SKILL.md

Before writing, read all files in the references/ directory inside this skill to absorb the tone, rhythm, and structure of existing scripts. Use those as your style guide, not this description.

Rules

  • Start with a hook that subverts an assumption the audience already has — the pattern is "everyone thinks or does X, but what they don't know is Y". Don't use those exact words every time, but keep that contrast
  • One idea per line, short and punchy
  • No punctuation at the end of lines
  • Lowercase throughout
  • Name the tool or product mid-script, not in the opening line
  • Give an honest take on any limitations or annoying things
  • End with "subscribe for more" and a short relevant sign-off
  • No section headers — one flowing script

Output

Write the script directly. Create a new directory named after the topic inside the user's current working directory and save the script as a .md file inside it.
