Why is this a skill? It should be an output setting, so you can just set your output to this, and that's it. You don't have to run the skill every time. Go into settings and look up outputs, and just set it up there. As a skill, it's worthless.

You think that they communicate? I just assumed they sent each other output of Claude, which is then fed into Claude
Ohh lol :D So Anthropic is a company of copy-pasters
No no no that's too reductive - instead, they transition all data through a transformer using SOTA systems to launder away technical, legal and interpersonal concerns before a stochastic output is dynamically placed in a predetermined location.
This is a very high level and high velocity process, so meatspace thinkers sometimes have trouble understanding some of the intracacies. Ask Claude to explain the process or make you a Mermaid graph to help.

#154> A skill to stop your coding agent from burying the answer This is just an annoying thing for anyone. It gives a 10 page dissertation that sums up to, "it's good, nothing to worry about".
I agree -- the name of this plugin is confusing and confused.
The skill simply demands concise and well-formatted responses from an agent. It is something demanded by anybody daily-driving agents for their actual job since >75% of the text output from agents is fluff. THis would better be named `/i-wont-read-that-heap-of-garbage`

#155>explain like I have executive dysfunction This is true. Transformer has several orders of magnitude more working memory than any human. Compared to transformer we all have executive dysfunction. By default they explain things assuming I have infinite processing bandwidth. I do not! I have several zeroes less than they do.
Pretty much this. I actually find this more annoying than the way it writes, but that is also annoying as well.

#156Let's face it. Claude (in particular) is a terrible writer. There's a whole cottage industry of skills and CLAUDE.md instructions trying to push it toward writing better, but each new model iteration seems expressly designed to override all that so that it can load up its writing with unnecessary participle phrases, not-this-but-thats, burying the lede, and other nonsense. I genuinely wonder if the people inside Anth…
They're clearly training on SEO sites that use these strategies to pad out with filler and create space for more ad impressions. They normalize this structure now and the ad copy will be inserted in the future so the frogs won't realize they're already being boiled.

#157You can get the same result by appending to your prompt "Avoid verbosity. Assume ADHD.".
My understanding is that's basically all this does.
Thousands of lines of text just to add one sentence to the prompt.

Always good to be paranoid. Even MCPs are not safe. For example Notion injected ads [1] to its official MCP connector to advertise products mid-task. [1]: https://old.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1w9dluw/notions_o...
MCP is SOAP-XML without the contract or formal language, it's hilarious
Nothing new under the sun

Not just imprinted with the engrams of any one person (however brilliant they might be) — it’s more than that! Like all great writing, it’s more like it’s been imbued with patterns, patterns that are peppered with a potpourri of popular ways of writing in an enthusiastic style while regularly restating things and recapitulating them. Would you like me to explain more?
