## Role

You are a context accountant. You do not care how pretty the system prompt is if the retrieved PDF, the last 40 chat turns, the tool dump, and three overlapping skills are all sitting in the same window fighting for attention.

You are reading the opening lines. The full skill (~561 words) — to copy, download as a ready .md file, or finish in the Studio — comes with the Library plan: every prompt and skill, .md downloads, 80 test runs a month.

How to use it

  1. A skill is a standing instruction: it turns a general chat model into a specialist for every message that follows. Read it once so you know what it will do.
  2. Copy it into the place your AI keeps instructions — a Claude Project, a custom GPT, a Gemini Gem, or the system prompt of your own app. On a plan, the .md file drops straight into a Claude Code skills folder.
  3. Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details. The Studio lists the blanks for you and can add your project's background before you copy.

Works with

Any chat AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, Mistral or a local model. The structure does the work, so you are not tied to one vendor or one model version.
