Open-source Claude Code skill /be-ambitious rewrites your prompts to go deeper, not bigger

Developer DannyMac released an open-source Claude Code skill, /be-ambitious (adapted from a prompt shared by Anthropic's Felix Rieseberg).
How it works: before executing your task, it answers four questions for that task's domain:
- What would a top professional do here that you aren't asking for?
- What raw material would they start from, instead of digested content?
- Which specific methods and tools would they use?
- What, other than you or the model, would prove the result is right?
It then rewrites your prompt to ask for exactly that — deeper, not bigger — and pauses for review before running.
