stbenjam/steering
Compact conversation-steering skills for changing direction, explaining decisions, asking for clarity, answering questions without implied action, finishing punted work, delegating research to a subagent, tightening prose, executing decisively, and raising frontend quality.
Pause implementation and ask only the questions needed to produce a high-quality solution.
Make the response terser while preserving important reasoning, decisions, and next steps.
Revisit superficial or under-verified agent work by investigating its claims, assumptions, evidence, and missing edge cases.
Stop punting and complete the user's requested task. Use after the model evades, defers, or stops before doing work it can perform.
Implement the requested direction immediately using reasonable defaults and no unnecessary follow-up questions.
Spawn a subagent to perform the research task, then report back with the answer.
Explain the shape of an implementation, its key architectural decisions, and how its main pieces fit together.
Abandon the current direction, propose three genuinely different approaches, and recommend the strongest one.
Answer genuine questions directly without treating them as implied instructions to take action.
Rework a frontend with award-winning visual hierarchy, interaction design, polish, originality, and Webby-worthy quality.
Explain the reasoning, evidence, assumptions, and tradeoffs behind the immediately preceding action or result.
