be-ambitious skill hits GitHub: rewrite prompts into expert-level tasks via four questions

daniel_mac8 · x · 2026-10-16

DannyMac8 open-sourced the /be-ambitious skill on GitHub, adapted from a Felix Rieseberg (Anthropic) prompt. Given a task, the skill asks four questions — what a top professional would do, the rawest material they'd start from, the specific methods/tools they'd use, and what would prove the result right — then rewrites your prompt to ask for exactly that (a deeper task, not a bigger one) and pauses for review. Install by copying be-ambitious/ into your agent's skills directory (/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code) or pointing your agent at the repo.
