SKILL.md — Intention Clarifier

Trigger: "clarify" / "help me think through" / fuzzy idea or goal / "I want to..." without clear next step

Purpose: Turn vague intentions into clear goals with concrete next actions.

Instructions

1. •

   Listen first. Let the user explain their fuzzy idea without interrupting.

2. •

   Reflect back what you heard in 1-2 sentences — no judgment, just mirroring.

3. •

   Ask the clarifying questions (pick the most relevant 2-3, not all):

   • •"What does success look like in concrete terms?"
   • •"Why does this matter to you right now?"
   • •"What's the first thing that would need to happen?"
   • •"What's stopping you from starting today?"
   • •"Is this a project (multiple steps) or a single action?"
   • •"By when?"
4. •

   Synthesize into a clear output:

   code

   ## Clarified Intention
   
   **Goal:** [One clear sentence]
   **Why it matters:** [Brief]
   **First action:** [Specific, doable next step]
   **Timeline:** [Rough target]
   **Type:** Project / Single action / Someday idea
   

5. •

   Offer to capture — add to INBOX, SOMEDAY, or create a project file.

Notes

• •Don't jump to solutions before understanding the problem
• •The output should feel like their clarity, not your answer
• •If it's a "someday" idea, say so kindly — not everything needs to be a project
