os-say-simple
From the author
ALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks for simpler or shorter about something said or written - "say it simply", "what does this mean", "I don't understand your answer", "too long", "wait, what?", "bro" - in any language, about any text: your own answer, a report, a review comment, an error. "I don't understand what to DO" is os-step-by-step; this skill restates text. It restates for a reader who does not read code: leads with the point, keeps every number, warning and caveat - no facts added, no bad news dropped. A number returns exactly that many points, most important first.

- os-step-by-stepkharmanskyi/open-stepsALWAYS invoke this skill when you need the user to act - run a command, paste a secret, click, approve - and whenever they ask how to do something or say they do not know what to do: "step by step", "walk me through it", "what do I do", "what should I do", "I don't understand what to do", "explain what I need to do", in any language. Picking which task comes next is os-whats-next; this skill is for doing the thing in front of you. First earn the ask: try it yourself, find another route, shrink it to the part only they can do. Then one action per step, commands labelled by what they touch, no jargon. Commands are single lines that prompt for any value - typing hidden for secrets - and confirm in plain words. Afterwards verify their step.Productivity★ 1.1K
- os-whats-nextkharmanskyi/open-stepsALWAYS invoke this skill when the user asks what to do next, what is left, or what is blocked - "what's next", "what now", "what should we work on", "anything I can do" - in any language. This skill picks the next piece of work; when the user asks HOW to do a thing or says they do not understand what to do, that is os-step-by-step. Reads the last report, local changes, open pull requests and always the backlog. First finishes what is finished: verified-ready pull requests merge in the same pass. Then sorts the rest into doable-alone and needs-you, ending with one recommended next task in plain words - what it closes or unblocks. Never invents tasks.Productivity★ 1.1K
- os-ask-simplekharmanskyi/open-stepsALWAYS invoke this skill before asking the user any technical question or offering options, and whenever they ask to be asked in plain words - "ask simple", "ask me simply", "ask me in plain words" - in any language. ALWAYS invoke it too when the user asks for your view on a technical choice: whether it is worth doing, more than the problem needs, or replaceable by something simpler, and which option you would take. Invoke it even when the code makes the answer look obvious: the checks are what make the answer more than a guess. Rewrites the question in plain words and always ends with one marked recommendation. A structural choice first passes six checks, shown as a table: effort now, simpler substitute, extra work later, lock-in, over-engineering, easy to undo. Doing nothing is always weighed.Engineering★ 1.1K
- simplifyfcakyon/claude-codex-settingsThis skill should be used when the user asks to "simplify", "clean up the diff", "run simplify", "simplify the changes", "review changed code for cleanup", explicitly invokes "/simplify", or asks to "commit without simplify", "skip simplify for this commit", or "commit this but skip simplify". Reviews changed code across reuse, simplification, efficiency, and altitude, or grants an explicit one-commit bypass. Not for correctness bugs.Engineering★ 1.2K
- explain-simplymohitagw15856/pm-claude-skillsExplain anything in plain language — a contract clause, a medical term, a tax rule, a tech acronym, a news story — layered from a one-liner to as much depth as you want. Use when asked to explain like I'm 5, explain this simply, break this down in plain English, or what does this even mean. Produces the one-sentence version, a plain-language explanation with a concrete analogy, the 'why it matters to you,' and an honest note on anything genuinely uncertain or oversimplified.Science★ 1.5K
- os-done-or-notkharmanskyi/open-stepsALWAYS invoke this skill when work wraps up or the user asks how it went - "done or not", "are we done", "what happened", "report", "what's the status of this ticket" - in any language, and when a Stop hook asks for a session report. Produces a ten-line plain- language report: a lead, a checkmark table, and a verdict - fully done, anything needed from you, new debt, safe to close. Every "yes" names its proof; unverified says "not checked". Saves the report so the next session starts from it instead of re-exploring the repo.Other★ 1.1K
