Global Skill Prompt

# Global Skill Extraction Prompt

**Where to use:** A brand new chat at https://claude.ai/new, with Claude 
Fable 5 selected as the model.

**Why "no memory":** This ensures the demonstration reflects Fable's raw, 
unprimed reasoning style, not something shaped by your prior conversations.

## Prompt

\`\`\`
Important: Do not use any previous conversation history, memory, or saved 
context from past sessions. Treat this as a completely fresh, isolated 
session with no prior knowledge of me, my projects, or past conversations.

I want you to demonstrate your general approach to a non-trivial coding 
task, then convert that approach into a reusable skill file.

Step 1: Pick a moderately complex, self-contained coding task (e.g., 
refactoring a small multi-file module, or implementing a feature with 
tests) as a demonstration. As you work, explicitly narrate:
1. How you break the task into phases
2. What you check before moving from one phase to the next
3. How you verify your own work before considering it done
4. What you do when you find an error or inconsistency

Step 2: After finishing, write a SKILL.md file that captures this workflow 
in a way that is GENERAL and portable - not tied to this specific task, 
language, or codebase. It should be usable by a less capable model on any 
coding project.

Format requirements:
- Start with YAML frontmatter containing "name" and "description" fields
- Follow with clear markdown sections (numbered phases, not narrative prose)
- Include a concrete self-verification checklist
- Include guidance on when to write tests vs. manually re-check
- Keep it codebase-agnostic - no references to specific file names, 
  languages, or frameworks from your demo task

Output only the final SKILL.md content in a code block at the end.

## After running
Save the resulting SKILL.md to:
