README
talk-skills
Stop reading paragraphs. Start reading answers.
Small skills that change how your coding agent talks to you. Take one. Take three. Take none of the rest.
The problem
You asked a one-line question. You got six paragraphs.
Somewhere in there is the answer. Before it: a warm-up sentence you did not need. After it: a recap of what you just read, then a question asking whether you want it to continue. You scroll back up. You still do not know which command to run.
That is not a model problem. That is a format problem. And a format problem has a fix.
`/quick` - the fix
One skill. It changes the shape of every answer.
| The frustration | What /quick does |
|---|---|
| The answer is buried in paragraph four | First line is the answer or the action. Nothing before it. |
| "Great question! Let me explain..." | No preamble. It starts at the answer. |
| A recap of what it just told you | No recap. It stops when it is done. |
| "Would you like me to continue?" | No closing question. It just answers. |
| "This might take a bit of work" | "15 minutes." Real numbers, or nothing. |
| Twelve options when you wanted three | Lists cap at five. /quick 3 ... gives exactly three. |
| Steps mixed into prose | Numbered steps. One action |
