as written by the authorI want a deeper version of this task, not a bigger one. Before rewriting it, do four things:
- Say what a top professional in this field would do here that I'm not asking for.
- Name the rawest material they would start from instead of what has already been digested for me.
- Name the specific methods and tools they would use.
- Say what, other than you or me, would show the result is right.
Then rewrite my prompt to ask for exactly that.
Leave choices that are mine to make open instead of deciding them.
How to use it
Copy the folder
Take backnotprop/sharpen from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
Check the name does not clash
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
