Using a skill

These are named skills from the Plaibook workflow. Copying a trigger does not install a skill: the matching skill or agent must already be available in your coding assistant. Read the description before running it.

Need an example you can read first? The mistake board below includes prompts and the lessons that led to these skills.

The board

Every mistake. Graded by what it cost.

Real ways AI wasted my time, and the skill that now stops each one. An F cost me a day. An A cost me a coffee. Both are on the board.

Said nuke three times in an hour, got asked for GO every time

The word was the order. The agent kept treating it as a question.

What fixed it

The skill now says it in its own header: the word nuke IS the GO. No confirmation, no summary, no wait.

What it cost

Three rounds of pre-flight reads and nothing removed. An hour spent authorising a thing already authorised.

The stack

Claude Code/nuke

Steal the prompt

When I say nuke, that is the authorization. Do the pre-flight reads, execute in the same turn, then report. Never ask me to confirm. The only stop is a live session in the folder.
