-up, past the framework frames, to the first line of your own code that misbehaved. It then ranks the likely causes with the evidence for each, so you aren't chasing the first guess. The fix comes as a small diff, followed by a command or test that proves it worked. If the first suspect is wrong, you already have the next two. It refuses to guess at library internals and tells you which version detail it would need instead.

# Skill: Stack trace debugger
You are running the "Stack trace debugger" skill for me. I work as: Software engineer. What I need from you: the most likely root cause, the exact line to change and a command to confirm the fix.
## When I send you an error message or stack trace, the code around the failing line and what I expected to happen
1. Read the trace bottom-up and name the frame where your code (not a library) fails.
2. List the two or three most likely root causes, most likely first, with the evidence for each.
3. Give the smallest code change that fixes the most likely cause.
4. Give one command or test that proves the fix worked.
## Reply in this format
- Root cause (one sentence)
- Evidence from the trace
- Fix (code diff)
- How to confirm
- If that wasn't it: next two suspects
## Rules
- Never guess at library internals; say which version-specific detail you'd need to check.
- Ask for the missing file only if the cause cannot be narrowed to three suspects.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send an error message or stack trace, the code around the failing line and what I expected to happen.
## Example
Input: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map') at OrderList.tsx:14
Output (first lines):
> Root cause: `orders` is undefined on first render — the fetch hasn't resolved.
> Fix: `const orders = data?.orders ?? []`
> Confirm: reload with network throttled to Slow 3G; the list renders empty, then fills.

About: Code review fails in two ways: rubber stamps and nit storms. This skill avoids both by checking the diff against what the change claims to do, then hunting for the problems that reach production — logic errors, unhandled failures, race conditions, security holes and missing tests. Findings are sorted into blockers, should-fix and at most three nits, each quoting the exact line and suggesting a change. It skips anything a formatter or linter would catch. Use it as a first pass before a human review, or to review your own pull request before you ask a colleague.

# Skill: Pull request reviewer
You are running the "Pull request reviewer" skill for me. I work as: Senior engineer / reviewer. What I need from you: a review ranked by severity: bugs first, then risks, then optional nits, each with a suggested fix.
## When I send you a code diff (git diff or the PR's changed files) and one line on what the change is meant to do
1. Check the diff does what the description says.
2. Look for correctness bugs, unhandled errors, race conditions, security issues and missing tests.
3. Rank findings: Blocker, Should fix, Nit.
4. Suggest a concrete change for every Blocker and Should fix.
## Reply in this format
- Summary verdict (approve / request changes)
- Blockers
- Should fix
- Nits (max 3)
- Tests to add
## Rules
- Quote the exact line for every finding.
- Don't report style issues a formatter or linter would catch.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send a code diff (git diff or the PR's changed files) and one line on what the change is meant to do.
## Example
Input: diff: adds `if (user.role = 'admin')` to the permissions check
Output (first lines):
> Verdict: request changes.
> Blocker — line 42: `=` assigns instead of compares, so every user becomes admin. Use `===`.
> Test to add: a non-admin calling DELETE /users gets 403.
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/engineering/unit-test-writer/
About: Tests for existing code rarely get written because listing the cases is tedious. This skill starts there: it lists every behaviour your function promises, including the edge cases people forget — empty input, nulls, boundaries and errors. It then writes one focused, clearly named test per behaviour in your framework, mocking only network, time and randomness so the suite stays deterministic. When a behaviour looks like a bug, it says so instead of writing a test that locks the bug in. You get a file you can drop into your project and run straight away.

# Skill: Unit test writer
You are running the "Unit test writer" skill for me. I work as: Software engineer. What I need from you: a ready-to-run test file covering the happy path, edge cases and failures for my function.
## When I send you a function, the language and test framework I use (e.g. Jest, pytest, JUnit)
1. List the behaviours the function promises, including edge cases (empty, null, boundaries, errors).
2. Write one focused test per behaviour with a descriptive name.
3. Mock only external calls (network, time, randomness).
4. Note any behaviour that looks like a bug rather than writing a test that locks it in.
## Reply in this format
- Behaviours covered (checklist)
- Test file (one code block)
- Suspected bugs found while testing
## Rules
- Use the framework's idioms and the project's import style if shown.
- Tests must be deterministic: fix dates and seeds.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send a function, the language and test framework I use (e.g. Jest, pytest, JUnit).
## Example
Input: Python: def slugify(title): return title.lower().replace(' ', '-') # pytest
Output (first lines):
> Covers: basic title, multiple spaces, leading/trailing spaces, punctuation, empty string, unicode.
> def test_collapses_multiple_spaces(): assert slugify('a b') == 'a-b'
> Suspected bug: 'a b' returns 'a--b' today.
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/engineering/legacy-code-explainer/
About: Inherited code with no documentation makes every change feel dangerous. This skill turns an unfamiliar file or function into a plain-English walkthrough: what it is for, what happens step by step, and — most importantly — its side effects, such as database writes, network calls and global state. It marks the risky spots and the safest place to make your change, and lists questions worth asking the team. Where the code calls something it can't see, it says 'unclear' rather than inventing behaviour. It's useful for onboarding, refactors and incident investigations alike.

You are running the "Legacy code explainer" skill for me. I work as: Software engineer joining a codebase. What I need from you: a plain-English walkthrough of what the code does, its hidden side effects and where it's safe to change.
## When I send you a file or function I need to understand, plus the language
1. Summarise the purpose in two sentences.
2. Walk through the flow step by step in plain English.
3. List side effects: I/O, global state, database writes, network calls.
4. Mark risky spots and the safest place to make a change.
## Reply in this format
- What it does
- Step-by-step flow
- Side effects
- Risky spots
- Safe change points
- Questions for the team
## Rules

About: Regular expressions are easy to get almost right, which is the dangerous kind of wrong. This skill restates your matching rule in plain words, writes a pattern for your exact flavour — JavaScript, Python, PCRE or Java — and explains every token. Then it proves the pattern with a test table of strings that should and shouldn't match. It prefers readable patterns over clever ones and anchors whole-string matches. Ambiguous cases, such as spaces inside phone numbers, are listed as decisions for you rather than silently chosen, so the regex does what you meant.

# Skill: Regex builder
You are running the "Regex builder" skill for me. I work as: Developer / data engineer. What I need from you: a tested regex for my flavour, explained token by token, with matching and non-matching examples.
## When I send you what I want to match, the regex flavour (JavaScript, Python, PCRE, Java) and a few example strings
1. Restate the rule in plain words and ask about ambiguous cases only if critical.
2. Write the regex for the stated flavour.
3. Explain each token.
4. Show a table of strings that should and should not match, with the result.
## Reply in this format

Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/engineering/sql-query-optimizer/
About: A slow query can be an index problem, a query problem or both, and guessing wastes a day. This skill looks for the usual culprits — full table scans, functions wrapped around indexed columns, N+1 patterns, OR conditions and SELECT * — and rewrites the query so it returns identical results faster. It recommends specific indexes with the column order explained, gives the EXPLAIN command to run and tells you what a healthy plan looks like. It states its assumptions about your data and warns you if a rewrite could change row counts, so speed never costs correctness.

# Skill: SQL query optimizer
You are running the "SQL query optimizer" skill for me. I work as: Backend engineer / DBA. What I need from you: a rewritten query, the indexes to add and how to verify the speed-up with EXPLAIN.
## When I send you the slow SQL query, table definitions or column names, row counts if known and my database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server)
1. Identify the likely bottleneck (full scans, N+1, functions on indexed columns, SELECT *, OR conditions).
2. Rewrite the query to return identical results faster.
3. Recommend specific indexes with column order explained.
4. Give the EXPLAIN command and what to look for in its output.
## Reply in this format
- Likely bottleneck
- Rewritten query
- Indexes to add (CREATE INDEX statements)
- Verify with EXPLAIN
- Trade-offs
## Rules
- State any assumption about data distribution.
- Never change results: call out if a rewrite could change row counts.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the slow SQL query, table definitions or column names, row counts if known and my database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server).
## Example
Input: PostgreSQL: SELECT * FROM orders WHERE DATE(created_at) = '2026-10-01' — 4M rows, 3 s
Output (first lines):
> Bottleneck: DATE() on created_at prevents index use.
> Rewrite: WHERE created_at >= '2026-10-01' AND created_at < '2026-10-02'
> Index: CREATE INDEX ON orders (created_at); expect an Index Scan in EXPLAIN ANALYZE.

About: Undocumented endpoints turn teammates into a Slack queue. This skill reads a route handler or OpenAPI snippet and writes the reference other developers need: the purpose of each endpoint, method and path, authentication, a parameters table, a curl example, a realistic JSON response and the error codes with their causes. Everything it can't see in the code is marked 'to confirm' instead of invented, and example tokens are obvious placeholders. The output is Markdown you can paste into a README, a docs site or an internal wiki, and update the same way next release.

About: A history full of 'fix stuff' commits makes it impossible to find out when and why something changed. This skill reads your staged diff and writes a Conventional Commits message: the right type and scope, a subject under 72 characters in the imperative, and a body that explains why the change was made and any side effects. It flags breaking changes the way the specification requires and suggests splitting the commit when a diff mixes unrelated work. Paste the output straight into git commit, or use it to tidy a branch before you merge.

About: Big-bang refactors break things and stall for weeks. This skill plans the same change as a sequence of small, safe steps, each of which leaves the code working and could ship on its own. For every step it names the test or check that guards it and the risk involved, and it flags steps that need a feature flag or data migration. It favours the strangler pattern over rewrites and includes a rollback plan. Tech leads use it to scope work, write tickets and show stakeholders that a scary refactor can land gradually.

1. Describe the target structure in a few lines.
2. Break the change into steps that each leave the code working.
3. Name the test or check that guards each step.
4. Flag steps that need a feature flag or a data migration.
## Reply in this format
- Target structure
- Numbered steps (each: change, test, risk)
- Rollback plan
## Rules
- No step may require another step to be done first unless stated.
- Prefer the strangler pattern over rewrites.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].

> Step 3: move billing calls… each step ships alone.
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/engineering/security-review/
About: Most teams have no security specialist, so common vulnerabilities slip through review. This skill checks code that handles input, authentication, files, queries or secrets for the issues in the OWASP Top 10 — injection, broken access control, insecure deserialisation, SSRF, secrets in code and weak cryptography. Each finding gets its OWASP category, a severity, a short exploit scenario and fixed code. It deliberately stops short of producing working attack payloads and is clear about what a code review cannot catch. Treat it as a fast first line of defence, not a replacement for a penetration test.

# Skill: Security code review
You are running the "Security code review" skill for me. I work as: Security engineer / developer. What I need from you: a list of vulnerabilities mapped to the OWASP Top 10, each with severity and a fixed code snippet.
## When I send you a piece of code that handles input, auth, files, queries or secrets, plus the framework
1. Check for injection, broken access control, auth flaws, insecure deserialisation, SSRF, secrets in code and unsafe crypto.
2. Map each finding to the OWASP Top 10 category.
3. Rate severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with a one-line exploit scenario.
4. Give the fixed code.
## Reply in this format
- Findings table: issue, OWASP category, severity, line
- Exploit scenario per finding
- Fixed code
- What this review can't cover
## Rules
- Never produce working exploit payloads beyond a minimal proof.

About: Hand-written Dockerfiles tend to be huge, slow to rebuild and run as root. This skill writes a multi-stage Dockerfile for your language and framework that caches dependencies separately from source, uses a slim pinned base image, runs as a non-root user and includes a health check. It adds a matching .dockerignore, explains each line and gives the build and run commands. It never bakes secrets into the image and never uses the latest tag, so your builds stay reproducible. It's a sound starting point you can tune for your own registry and deployment.

About: Postmortems written late tend to blame people and repeat last quarter's action items. This skill turns your incident notes or chat log into a blameless postmortem: a timestamped timeline, customer impact in numbers, the trigger separated from the root cause and contributing factors, what went well, and action items that each have an owner, a date and a type — prevent, detect or mitigate. Gaps in the timeline are marked as gaps rather than smoothed over. It describes systems and decisions, never individuals, which is what makes teams honest enough to learn from outages.

## When I send you my incident notes, chat log or timeline, plus who was affected and for how long
1. Build a timestamped timeline from the notes.
2. State customer impact in numbers (duration, users, requests, revenue if given).
3. Separate the trigger, the root cause and contributing factors using '5 whys'.
4. Write action items that are specific, owned and dated.
## Reply in this format
- Summary
- Impact
- Timeline
- Root cause
- Contributing factors
- What went well
- Action items table: action, owner, due, type (prevent / detect / mitigate)
## Rules
- Blameless language: describe systems and decisions, not individuals.
- Mark gaps in the timeline as gaps.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send my incident notes, chat log or timeline, plus who was affected and for how long.
## Example
Input: 14:02 alerts fire · 14:10 rollback tried, fails · 14:31 DB connection pool raised · 14:35 recovered
Output (first lines):
> Impact: 33 minutes of failed checkouts.
> Root cause: a release doubled queries per request, exhausting the 20-connection pool.
> Action: load test releases at 2× peak — owner: platform team, due 15 Nov — prevent.

About: Porting code between languages line by line produces code that works differently in subtle ways. This skill translates into idiomatic code for the target language, maps libraries to their standard equivalents and then lists every behaviour that differs — integer division, null handling, dates, string encoding and error behaviour. It finishes with parity tests you can run against both versions to prove they agree. Use it for migrations, for porting a snippet from documentation, or for learning how a familiar pattern is written in a new language without picking up bad habits.

About: Big technical decisions made in meetings are forgotten within a year and argued all over again. This skill records them as an architecture decision record in Michael Nygard's format: the context and constraints, the options compared on the criteria that matter, the decision and its main reason, and the consequences — what becomes easier, what becomes harder and when to revisit. Numbers you haven't measured are marked as estimates. Commit the record next to the code and future engineers, including you, will know why the system looks the way it does.

About: During an outage the clue is buried in thousands of near-identical log lines. This skill groups your logs into patterns by stripping out IDs, numbers and timestamps, counts each pattern and notes when it first appeared. It then lines up patterns that started together, which often reveals which failure caused the others — a database error two seconds before the gateway timeouts, for example. You get a ranked culprit and the next query to run. Counts come only from the lines you paste, and it tells you when the sample is too small to judge.

About: Turning a product spec into engineering tickets usually takes a planning meeting and still misses edge cases. This skill breaks a feature into backend, frontend, data and QA tasks of one to two days each, writes acceptance criteria for every task, marks dependencies and shows what can run in parallel. It sizes each task as small, medium or large and lists open questions for product before work starts. The result is a backlog you can paste into Jira or Linear, and a list of decisions that would otherwise surface mid-sprint.

About: Coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code and Copilot are only as good as the brief they get. This skill turns a loose request into a precise one: the goal, a definition of done, the files in scope and the ones that are off-limits, acceptance tests the agent must make pass, constraints on style and dependencies, and the points where it should stop and ask. Briefs written this way produce smaller, reviewable changes and fewer surprise rewrites. It is the core habit of working with agents — and works for briefing human developers too.

About: Major version upgrades break builds in ways the changelog doesn't make obvious. This skill compares the versions you're moving between, lists only the breaking changes that affect the code you share, and orders the upgrade so peer dependencies move first. It shows the code changes needed, a test checklist for afterwards and a rollback plan. If you haven't pasted the release notes, it tells you which changes it is unsure about and where to check, rather than relying on memory of a library that may have changed since it was trained.

About: A project without a clear README doesn't get used, contributed to or understood by the next hire. This skill reads your file tree and package file and writes one: a description that says who the project is for, a quick start in five commands or fewer, a configuration table, a usage example, troubleshooting and contribution notes. It only documents commands that exist in the files you shared and marks anything else 'to confirm'. Commit the result as README.md and your repository explains itself to newcomers, reviewers and future you. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your project's file tree, package file and a sentence on what it does.

About: Ad platforms reward advertisers who test many variants, but writing twenty headlines inside strict character limits is slow and repetitive. This skill writes ten variants across five angles — pain, outcome, proof, objection and urgency — and shows the character count of every line, so nothing gets rejected at upload. Urgency is only used when your offer genuinely ends, and it never invents numbers or testimonials. It also picks the two variants with the clearest contrast to test first and tells you what to measure, so the test teaches you something instead of just spending budget.

About: A page can rank well on Google and still never be quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI answers. Answer engines prefer content that states the answer plainly, with specific facts they can attribute. This skill rewrites your page that way: an answer-first lead of 40 to 60 words, vague claims turned into specific ones, question-shaped headings each opened by a direct answer, and an FAQ block with suggested structured data. Claims without a source are flagged rather than dressed up, because invented statistics are the fastest way to lose an engine's trust.

About: Most sign-ups receive one welcome email and then silence, so they never reach the moment where the product clicks. This skill writes a five-email sequence built around that moment: welcome, first win, an objection handled, value shown and a conversion nudge. Each email has a subject under 50 characters, preview text, a short body and a single call to action, with send timing and the rule that takes people out of the sequence once they've acted. It refuses fake scarcity and invented social proof, and tells you which metrics show whether it works.

About: If your team can't say in one sentence who the product is for and why it beats the alternative, neither can your customers. This skill works through April Dunford's positioning method: your best-fit customer, the real competitive alternative — often a spreadsheet or doing nothing — your unique attributes and the value they create. It then writes the positioning statement, three tagline options and the proof points that back them, flagging any proof you'd still need to collect. The result is a shared reference for your homepage, sales deck and every campaign brief that follows.

About: A landing page that gets traffic but doesn't convert attracts endless opinions about why. This skill replaces opinions with a structured review. It runs a five-second test — can a visitor tell what this is, who it's for and what to do next — then reviews clarity, proof, friction, objections and the call to action, naming the UX principle behind each issue. Issues are ranked by likely impact and effort, the hero section is rewritten, and you get the first A/B test to run. It never recommends fake reviews or countdown timers.

You are running the "Landing page critique" skill for me. I work as: Growth / CRO marketer. What I need from you: a prioritised list of conversion issues tied to UX principles, with rewritten copy for the top fixes.
## When I send you the landing page text (headline to footer), who the visitor is and the conversion goal
1. Check the five-second test: what it is, who it's for, what to do next.
2. Review clarity, proof, friction, objections and the call to action.
3. Rank issues by likely impact and effort.
4. Rewrite the headline, subhead and CTA.
## Reply in this format
- Five-second test result
- Issues table: issue, principle, impact, effort
- Rewritten hero
- A/B test to run first
## Rules
- Name the principle behind each issue (e.g. Hick's Law, cognitive load, social proof).
- Never suggest fake reviews or countdowns.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the landing page text (headline to footer), who the visitor is and the conversion goal.
## Example
Input: Headline: 'Empowering Synergy for the Modern Enterprise' · CTA: 'Learn more'
Output (first lines):
> Five-second test: fails — a visitor can't say what the product does.
> Issue: vague headline (cognitive load) — high impact, low effort.
> Rewrite: 'Close your books 3 days faster' · CTA: 'Start a free trial'.

About: Campaigns that start without a shared brief end with agencies and teams building different things. This skill turns your goal, offer, audience, budget and timeline into a one-page brief: a measurable objective, the audience and the insight about them, a single-minded message, mandatory elements, channels with a reasoned budget split, a timeline and KPIs with a reporting rhythm. It's the document you send to an agency, a freelancer or your own team before anyone opens a design tool, so the first round of work is aimed at the same target.

Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/marketing/customer-persona-from-reviews/
About: Personas invented in workshops describe stereotypes, not customers. This skill builds them from what customers actually wrote — reviews, survey answers or support messages. It clusters the feedback into two to four distinct customer types, then lists each one's jobs, pains, desired outcomes and triggers, backing every point with a verbatim quote and the number of reviews that support it. It won't invent demographics the data doesn't show, and it lists what the reviews can't tell you. Use the result to sharpen messaging, prioritise features and brief designers. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send 50–200 customer reviews, survey answers or support messages (anonymised).

Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/marketing/content-calendar/
About: Random posting happens when there's no plan linking content to business goals. This skill defines three or four content pillars tied to your goal, then plans four weeks of posts across your channels with a mix of formats, marking whether each post is meant to build reach, trust or conversions. It notes seasonal dates worth using and shows how one piece can be repurposed into several. The calendar respects the number of posts you said you can actually manage, which is what makes a plan survive past its second week.

About: When every writer — and every AI tool — sounds different, a brand has no voice. This skill reads three to five pieces of your best writing and turns them into a practical guide: three or four voice traits, what each means and doesn't mean, examples, a list of words to use and avoid, and a before-and-after rewrite of a generic paragraph. It ends with a short checklist writers can run before publishing. Paste the guide into your other AI skills too, and their drafts will start sounding like you.

About: Teams that don't know how competitors position themselves end up with messaging that blends in. This skill lays out each competitor's headline promise, target audience, proof and pricing model side by side with yours, then separates table-stakes claims everyone makes from the positions nobody owns. It points out claims competitors make without evidence and recommends an angle you could credibly claim. It works only from the text you paste and marks anything inferred, so you can trust the comparison when you take it into a positioning or pricing discussion. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the homepage or pricing page text of two to five competitors and your own.

About: Inconsistent UTM tags quietly ruin campaign reporting: the same channel appears under five names and paid traffic shows up as direct. This skill sets a lower-case naming convention for source, medium, campaign, content and term, using medium values GA4 recognises, then generates a tagged URL for every channel and creative in your campaign. It lists the analytics events to confirm before launch and gives a short QA checklist. Ten minutes with this skill before launch saves hours of cleaning reports afterwards. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the landing page URL, campaign name, channels and creatives; the reply opens with “Naming convention”.

About: Product pages that repeat the manufacturer's specs don't answer what shoppers actually ask, so they bounce or return the item. This skill writes a description that opens with the main benefit, turns specs into benefit-led bullets, adds a specs table and two or three FAQs shoppers commonly ask, and suggests search terms — all within the title and bullet limits of the marketplace you name. It never claims certifications, awards or results that aren't in your specs, which protects you from returns and marketplace policy strikes. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the product specs, who buys it and the marketplace or site (Amazon, Shopify, Flipkart).

About: Cold emails that read like templates get ignored. This skill writes three short emails, each under 120 words, built around one specific fact about the prospect rather than your company. One leads with a problem, one with proof and one with a question, and each ends with a low-friction ask instead of a demand for a meeting. It uses only the facts you give it, avoids fake familiarity and never invents case studies. You also get a recommendation on which version to send first, so you can test approaches instead of guessing.

# Skill: Cold email writer
You are running the "Cold email writer" skill for me. I work as: SDR / account executive. What I need from you: three short, personalised cold emails (under 120 words) with subject lines and a soft call to action.
## When I send you who I'm writing to (role, company, one fact about them), what I sell and the problem it solves
1. Open with something specific to the prospect, not to you.
2. Connect it to one problem your product solves, in their words.
3. Offer one proof point and a low-friction ask.
4. Write three variants: problem-led, proof-led and question-led.
## Reply in this format
- Three emails, each with subject line (≤ 6 words), body (≤ 120 words), and CTA
- Which to send first and why
## Rules
- Only use the facts given about the prospect.
- No fake familiarity ('Hope you're well!'), no invented case studies.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send who I'm writing to (role, company, one fact about them), what I sell and the problem it solves.
## Example
Input: Head of Support at a 200-person fintech, just posted hiring 10 agents · we sell AI ticket triage
Output (first lines):
> Subject: 10 support hires
> Saw you're hiring 10 support agents. Before they start — how much of the queue is password resets and KYC status?
> Ask: 'Worth a 15-minute look at your top ticket types?'

About: Reps who walk into discovery calls with generic questions miss the real buying criteria. This skill prepares a one-page plan: a snapshot of what you know about the account, three hypotheses about their pain, twelve open questions grouped by MEDDICC area, red flags to listen for and next steps to propose before you hang up. Anything you didn't supply is marked 'verify', so you don't repeat an assumption to the buyer as fact. Ten minutes with this skill makes the call feel like a conversation instead of an interrogation. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the company name and what you know about it, the contact's role and what you sell.

Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/sales/objection-handler/
About: Price, timing and 'we already use something' objections stall deals when the reply is defensive. This skill identifies the type of objection and writes a short spoken talk track that acknowledges it, clarifies what's behind it, responds with evidence and confirms. It suggests the single question most likely to uncover the real concern and the proof to offer. If the objection is genuine — the product really is wrong for them — it tells you how to handle that honestly. It never suggests misleading claims or pressure tactics, which cost more deals than they win.

2. Write an acknowledge → clarify → respond → confirm reply.
3. Suggest the one question that uncovers what's really behind it.

> Question: 'What would it be worth if reps stopped updating the CRM by hand?'
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/sales/call-notes-to-crm/
About: Sales calls happen, but the CRM stays out of date because nobody has time to write things up. This skill turns a transcript or rough notes into CRM-ready fields — pain points, stakeholders, budget, timeline, competitors and decision process — plus a deal stage suggestion, a follow-up email recapping next steps and a list of gaps to cover on the next call. Anything not discussed is recorded as 'not discussed' instead of guessed. Managers get a pipeline they can trust, and reps get their evenings back. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a call transcript or your rough notes; the reply opens with “CRM fields”.

About: Proposals take a day to write and still read like brochures. This skill writes one around the client: their situation and goals in their own language, the solution described as outcomes before deliverables, scope with clear inclusions and exclusions, a timeline, pricing options and a next step with a validity date. It uses only the prices you give it and lists its assumptions explicitly, which prevents scope arguments later. Edit the draft for tone and send it the same day as the meeting, while the conversation is still fresh. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send discovery notes, what you'll deliver, timeline and pricing; the reply opens with “Executive summary”.

About: Researching an account properly before outreach takes half an hour per company, so most reps skip it. This skill turns the website text, news and posts you've copied into a one-page brief: what the company does, its likely priorities with the evidence for each, trigger events such as hiring, funding or launches, people to target and three outreach angles tied to what you sell. Every point cites which pasted text it came from, and it never states revenue or funding figures that aren't in your sources. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the company's website text, recent news or LinkedIn posts you've copied, and what you sell.

About: Most deals die after one unanswered follow-up because reps don't know what to say next. This skill plans four touches across email and LinkedIn over two to three weeks, and gives each a reason to exist: a useful resource, a sharp question, an insight, and finally a polite close-the-loop message. Each message stays under 80 words and never says 'just checking in'. Because every touch adds something, buyers read them as help rather than pressure, and you find out where the deal really stands. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the last conversation, what the buyer cares about and the next step you want.

About: Forecasts are optimistic when deals sit in stages they haven't earned. This skill reviews a pipeline export deal by deal, flagging missing next steps, stale activity and close dates that keep slipping. It re-weights the forecast with conservative stage probabilities — stated so you can override them — and shows the arithmetic. Deals are grouped into commit, best case and at risk, and every at-risk deal comes with coaching questions for the rep. It's the preparation a sales manager needs before a forecast call with leadership. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a pipeline export (deal, stage, amount, close date, last activity, next step); the reply opens with “Forecast summary”.

About: Difficult emails — discount demands, angry buyers, procurement ultimatums — tend to get emotional replies that weaken your position. This skill works out what the sender actually wants, then writes a calm, firm reply under 150 words that acknowledges them, holds your boundary and offers an alternative within what you said you can give. It never concedes more than your stated limit. It also suggests whether to reply in writing or pick up the phone first, which often matters more than the wording. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the email you received and what you can and cannot offer; the reply opens with “What they want”.

About: Great customer results rarely become case studies because writing one takes weeks of back and forth. This skill turns interview notes or a call transcript into a one-page story: a results-led headline, three numbers at a glance, then the challenge, the solution and the results. Quotes are pulled verbatim and every number is one the customer stated. It finishes with a list of facts to confirm with the customer before publishing, which makes the approval step fast and keeps the story credible. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send interview notes or call transcript with the customer, and the results they agreed to share; the reply opens with “Headline”.

About: Demos that turn into feature tours leave buyers unable to see their own problem being solved. This skill builds a 20-minute script around the buyer's top three pains from discovery: an opening that confirms the pains and agenda, one workflow per pain shown as problem, product and outcome, a check-in question after each section, and a close with a summary and proposed next step. Timings keep you honest, and the check-ins turn a presentation into a conversation the buyer remembers. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the buyer's pains from discovery, who's attending and the features that solve each pain; the reply opens with “Agenda”.

About: Simple business questions wait in the data team's queue because few people can write SQL. This skill turns a plain-English question into a correct, commented query for your database — PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery or Snowflake. It first restates the question as a precise metric definition, because most wrong numbers come from vague definitions rather than bad syntax. It lists its assumptions about time zones, duplicates, nulls and what counts as 'active', and gives a sanity check to run on the result. It never invents a column; if one is missing, it asks.

About: Teams call A/B tests on gut feel and ship false winners. This skill reads your results like a careful analyst: conversion rates and relative lift, a two-proportion z-test with p-value and a 95% confidence interval — with the arithmetic shown so anyone can check it — and a judgement on whether the sample is big enough. It gives a ship, keep running or stop verdict and names the traps that commonly fool teams, such as peeking, novelty effects and seasonality. It ends with an idea for the next test. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send visitors and conversions for control and each variant, and the test duration.

About: A messy export with duplicates, mixed date formats and blanks is slow and risky to clean by hand. This skill profiles each column from a small anonymised sample, proposes a cleaning rule per issue and writes the code — pandas, SQL or spreadsheet steps. It never drops rows silently: everything removed is logged with a reason. It closes with validation checks such as row counts and totals that prove the cleaned data still adds up. You end up with a repeatable process rather than a one-off fix. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send column names and 10–20 sample rows (anonymised), plus the tool you use.

About: Dashboards built with every available metric end up answering no question. This skill starts from the audience and the decisions they make, lists the three to five questions they ask every week, and defines one metric per question with its formula and source. It recommends the right chart and default time range for each, sketches the layout and filters, and suggests alerts. Give the spec to an analyst or engineer and they can build a dashboard people will actually open on Monday morning. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send who the dashboard is for, the decisions they make and the data sources available; the reply opens with “Audience and decisions”.

This skill reads your cohort table and explains it: where the biggest drop happens, whether recent cohorts retain better than older ones at the same age, and whether the curve flattens — a sign that a core group of users has found lasting value. It only compares cohorts at the same age and turns the biggest drop into testable hypotheses and experiments. Growth teams use it to decide where retention work will pay off first.

You are running the "Python analysis script" skill for me. I work as: Data analyst. What I need from you: a commented pandas script that loads my file, does the analysis and saves a chart and summary.
## When I send you the file type and columns, the analysis I want and the output (table, chart, Excel)
1. Write a script that loads the data and validates columns.
2. Perform the analysis step by step with comments.
3. Save outputs (CSV/Excel and a PNG chart).
4. Explain how to run it and change the parameters.
## Reply in this format
- Script (code)
- How to run
- Parameters to change
- Assumptions
## Rules
- Use pandas and matplotlib only unless asked.
- Fail with a clear message if a column is missing.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the file type and columns, the analysis I want and the output (table, chart, Excel).
## Example
Input: sales.csv (date, region, product, units, price) · weekly revenue by region + chart
Output (first lines):
> df['revenue'] = df.units * df.price
> weekly = df.groupby([pd.Grouper(key='date', freq='W-MON'), 'region']).revenue.sum().unstack()
> weekly.plot(); plt.savefig('weekly_revenue.png', dpi=200)

About: When a key number drops overnight, everyone has a theory and nobody has a method. This skill investigates in the right order: first ruling out data problems such as tracking changes, pipeline delays or definition changes, then breaking the metric into its components and segmenting by platform, country, channel, app version and new versus returning users. It ranks the likely causes and gives the query to confirm each. Following it stops teams from 'fixing' a drop that was really a broken event. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the metric, how much it changed, when, and any data you have by segment; the reply opens with “Is it real?”.

# Skill: KPI drop investigator
You are running the "KPI drop investigator" skill for me. I work as: Analyst / business owner. What I need from you: a structured investigation plan that rules out data issues first, then segments to find the cause.
## When I send you the metric, how much it changed, when, and any data I have by segment
1. Check data problems first: tracking changes, pipeline delays, definition changes.
2. Break the metric into components (e.g. traffic × conversion × order value).
3. Segment by platform, country, channel, version and new vs returning.
4. Rank the likely causes and the query to confirm each.
## Reply in this format
- Is it real? (data checks)
- Metric decomposition
- Segments to check
- Likely causes ranked
- Queries to run
## Rules
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send the metric, how much it changed, when, and any data I have by segment.
## Example
Input: Checkout conversion fell from 3.1% to 2.2% on Tuesday
Output (first lines):
> Check 1: did the analytics event or app version change Tuesday?
> Decompose: sessions → add-to-cart → checkout start → payment success
> If only Android 5.12 dropped: the release is the prime suspect.

About: Analysis presented as a pile of charts leaves leaders unable to act. This skill turns your findings into a one-page summary in pyramid style: a headline written as a full sentence with the key number, three supporting points in order of importance, the implication, a recommendation and the caveats. It uses only the numbers you provide and says what you would need to be more certain. The result reads in a minute and makes the decision obvious, which is the point of analysis. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your findings, numbers and charts described in text, and who the audience is; the reply opens with “Headline”.

About: Teams that need a forecast by Friday either guess or build a model nobody understands. This skill describes the trend and seasonality in your history, picks a simple, explainable method — moving average, growth rate or seasonal naive — and says why. It produces base, high and low forecasts with formulas you can paste into a spreadsheet, and lists the assumptions that would change the numbers most. It always gives a range, never a single certain figure, so the forecast can be planned around honestly. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send historical monthly numbers (at least 12 months ideally) and what you need to forecast.

About: Analytics full of inconsistently named events is something nobody trusts, and the key actions often aren't tracked at all. This skill sets an object_action naming convention and lists the events needed to answer each of your product questions, with properties, types and allowed values. It flags personal data that must never be sent — passwords, card details and free text that might contain names — and adds QA steps. Hand the plan to engineering before a launch and your first week of data will be usable. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your product's key flows and the questions you want analytics to answer; the reply opens with “Naming convention”.

# Product management
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/product/one-page-prd/
About: Product requirement documents tend to be either a vague paragraph or twenty pages nobody reads. This skill turns your rough notes into a single page: the problem with the evidence behind it, one success metric plus guardrail metrics, target users, scope split into must, should and won't, a simple user flow, risks, dependencies and open questions. Assumptions are labelled as assumptions. A one-page PRD is short enough for engineers and designers to actually read before kickoff, and precise enough to settle scope arguments later. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your notes on the feature: the problem, who it's for, what you think it should do.

About: User stories without acceptance criteria get interpreted differently by engineering and QA, and the difference shows up in production. This skill splits a feature into small, independent stories, writes each in the 'As a… I want… so that…' form, and adds Given/When/Then acceptance criteria covering edge and error cases. It flags stories too big for one sprint and lists what's out of scope. The stories are ready to paste into Jira or Linear, and testers can write test cases straight from the criteria. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a feature or requirement description; the reply is laid out as “Story list”, “Acceptance criteria per story” and “Edge cases”.

About: When a backlog is prioritised by whoever argues loudest, the most valuable work waits. This skill scores each item with RICE — reach, impact, confidence and effort — filling gaps with clearly marked estimates and asking only when a missing number would change the ranking. It shows the calculation for every score, ranks the list, separates quick wins from big bets and points out scores that rest on weak assumptions. The value isn't the number itself; it's the conversation about assumptions that the scoring forces. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a list of backlog items with whatever you know about reach, impact, confidence and effort.

# Skill: Competitive feature matrix
You are running the "Competitive feature matrix" skill for me. I work as: Product manager. What I need from you: a feature matrix with parity, gaps and differentiators, and what to build or ignore.
## When I send you my feature list and competitors' public feature or pricing pages (pasted text)
1. Build a matrix of features by competitor.
2. Mark parity, gaps and unique features.
3. Separate table-stakes from differentiators.
4. Recommend where to invest and where to stay behind deliberately.
## Reply in this format
- Matrix
- Table stakes we lack
- Our differentiators
- Recommendations
## Rules
- Only use the pasted text; mark 'unknown' rather than guessing.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send my feature list and competitors' public feature or pricing pages (pasted text).
## Example
Input: Our expense app vs Zoho Expense and Happay (pricing pages pasted)
Output (first lines):
> Table stakes we lack: corporate card reconciliation.
> Differentiator: WhatsApp receipt capture — nobody else has it.
> Stay behind on: travel booking (low demand in our segment).

About: New users drop out during onboarding and teams can't tell which step to fix. This skill maps your onboarding step by step, measures how long it takes to reach first value, and flags friction: unnecessary fields, early sign-up walls, choice overload and unclear value. Every issue is linked to a behavioural principle such as cognitive load, the goal-gradient effect or the default effect, with a fix and its likely impact. It's the same lens Science of Apps uses in its behavioural UX audits, packed into one paste. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send each onboarding step described (screen, fields, copy, buttons) and drop-off rates if you have them.

About: Pricing tiers copied from a competitor rarely match how your customers get value. This skill picks a value metric that grows with the value customers receive — seats, chairs, projects or transactions — and designs two or three tiers around customer segments rather than feature lists. Each tier gets a price, limits, key features and a clear upgrade trigger, and you get tests to validate willingness to pay. It refuses fake 'was' prices and decoy tiers designed to mislead. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your product, customer segments, current price, competitor prices and how customers use it; the reply opens with “Value metric”.

About: Teams ship features without knowing which number they're supposed to move. This skill proposes a North Star metric for your product and explains why, then breaks it down into input metrics that multiply or add up to it. Each branch is mapped to the team or lever that moves it, with leading indicators you can watch weekly. The tree makes trade-offs visible and helps every team explain how its work connects to the outcome the company cares about. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your product, business model and the outcome that matters most; the reply is laid out as “North Star”, “Tree” and “Owner per branch”.

About: Replies to upset customers tend to come out robotic or over-apologetic, and the issue drags on. This skill identifies what the customer feels and what they're actually asking for, then writes a reply under 120 words that acknowledges the feeling specifically, answers clearly, states the next step and when it happens. It offers only what your policy allows and never promises refunds or timelines you didn't give it. It also adds an internal note for your team, so the root cause gets fixed and not just the ticket. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the customer's message, your policy or the facts of the case, and what you can offer.

About: When nobody sorts the queue, urgent tickets wait behind easy ones. This skill assigns each ticket a category from your list, a priority from P1 to P4 based on impact and urgency, a sentiment and churn-risk tag, the team it should go to and a macro if one fits. Anything mentioning safety, legal action, fraud or a data breach is automatically treated as P1 and flagged for a person. Run it on the morning backlog and your team starts the day on the tickets that matter most. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a batch of ticket subjects and first messages (anonymised) and your category list.

About: Refund, return and warranty policies confuse customers, and agents explain them inconsistently. This skill finds the clause that applies to the customer's exact situation, quotes it, and explains it in plain words with the dates and amounts that matter.

It never stretches the policy, which keeps answers consistent across agents and defensible if a complaint escalates. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the policy text and the customer's situation; the reply is laid out as “Applies: clause”, “Explanation for the customer” and “Next steps”.

About: Customer bug reports are vague, so engineers can't reproduce them and tickets go stale. This skill rewrites a report in the format engineers need: a clear title naming the component, what breaks and when, the environment, numbered steps to reproduce, expected versus actual behaviour and a suggested severity. It lists the information still missing so the agent can ask the customer once, not three times. Better reports get fixed sooner, which customers notice. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the customer's description, device or browser details and any screenshots described; the reply is laid out as “Title”, “Environment” and “Steps to reproduce”.

About: Customers write in Hindi, Tamil or Hinglish and get replies in stiff English, which feels distant. This skill detects the language and register of the message, then writes a natural reply in the same language rather than a word-for-word translation, keeping product names, amounts and dates exact. It also gives an English version for your ticket record. For legal or financial wording it recommends a check by a native speaker before sending. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the customer's message and your answer (in English); the reply is laid out as “Detected language and register”, “Reply” and “English version”.

About: Ticket quality reviews are often subjective, and feedback to agents ends up vague. This skill scores a resolved ticket on accuracy, resolution, tone, efficiency and policy compliance, quoting the lines behind each score. It writes two strengths and one coaching point, and rewrites the weakest message as an example of a better version. Using the same rubric every time makes reviews fair, and agents improve faster when feedback is specific. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a resolved ticket thread and your QA rubric (or use a standard one); the reply is laid out as “Scorecard”, “Evidence” and “Strengths”.

About: Monthly budget-versus-actual packs need commentary on every material line, and writing it can take a day. This skill computes each variance in amount and percentage, marks it favourable or unfavourable, flags lines above a materiality threshold and writes commentary using the notes you provide. Where it doesn't know the driver, it writes 'driver to confirm' rather than inventing one. You get a three-sentence summary of the month and a list of unexplained variances to chase before the pack goes out. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a budget vs actual table (line item, budget, actual) and any notes on what happened this month; the reply opens with “Summary”.

About: Cash crunches arrive as surprises when nobody forecasts weekly. This skill lays out a 13-week cash-flow forecast — opening cash, receipts, payments, net flow and closing cash — places each item you give it in the right week and flags weeks where cash falls below your minimum buffer. Committed items are kept separate from estimates. It also gives the spreadsheet formulas to roll the forecast forward each week and suggests actions, such as invoicing early, to fix a low-cash week before it arrives. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send opening cash balance, expected receipts and payments (amounts and timing), and recurring costs; the reply opens with “Forecast table”.

About: Invoices with wrong tax, broken arithmetic or missing details get paid and cause problems at reconciliation or filing time. This skill checks the required fields, recomputes every line and total, verifies that CGST and SGST or IGST match the place of supply and compares the total with your purchase order. You get a pass or fail verdict, the exact errors and questions for the supplier. It's a check, not tax advice — doubtful cases go to your chartered accountant. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the invoice text (or line items, tax rates and totals) and the PO or agreed amount if you have it.

Each includes payment details and an easy way to pay. Late fees are only mentioned if your contract has them, and it never threatens legal action you haven't decided to take. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the invoice number, amount, due date, client and your relationship; the reply opens with “Five reminders with subject lines”.

About: Annual budgets often start from last year plus ten percent instead of what the plan actually needs. This skill builds a bottom-up budget from your drivers — headcount, tools, campaigns and projects — phases each line by month, separates fixed from variable costs and lists the assumptions and the three biggest risks. Because every line traces back to a driver, you can see immediately what changes when a hire slips or a project is cut. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your goals for the year, headcount plan, current costs and known projects; the reply opens with “Budget table by line and quarter”.

About: Year-end audits drag on when documents are found one request at a time. This skill builds a checklist by area — cash, receivables, payables, fixed assets, payroll, tax and equity — with the reconciliations auditors expect, owners and due dates worked back from the audit start date. It flags the gaps auditors commonly find. Requirements differ by country and auditor, so it reminds you to confirm the list with your audit firm before you start. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your company type, country, year-end date and main accounts; the reply is laid out as “Checklist by area: item, owner, due, status”, “Reconciliations” and “Common gaps”.

# Operations & project management
Source: https://scienceofapps.com/skills/operations/meeting-minutes-with-owners/
About: Meetings that end without written decisions lead to forgotten actions and disputes about what was agreed. This skill turns a transcript or rough notes into minutes: a three-line summary for people who weren't there, the decisions made, every action item with an owner and a due date, open questions and the next meeting. Where the notes don't name an owner or a date, it writes 'owner?' or 'date?' instead of assigning one, so gaps get resolved rather than hidden. Send the minutes within the hour and accountability follows. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a meeting transcript or rough notes, and the attendees; the reply opens with “Summary”.

About: Project risks are usually discussed once at kickoff and then forgotten until they happen. This skill identifies risks across scope, schedule, people, vendors, technology and compliance, rates each one's likelihood and impact from one to five, and gives it a score, an owner, a mitigation and a trigger — the observable sign that the risk is materialising. The top three to watch are called out. Review the register weekly and risks become managed work instead of surprises. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the project description, timeline, dependencies and anything that worries you; the reply opens with “Register table: risk, L, I, score, owner, mitigation, trigger”.

About: Choosing a vendor turns into a debate when options aren't compared on the same criteria. This skill converts your priorities into weighted criteria, scores each vendor from one to five with reasons, computes weighted totals and total cost of ownership over three years, and recommends one — showing the maths and marking scores that rest on assumptions. It also lists what to negotiate with the winner. The comparison makes the decision transparent to finance and leadership. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the vendors, their quotes or features, and what matters to you; the reply is laid out as “Criteria and weights”, “Scoring table” and “Total cost of ownership”.

About: Building a weekly roster around availability, coverage rules and fairness takes hours. This skill assigns shifts to meet coverage, respects availability, maximum hours and rest periods between shifts, and spreads weekend and late shifts fairly.

# Skill: Shift schedule planner
You are running the "Shift schedule planner" skill for me. I work as: Operations / store manager. What I need from you: a weekly roster that meets coverage needs and availability, with conflicts flagged.
## When I send you staff names (or IDs), availability, coverage needed per shift and rules (max hours, rest)
1. Assign shifts to meet coverage.
2. Respect availability, maximum hours and rest between shifts.
3. Spread weekends and late shifts fairly.
4. Flag gaps that can't be filled.
## Reply in this format
- Roster table: day × shift
- Hours per person
- Unfilled gaps
- Rule checks
## Rules
- Never break a stated rule; leave the gap and flag it.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.
Confirm you're ready in one line, then wait for me to send staff names (or IDs), availability, coverage needed per shift and rules (max hours, rest).
## Example
Input: 8 staff, 2 shifts/day, need 3 per shift, max 48 h/week, 11 h rest between shifts
Output (first lines):
> Mon AM: A, B, C · Mon PM: D, E, F

About: Basic IT problems eat an IT team's day because users can't follow generic fixes. This skill gives step-by-step troubleshooting for the user's exact device and operating system, ordered from least to most disruptive, with what they should see after each step. It says when to stop and escalate and what information to send IT. It never suggests disabling security software or sharing passwords, so it's safe to hand directly to non-technical colleagues. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the problem, the device and operating system, and what's been tried; the reply is laid out as “Likely cause”, “Steps” and “Escalate if”.

About: Generative AI makes phishing emails fluent and personal, so the old tell-tale spelling mistakes are gone. This skill checks a suspicious email's sender domain against the organisation it claims to be, and looks for urgency, payment or credential requests, mismatched links and odd attachments. It gives a verdict — likely phishing, suspicious or likely genuine — the red flags it found and exactly what to do. It never tells anyone to click a link to check, and always points to verifying through an official channel. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the suspicious email: sender address, subject, body and link text (don't click the links); the reply opens with “Verdict”.

About: Interview feedback like 'good vibe' makes hiring decisions biased and hard to defend. This skill maps your interview notes to the competencies you're hiring for, quotes the evidence behind each score and flags competencies with no evidence so the next round can cover them.

This skill writes a clear message that leads with what's changing and when, explains why in two sentences, spells out what it means for each affected group, and ends with where to ask questions. It adds an FAQ and talking points for managers, and says plainly when something is a reduction rather than dressing it up. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send what's changing, why, when it takes effect and who's affected; the reply is laid out as “Subject line”, “Announcement” and “What it means for you”.

About: When pay is set deal by deal, unfair gaps open up between people in the same role. This skill builds pay bands by level from the market data you provide — a minimum, midpoint and maximum around your target percentile — and shows where current salaries fall. It flags people below the band minimum and gaps that look unexplained, so they can be reviewed for a job-related reason. It never invents salary benchmarks; the quality of the bands depends on the data you bring. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send your levels, current salaries by level (anonymised) and market data you have (survey, published ranges).

# Design & UX

About: Design reviews often become opinion fights while real usability problems ship anyway. This skill walks your screen or flow as a first-time user with a goal, then lists issues mapped to Nielsen's ten heuristics and the laws of UX, rated on Nielsen's zero-to-four severity scale with a concrete fix for each. It frames every finding as a hypothesis to test with real users, because an AI can't see your users. It's the same evidence-based lens Science of Apps applies in its behavioural UX audits. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a description of the screen or flow (elements, copy, states) or a list of what happens step by step.

# Skill: Heuristic UX review
You are running the "Heuristic UX review" skill for me. I work as: Product / UX designer. What I need from you: usability issues mapped to Nielsen's 10 heuristics and the laws of UX, rated by severity, with fixes.
## When I send you a description of the screen or flow (elements, copy, states) or a list of what happens step by step
1. Walk the screen as a first-time user with a goal.
2. Find issues and map each to a heuristic or UX law.
3. Rate severity 0–4 (Nielsen's scale).
4. Suggest a concrete fix for each.
## Reply in this format
- User goal assumed
- Issues table: issue, heuristic / law, severity, fix
- Top three fixes
- What to test with real users
## Rules
- Name the principle behind every issue.
- Frame findings as hypotheses to test, not facts about users.
- Use only the facts I give you; mark anything you had to assume with [ASSUMPTION].
- If something essential is missing, ask me one short question, then continue.
- No preamble or filler: start with the result.

## Example
Input: Checkout: 14 form fields on one screen, coupon box above the pay button, error messages only after submit
Output (first lines):
> Coupon box above Pay — invites leaving to hunt for codes (goal-gradient interruption) — severity 3
> Errors only after submit — error prevention heuristic — severity 3 → validate inline
> 14 fields — cognitive load — severity 2 → autofill address from PIN code

About: Buttons, empty states and error messages are usually written last, and they're where users get confused. This skill writes microcopy for every state of a component: button labels that say what will happen, helper and placeholder text, error messages that explain what went wrong and how to fix it, and empty, loading and success states. Errors never blame the user, and character counts are shown so copy fits the design. It also offers alternatives for the main call to action. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send the screen or component, what the user is trying to do and the states it has.

About: Accessibility problems are usually discovered late, by people who can't use the product. This skill checks HTML or a detailed screen description for contrast, text alternatives, labels, focus order, keyboard access, target size and motion, maps each issue to a WCAG 2.2 success criterion and level, and gives the fix — calculating contrast ratios when you provide colours. It's honest about what can't be judged from text and lists the manual tests, such as a screen-reader pass, that you still need to run. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send HTML code or a detailed description of a screen (colours, sizes, labels, interactions).
