pyramid-email
Skill6 starsChanged 8 months agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Write, rewrite, and pressure-test any outbound message so the reader knows the ask in sentence one — using Barbara Minto's Pyramid Principle (answer first, MECE supports, verified proof below) and a simulated-recipient Executive Test. Use for emails, Slack messages, texts, memos, board and investor updates, status reports, cold outreach, follow-ups, asks, declines, bad news, and partner comms. Trigger on "write/draft an email", "rewrite this", "tighten this", "make this clearer/shorter", "punch this up", "does this land", "BLUF this", "pyramid principle", "MECE", "SCQ", "executive test", "what's my subject line", or any time the user pastes a draft and wants it better. Also trigger proactively whenever the user composes a message carrying an ask, a decision, or money. This skill writes one message at a time; it is not for batch inbox triage. Do NOT use for speeches, keynotes, sermons, VSLs, or talk tracks — spoken persuasion needs story shape, not answer-first; route those to gatena-speech-writer.

No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 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.

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.
