How to ask with this skill installed
Installing the skill gives your AI a method. Your request still has to provide the case-specific facts, constraints and expected output.
1Name the real task
Describe the decision or deliverable, not just the topic.
2Provide the evidence
Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
3Define done
Set format, quality criteria and checks.
Adaptable starting prompt
Replace the brackets with your case
What you need first
Provide:
- Client name and context
- What they want to achieve (broad vision)
- Timeline available
- Session frequency preference
- Key constraints (time, budget, external commitments)
- What they've already tried
Mistakes to avoid
- Starting without assessment: Building a roadmap on assumptions = wrong priorities
- Too many goals: Focus on 1-3 max — coaching is not a to-do list
- No milestones: Without checkpoints, clients lose momentum
- Ignoring setbacks: Life happens — roadmap must flex, not break
- No metrics: If you can't measure it, you can't improve it
