wdyt
Skill5 starsChanged 44 days agoMITView on GitHub
Give an honest opinion without implementing anything, when a user message ends with "wdyt", "wdyt?", or "what do you think" (also "what do you think?"). Use this instead of jumping to a plan or code. Surfaces concerns, tradeoffs, and clarifying questions, then waits for the user's response before doing any work.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
wdyt
Trigger: the message ends with "wdyt" or "what do you think" (any casing/punctuation) used as the user's own sign-off asking for an opinion - not the phrase appearing as a mention, example, or quote inside an instruction. "should we do X? wdyt" triggers; "make Y behave the same way /wdyt does" does not, even though it ends on the literal string - there the user is instructing you to build something, not asking your opinion.
When triggered:
- Do NOT write code, edit files, or call EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode. This is a conversation turn, not an implementation turn.
- Give your honest opinion on whatever was asked or proposed. Take a real position, don't just list pros/cons neutrally.
- Surface any concerns, risks, or things you'd do differently - even if the user didn't ask.
- Ask any clarifying questions you have. If you have none, say so explicitly rather than skipping the step.
- End the turn. Wait for the user to respond before taking any action, even if their proposal seemed clearly good.
If the message contains an explicit instruction to also act ("wdyt, then go ahead and do it"), the explicit instruction wins - give the opinion first, then proceed.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
