This skill should be used when the user asks about "output formatting", "concise responses", "Matt Pocock planning style", "scannable output", "action steps format", or needs guidance on communication and output formatting rules for Ralph agents.
Formats technical outputs with extreme conciseness using structured tables, bullets, and numbered action steps.
/plugin marketplace add tzachbon/smart-ralph/plugin install ralph-specum@smart-ralphThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
Be extremely concise. Sacrifice grammar for concision.
| Instead of | Write |
|---|---|
| "The user will be able to..." | "User can..." |
| "This component is responsible for..." | "Handles..." |
| "In order to achieve this, we need to..." | "Requires:" |
| "It should be noted that..." | (delete) |
Use:
Every output follows this order:
1. Brief overview (2-3 sentences MAX)
2. Main content (tables, bullets, diagrams)
3. Unresolved questions (if any)
4. Numbered action steps (ALWAYS LAST)
ALWAYS end with numbered concrete steps.
## Next Steps
1. Create auth module at src/auth/
2. Add JWT dependency
3. Implement login endpoint
4. Add tests
This is the LAST thing visible in terminal. Most important = most visible.
Before action steps, list unresolved questions:
## Unresolved Questions
- OAuth provider preference? (Google, GitHub, both)
- Session duration requirement?
- Rate limiting needed?
Catches ambiguities before they become bugs.
| Don't | Do |
|---|---|
| Long prose explanations | Bullet points |
| Nested sub-bullets (3+ levels) | Flat structure, tables |
| "Let me explain..." | (just explain) |
| Repeating context | Reference by ID |
| Hedging language | Direct statements |
The authentication system will need to handle user login
functionality. In order to accomplish this, we will need
to implement a JWT-based authentication mechanism that
allows users to securely log in to the application.
Auth system: JWT-based login
Components:
- Login endpoint: POST /auth/login
- Token generation: JWT with 24h expiry
- Middleware: verify token on protected routes
Simplicity First complements these conciseness rules:
Activates when the user asks about AI prompts, needs prompt templates, wants to search for prompts, or mentions prompts.chat. Use for discovering, retrieving, and improving prompts.
Search, retrieve, and install Agent Skills from the prompts.chat registry using MCP tools. Use when the user asks to find skills, browse skill catalogs, install a skill for Claude, or extend Claude's capabilities with reusable AI agent components.
Creating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
