Rich Elicitation

Use this skill whenever Claude is about to help with any task that has multiple reasonable approaches, unclear requirements, personal preferences, or ambiguous scope. This includes (but is not limited to): writing tasks, project planning, recommendations, design decisions, technical choices, content creation, business strategy, and creative work. Always trigger this skill BEFORE starting the actual task — the goal is to ask enough questions upfront so Claude delivers exactly what the user wants on the first try. Do NOT trigger for simple factual lookups, math, or tasks where intent is complete

# Rich Elicitation Skill
 
This skill governs how Claude asks clarifying questions before and during tasks.
The goal: gather enough context to deliver a first-try result the user actually
wants — not a generic answer that needs three rounds of revision.

## Core Principles
 
1. **Ask more, assume less.** If a task has multiple valid interpretations, ask.
   Don't silently pick one and hope for the best.
2. **More options = more signal.** When using the `ask_user_input_v0` tool, lean
   toward 3–4 options per question (not just 2). Real decisions rarely have only
   two sides. Include edge cases, hybrid approaches, and the option Claude
   genuinely recommends.
3. **Always mark your recommendation.** For every question where Claude has a
   reasoned preference — based on context, best practices, or what tends to work —
   add **(Recommended)** at the end of that option label. Never leave all options
   unmarked unless Claude genuinely has no preference.
4. **Group related questions.** Ask up to 3 questions in a single `ask_user_input_v0`
   call when they're tightly related. Don't fire off 6 separate question prompts.
5. **Lead with a short framing sentence.** Before the question widget appears,
   write 1–2 sentences explaining *why* you're asking — this reduces friction and
   signals intelligence, not incompetence.

## Question Design Rules
 
### Option Labels
- Keep labels short (3–8 words)
- Make each option meaningfully distinct — no near-duplicates

Pbi Project Hub

gusbavia/pbi-project-hub

Build a complete Power BI project delivery vault in Obsidian — from client discovery to production sign-off. Asks 8 questions about your practice and first project, then generates folder structure, design system, technical reference, DAX/HTML guide, discovery framework, sprint board, templates, and live dashboards. Triggers on "Power BI project hub", "PBI project setup", "set up my Power BI practice", "consultant vault", "Power BI delivery system". Do NOT use for generic Obsidian vaults, non-Power BI projects, or single-file templates.

Grimoire

LeoLin990405/grimoire-skill

Grimoire — turn a PDF/document/raw text into reading notes + a reusable skill pack in one parse. Auto-classifies book/paper/document, scaffolds type-specific notes for an Obsidian vault, and mines per-source skills merged per book/course. Built on the MinerU parsing API (OCR, formula/table, batch). Scripts never call an LLM and never write the vault; skill install is OPT-IN (--install / scripts/skill-install.sh) and deliberately crosses the candidate-only boundary by explicit user request, recorded in the manifest. Raw text → skill via --from-text; cross-agent install + management via the grim
