Alternatives

  • Write story chapters from an approved outlineThis skill writes fiction chapters in an outline-first order. It gathers context for the chapter with a story command-line tool that keeps later chapters out and stays within a token budget, builds a scene-by-scene outline for your approval, and only then writes the full prose. Afterward it records scene dates, continuity state and setups planted or paid off, and rebuilds the project's registries. It expects a story bible plus a character file or more, and ideally a plot structure, and it passes line editing to a companion skill.General assistantFictionWriting
  • Make animated GIFs for SlackThis skill makes animated GIFs that fit Slack, at emoji or message size, with frame rate, color, and length limits. It draws frames from shapes or a provided image, saves an optimized file, and checks it against Slack's limits.General assistantSlackImages
  • Run an OODA loop on an unclear decisionneurofoo's ooda skill runs an OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop: gather facts, name causes, list options and produce a verified implementation plan for unclear or complex decisions.General assistantoodadecisions

  • Write optimized prompts for a named AI toolThis skill writes one ready-to-paste prompt for a named AI tool, such as an LLM, Cursor, Midjourney, or a video generator. It confirms the target tool when that is unclear, pulls the task, output format, constraints, and audience out of a rough idea, and asks at most three clarifying questions. It prefers simple techniques over those that raise the risk of invented content, and never asks a model to reveal hidden reasoning. The result is a single prompt block with a one-line note on what was optimized.General assistantPrompting
